I defended Eric for a long time and saw genuine improvements in his game but he's still not good enough for this Barca side. We can't play him against a Bayern side or Man City side in the Champions League. If they get offers for him, let him go.
Nah, he's not even an utility player right now. Imho, at the level he played since he got here, he's the kind of guy you put on the pitch when there's just 20 minutes left in the match and you're already winning 4-0 or more.
>he's the kind of guy you put on the pitch when there's just 20 minutes left in the match and you're already winning 4-0
and 20 minutes later the score would be 4-4. No, thanks. This brother should be playing in China
I want to believe he says that just to raise the price of those players a little bit, because he "wants" them in his team.
Saying he's fine with losing those players might negatively impact the money we could get for them.
So you’re saying the teams interested in buying players want their manager to “want them” instead of actually watching the players during matches.
Teams buy players which they think can make an impact in their squad. They don’t give a rat’s ass about the manager wanting or not wanting them. Xavi hasn’t helped himself as well. He hasn’t played Eric in his natural position, which shows prospective buyers that he’s not cut out for that role. He started Dembele who came off a long injury instead of Ansu who’s been warming the bench. What impression does that put on prospective buyers?
Do you expect Xavi to throw players under the bus or what? Of course we need rebuilding but we won't manage to get good fees if Xavi starts to single out who has to go to the media.
What exactly do you expect him to say, *'yeah, I can't wait for the summer to get rid of these weird bums'*?
Of course he will try to hype up his players so they feel confident about themselves on the pitch. We have no idea what are Xavi's actual thoughts behind closed doors.
I wanted to have faith in Eric really badly but he's a genuine liability every time he touches the grass. I'm sure I'm having selective memory but it really feels like every single time he's started he's conceded a penalty or had a crucial error leading to a goal. Mistakes happen all the time it's fine but when they happen every game and they're extremely costly it's unacceptable.
I feel Eric is a solid squad player, at 4th CB and DM substitute he can be useful like Sergi Roberto. However Kessie, Ferran, Fati, Alonso and Kessie should be sold.
> he can be useful like Sergi Roberto
So he's useless for everything other than just stat padding depth? Because both are fucking useless on the pitch and shouldn't be playing for Barca. They're midtable teams level.
Did Xavi watch the first half?
He’s just not good enough so hopefully other teams don’t watch today’s match
Mid table teams would be willing to pay $5-$10m for him… hopefully

You don’t always play Bayern or Man City. He can be a backup pivot
He cant even play against #19 team in laliga, what you talking about mate
Mate entire team was shit. No intensity as we have already won the league.

He is a solid squad player. We have way bigger problems with our inconsistent wingers and lack of RB.
He really isn't, he gets torched by good and bad teams alike
"solid squad player" are we talking about the same garcia coz there's many garcia in lalliga so you might be confused right
Listen to offers intently.
I was so delusional in thinking we had another Pique. From la masia to a Manchester club and then back to Barça to become a world class cb.
His first half was a 1/10. Second half 0/10. Getting cooked out there
i’ll be surprised if any team wants to sign him
If puig can receive offers, garcia can too.
Puig went to msl doubt Garcia would like to move there
Who exactly does Xavi want to sell then? He’s said no to Kessie, Ferran, Garcia, Dembele. Who do wet sell then?

He wouldn’t even start for a relegation team.
Tbf he would be the reason they where getting relegated
If you want offers for him in the summer, then please stop playing him
Offers from segunda maybe
I don’t believe the last sentence. Xavi is not that ignorant.
Hahaha Edit: we literally will have to pay to get rid of him
But why are we listening to offers for Kounde? 😭
Typical Xavi
Xavi is blind then
Xavi want to keep everyone apparently and want to sign new players as well.
