Worthy start of a thread for our saviour.
His biggest achievement will be that it's the end of the terrorist regime in the club.
We can finally look forward to another UCL glory in the upcoming years.
Honestly, I don't think there is a better 25m business that can be done these days. Its almost peanuts compared to others.

I'm often critical of Deco and Laporta but I have to give them props for this transfer. Firstly because they even went for a goalkeeper, I was sure MATS would stay 1st choice for years like it was in the past where standards didn't matter, just the name and status. Secondly that they signed another local boy, the best keeper in the league this season for a reasonable price.
It's gonna be interesting to see how Garcia will adapt to the high line and building from the back. It's not a sure thing but I'm optimistic that it will work out.

I suspect it's Flick who told them he needs a new good starting GK.
Yep, I mentioned it earlier. In those early games especially that Monaco defeat Flick didn't look happy. This transfer has Flicks finger prints all over it. In his dominant Bayern side Neuer would often bail Bayern out with some brilliant saves. Flick sees the same type of keeper in Garcia. This may actually be one of Flicks greatest achievements. Forcing the terrorist out after years of going under the radar. I also bet that 8 2 defeat had alot to do with it. Terrorist was atrocious that night and made a horrible situation even worse with his arrogance.

Deco was reportedly already looking at GKs before Flick. But ofc, keep giving credit to Bumsi for everything good and blame Deco for everything wrong at the club.
And we'll have to see if he'll actually be good. I have serious doubts he'll last more than 2-3 seasons especially starting his career behind no defense with Flick's suicidal system. Anyway, good luck, he'll need it.
E: First part of my post wasn't meant directly for you but to most people here who are doing that. They know who they are.
