  1. Everyone is saying the want to leave ASAP but lets remeber he was very important for a peice of time when we needed him, he needs at least some respect

  2. Garcia should pay for his own move, we've laid out too much on his development since he came to city and we don't need players who don't want to be here. I for one don't rate him, it seems Peps his only admirer.

  3. Honestly disgusted at all the comments about Garcia… the left barca when he was 16/17…been away from home for the entire lockdown with no family in Manchester, no friends and no one to talk to in his native language… living in awful manchester weather too, imagine how tough that is on him… when your home youth club comes asking for you how can you say no to that… of course City is a top club but to live close to your family and friends and speak your home language is far greater than anything else. Stop hating on him for wanting to go HOME, blame City and Barca for being nobheads not Gacia…Esteemed kompany describes this situation perfectly, let's not be plastic fans and start becoming like the ManUtd fanbase, toxic.

  4. We need to stop this Laporte bs! The man is world-class and we have to keep these center backs! We are in a big competition and need a big squad. So cut this bs!!! Stop feeding into this

  5. I'm starting to feel sorry for Garcia, we know he wants to leave, no hard feelings this his choice, but why is the club persisting to keep him for no reason they've handled this awfully

  6. Laporte is a defender, you cant sub one of the best defenders out there for 2 foward players, you should sell someone like Mahrez instead

  7. Also, don't care much about Garcia. Not like he did play well enough when the chances were given to him. He can go if he wishes to, but it's very unprofessional of him to act like that. It might affect his future….

  8. I think City should explore playing 3 at the back next season with stones Laporte and Diaz. Occasionally Ake playing some games in rotation and possibly Walker playing on the right side in some games as well. Can’t have all these premium defenders on the bench at the same time too often, they need minutes too, plus it’ll bring a fresh dynamic to the team

  9. It wouldn’t make sense to sign both Halaand and Messi. Not just from an FFP point of view, but because Messi is not going to defend. De Bruyne already has less defensive intensity than he used to back in the day. That’s not good for the balance of play.

    IF they sign both, then De Bruyne is going to have to go. Personally, if I were Txiki I would let him go honestly. After those comments after the Lyon game over the summer, seeing him walk about the pitch on most games this year, wanting more than 22 million pounds a year or whatever it is, and him pushing 30, I wouldn’t sign him to a long term contract.

    He is an amazing player but mentally, I don’t think he’s quite there and he would be better off somewhere else. If you want to invest in someone like Messi and/or Halaand, it doesn’t make sense to pay De Bruyne that amount of money.

    In City do want to become a truly great club, they shouldn’t be held to ransom and bend over backwards for any player. The project should come first. Fergie didn’t hesitate to get rid of the likes of Beckham and others when they were getting too big headed for their own good and the club kept winning. City shouldn’t be afraid of doing the same.

    That said, if Messi doesn’t sign, they I would try to get Grealish, personally. Either way, I’m pretty sure that IF you lot sign De Bruyne to a lucrative, long term deal, it’s going to be a similar story to Ozil at Arsenal. Watch this space.

  10. Good luck Garcia, my personal opinion is that he will be playing in the Spanish 2nd division in 2 yr I genuinely hope for better for him seems a good kid but who leaves pep? When pep wants you then you should do everything pep says he is the maker off players builder off clubs! I.e god off football 😄Garcia who in 6month sorry he seems a good kid making a shit choice!! Go to b Dortmund better chance off growing!! Onward an upward blues

  11. If what u said about Eric we should cut his wages and donate it to the NHS if he wants out that bad then let him go but refuse to continue to pay him and maybe even terminate his contract

  12. alaba to madrid is done, if u guys dont believe it, see fabrizio's ig page,
    and alphonso davies is exactly the lb we need, and ik tis gonna be expensive, but if we get the bundesliga pair(haaland), till around 130-150m, i wud be happy, also we hv some players to unload and im gonna be honest, jesus wud be unloaded when we sign haaland

  13. We need to give Angelino a chance when he's back from loan at Leipzig. He has proven he's got potential, definitely better than Mendy on the rare occasion that he is fit enough to play.

  14. I don't want Laporte go Yan Canoto is the future we need A Left back I say Luca Digne or that youth from Leicester or be Audacious and go in for Theo Hernandez and as for Garcia he can leave I understand but they can just terminate his contract because playing with emotions will cost us wins due to his head not being in it so good luck to him btw Marhez needs to step up just putting that out there

  15. We would be STUPID to sell Laporte, Stones need more than a few games to be considered the main guy for me. Right now he is in good form but I still don't think the quality is as natural has it is with Ruben and Laporte. On the other hand, Stone's for may be down to Ruben being just the right match for him.
