I wouldn’t have minded him leaving in different circumstances, he really fucked us on price by being so adamant he only wanted Barca. I’m sure we could have got a lot more money for him if he didn’t say he’d only leave to join Barca. The whole thing with Spanish teammates putting a barca jersey on him too, it was so distasteful and disrespectful to a team/manager that put him on that stage.

I don’t hold any hate to him, but how he left was still badly handled. Losing Cesc + Narsi same summer was a dark day for us.
