He will not answer this one he will turn amala as usual

He thinks he can make Barca fans feel bad about Nico Gonzalez

We can also say pep was careless for letting Eric Garcia leave mancity since he has been very good for Barca towards the end of last season and easily our best defender this season grin
No, I already responded. Some will say your education or lack of it has a done a number on you.

- Eric Garcia refused to sign a new contract at City. Which means City wanted to keep him.
- Eric Garcia wasn't assumed to be a LB who couldn't compete with Mendy or Delph so he was told to find another club.

You don't have to keep digging yourself into a hole.

Oscar Bobb's ceiling is higher than Cole Palmer grin
Nico Gonzalez potential is higher than Caicedo grin

My question was not to you.. You are renowned for cooking up imaginary narratives in ur head and beating around the bush with long epistles trying to justify the imaginary narrative u cook up

I was talking to the guy below, he said everyone else was just replying to argue. Since he is not replying to argue, he should tell us in his own opinion how Nico Gonzalez was stolen from Barca by Man City..
Like it wouldn't be easy to simply run any type of search on the claims made above to see if I made it up? I wonder why you lack the courage to do it.

Or Busquets and BdO winner Rodri aren't treated like the pinnacle of Central Defensive Midfielders?

Did you not see me post Barca B & others refer to NicoG's potential as Rodri-esque & Busquetsque? If you can find any reports of Caicedo with the same level of comparison that would have been an informed person's way of challenging that claim.

Mental bandwidth is important.

You that don't reply to argue, read the statement below and share with us in ur opinion how Man City stole Nico from Barca (knowing fully well City paid FC Porto 50M for him)
Please check my previous reply to Airber,i addressed that.

Always relieving to see reasonable people that can actually read and comprehend.

My point was Barca would've even sold him for more money if Xavi hadn't misprofiled him. That Nico's ceiling is higher than even I thought because I didn't know he'll pick up quickly. Even Rodri was benched by Pep in 2021 UCL final even though we signed him in 2019.
Pls stop,am getting angrier, imagine using Jong as DM now with no replacement. angry sad

Below is ur reply to him, u said Porto executed the steal by getting him for dirt cheap..
Bimmarlykay:
If I'm not mistaken,he said, 'basically stole from Barça due to Xavi's carelessness'.

Only that Porto executed the steal.

I'd add that we make blunders in almost every transfer,so it can be a steal for Porto or City(should Nico perform exceedingly). angry
I ask again, u that don't reply to argue pls explain how Nico Gonzalez was stolen from Barca by Mancity

I don't even want people to share my opinion. But at least debate it constructively & intelligently. Every argument has holes. I tend to respect people who can find the hole in any argument versus the mob squad of irate uninformed people who believe in hiding behind their collective wrongness.

I just don't have time to start searching out people's comments from the Barca thread. Same people who dragged Xavi to pieces are now here playing Ostrich because misery loves company.

1. NicoG was told you won't get game time. You're not a DM. You're an 8/10 and others are better than you at it.

Being compared to Eric Garcia as if Eric was rated like the next Puyol. And even at that, Pep still tried to keep the mofo. Even kept playing him all through 2019/20 when the defence was leaky.

Maybe Eric Garcia refused to sign contract at city because Barca had a secret meeting with him to sign him for free grin

Look at Eric Garcia impact are Barca now ,far better than what Nico Gonzalez is doing for city ,yet you won’t see Barca fans come and write newspaper and create agenda grin

You're giving personal opinion where simple evidence would be enough. Meanwhile, I am saying A & you're replying me with B.

I don't rate Eric Garcia. But Pep did & wanted to keep him. Pep saw him as a CB that could play RB and DM when called upon. So Pep did not misprofile him. Eric left City just like Ferran left. They wanted to go back to Spain.

Nico Gonzalez, unlike Eric, was categorized as advanced midfielder. That's the reason he wasn't trusted compared to some others. A player that YOUR OWN scouts had believed could become the next Busquets or Rodri. Isn't that bad talent ID from Xavi?

Can't you see the difference between what I am saying & what you're saying?

And why are you comparing Eric Garcia's so-called good performances to NicoG's? What's the correlation? Did I even compare Nico to any of your players? Where did the need to compare them come from?

Meanwhile, a player's potential isn't tied to age. Different reasons could stall anyone's development. Dembele still went on to win BdO but it is unlikely he'd have achieved it in Barca. However, nobody pans Xavi for Dembele simply because Xavi believed in him.

That's the point I'm making. That had Xavi seen in Nico G what Pep had seen, there's no way you let that player go. No. Players like that you keep them till you develop them. That was my point.

Nico isn't the finished product. So my post wasn't claiming he was. My post was hyping him for adapting to the role quickly.

Its clear alot of you here just read and interact with each other's opinions that nobody goes to check what the actual facts are saying.

City of this season isn't 24/25 season & Nico G is part of the reason. Check how many goals we've conceded compared to the team most people here thought will break Chelsea's record. Then compare attacks. What you'll find might surprise you.

This is from under that post in 2023 that reported Xavi didn't see Nico as a pivot. Many such comments. I don't want to bring comments from 2025 because it can be down to recency bias.

So what agenda again do I have?

Big kudos to everyone in this group!
The level of maturity and composure we all displayed despite the guy trying to gaslight us is truly commendable. We proved that our focus remains on our club and its progress, not on needless distractions.
The way we handled the cheap talks with calm and silence shows how mature we are, we arefocused, united, and disciplined. We don’t chase noise, we chase greatness. This is the spirit that defines a winning family. Massive respect to you all.
See you tomorrow guys.

I was looking at Iniesta statistics and I must say he would be a very good coach once he starts his coaching journey.
But the ironic part is, he will never find a player like himself.
