Eric Garcia (loaned to Girona)

Just remembering times when Xavi said Garcia is better then Araujo because he can pass the ball.

When did he ever do that?

 

[Total-Football]

The sooner the riqui puig of defenders leave the better

 

[vuji_31]

Last season Xavi said that.

If he is on low wage, then it is okay to have him as 5th option, but nothing more. He is just bad.

Him and Pique are our worst CB pairing that could happen, and in most vital game of the season they were only two able to play.

Even on low wage, it will be better if we could sell him.
He is a "home-grown " in EPL, so maybe some club will make a decent offer for him.
He is losing his spot for Alonso of all players, and he has just become 22, too young to just be 5th option at that age.

We are already linked to new CB, which would only makes sense if we are expecting someone to leave

 

[jamrock]

He'll end up at celta soon.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Exactly, if he still has resale value, sell him now, not when we have to loan him out and pay 75% of his salary to get rid of him.

He will never make it at Barca.

I can’t decide if this guy is better or worse than Bartra at the same age… probably worse…?

 

[Andresito]

Loan him out to a PL team that can challenge for EL spots for 2 seasons while Alonso/Inigo Martinez can still walk.

Still dangerous though with Araujo semi injury prone, Kounde being the best RB in the squad and Christensen a hypochondriac.

 

[Barcilliant]

Why haven't we tried Garcia at DM or in midfield. His passing IS good, better than Gavi for sure. I'd like to see him there. No way he should be a CB. He just 8snt cut out to be one in the modern game.

 

[Porque]

Rumours Arteta is interested in.

Take the money and run to Ndicka (if possible).

Then sell in a season if he looks OK but not spectacular (ahem, Kessie).

You need more than passing to play DM. Your IQ is very low. You dont know ball.

He was tried and rejected after first training session so please keep your low IQ suggestions to yourself

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Either way, he should leave for his own careers sake..

I'm all for insulting people when they are stupid.

But you're claiming to know they tested Garcia at DM on the first training session and gave up on it as factual. How ridiculous would it be to test a CB, or any other position rather, only one day instead of consecutive practices and scrimmages before coming to an accurate conclusion.

More often than not, the only person you're actually roasting is yourself. Quite entertaining to say the least.

 

[Andresito]

Once again, being good on the ball while facing the whole pitch is different compared to being good on the ball facing your own goal. Having Eric as DM would limit our possibilities to play out from the back as he isn't comfortable in those situations.

There's no correlation between being good on the ball as CB and being able to play DM. If anyone has a couple of examples where a player jumps between those positions seamlessly I'm all ears.

Even Masche struggled as a DM for us.
