Dying on Mt.Neymar Hill
Arteta is not god ffs. He can’t take a guy who can’t defend and teach him to defend at the highest level. One that he coached as well. A guy who went from Barca academy, to city to back to Barca who had all sorts of top coaches. But somehow Arteta is gonna teach him something they couldn’t. Why couldn’t he improve lokonga or Nuno Tavares if he is so amazing
Teta has shown he can improve players who are willing to listen, learn, work hard and carry out instructions though. It’s widely known that Lokonga & Tavares didn’t have the best attitudes. Garcia was very highly rated as a youth. He hasn’t developed as expected but he’s still very young, has pedigree of playing for big clubs under pressure, is an international and stylistically a good fit for the team. He’s played in the league before and wouldn’t cost too much. I’m not saying it will definitely work out but he’s getting written off too quickly. I read somewhere that Pep was desperate to keep him at City.
