City just upped his wages 100% or something
Which is probably what he wanted to begin with and used leaving as leverage to get his wage demands.

Looks like Eric Garcia of La Masia will be a City player by the end of the week.

Reported fee is 2 mil euros and he's considered one of La Masia's top talents at the moment.

His agent Carles Puyol said that he and his client,"Consider City's youth project better than Barcelona's."

Man, what a way the club has come, youth wise and the attractiveness of the club for young players, if this transfer is true.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the money y'all are going to pay him.

I'm sure that has something to do with it, like it does with 99 percent of all transfers, but it isn't often that you hear someone with the reputation that Carles Puyol has admit that about his former club, especially when that club's youth academy is world renowned for it's development of players.

He also could just be using it as cover for all the $$$$ he's depositing. It sounds better to leave for fake footballing reasons than it does to leave for more money.

I just saw Claudio Bravo make more saves in 5 minutes than he made in any 5 months at City.
I hope Pep wasn't watching.

Ederson was voted as the best keeper in the Primeira Liga. We got a good one.

Looks like Ben Simmons isn't a huge fan of the Nike template either

Danilo being heavily linked. Don't hate the signing but don't love it either.

Foden was solid. We HAVE to get Mendy. Walker had Rashford in his pockey. And as soon as he swapped sides he scored. I'm not really a fan of Kolarov but with him going to Roma, Mendy is an absolute must. Probably need another as well. Fernandinho hasn't been horrible at either full back spot under Pep but we need depth.

Maybe Danilo slots in as backup at both spots? Still would rather another though.
