Don't say we're going to lose him as well?


William Ballache on Facebook :

"Eric Garcia wants to join Barcelona, #ManCity are aware of this, and are talking to the La Liga side about selling the player. City know that Garcia could leave for free next summer. In terms of 'personal details' with the player, 'everything is in place'."


I thought I read he was signing a new contract?

I read the other day Puyol advised him to stay at City? Unless Puyol knows something about Pep?

His contract is up in 2022 though as far as I’m aware, so this story about losing him for free next summer is bollocks

A blow if true

too slow and not tall enough.
not that bothered.

Balague seems to be peddling this story. I will wait.

If Pep is not staying, That will be a factor for Garcia, I think Puyol the Barca election which Laporte the president when Pep was there are big factors, we get banned next week, Barca will be after a lot more than Garcia IMO.

Contract expires: 30.06.2022

Annoying me now that’s it’s being reported as 2021.

Most recent rumours are that he’s keen to go back to Barca. Apparently nothing will be done until after the Champions League is concluded though.

If koubily and Ake are coming to city I see Garcia as back up, otter/stones probably on their way.
I'm not overly bothered about Garcia going to Barca he lacks pace, Bellis looks like a decent defender to be brought up the way garcia has, and has bags of pace.
My main concern is upfront we need another striker, jesus not an out and out poacher.

BS recent stuff says he doesny want barca

I've probably mentioned this before but he and Laporte look so balanced. They never look like they are extending themselves. Everything looks comfortable.

It said he doesnt barcas project. Barca are fucked at the mo.

It's good Barca are not in great shape, but he won't be too pleased he's getting games and now we are looking to sign 2 players who will be competing for the same position.

If we sign Ake, he is also here to play other positions, but that may not make him too pleased.

I really hope he stays.
