I could be.

I mean, everyone else has had a go, Dan, so why shouldn't I?

Well, maybe not.

Championship manager would say that everyone's been waxing lyrical, wouldn't they, about Joanne Garcia over the last 48 hours?

Of course they have, because his performance was so, so good.

Admittedly, some of the excitement was taken away from him by the other Garcia the following night when Gonzalo Garcia got a hat-trick for Real Madrid.

But there was a real sense, I think, of the Derby performance from Joan Garcia being really, really important in terms of how he responded to the pressure.

because there was a huge amount of pressure on him, a huge amount of noise around him in the way that he played and the maturity of that performance.

And if you like the kind of the emotional control of it as well.

But I also think what it did was it cemented something that had already been forming in people's minds.

And that is the idea that Barcelona have bought themselves a player who's a genuine game changer.

And may well be for a decade or more that this is a really, really significant signing.

It's not just a guy who had one good game.

It's a guy who's looked really, really good all season.

Look, last year,

There's no two ways about it.

Szczesny coming out of retirement and winning a treble for Barcelona and getting to a European Cup semi-final and very nearly reaching a final was one of the great stories in football.

But I think deep down when we stripped away all of that and we stripped away how good his performances were as well, I think everybody kind of felt at the end of last season, yeah, but Barcelona really need a goalkeeper that takes them up a level.

And I think what's happened with Joao Garcia is that they've started to think they've found him.

What has been apparent, of course, with Barcelona so far this season as they look short at the back.
