      He player we booed and bashed for being hurt leaving just doesnt make sense. This is like a abusive boyfriend acting shock the girl leaves after he says for the first time you didnt do as bad of a job. You bashed this man constantly and blamed him for everything why tf would he stay

      Why are the analysts speaking like they know very little about the Fati situation? Fati had a near career ending injury. After returning, Xavi was advised to ease him back into the team which is why he was always coming on as a sub. Fati needed time to get confident in his style of play considering its that very style that provoked the bad tackle that injured him and he also needed time to get to as close to 100% as he could get.

      Furthermore, we gave hospital resident Dembele 6 years, so why are we talking about Fati leaving after 2?

      I remember when Dembele first arrived at Barca he got injured for like 6 months after only being there for like a week or 2. When you’re that fragile, you’re useless. Facts. Haters gonna hate but Dembele needs to eat more

      Is noone picking up this on yet? PSG seriously hurting barca and RM with Dembele and Mbappe. If Dembele left one month ago, Barca could have pulled Messi. SO they waited till they were sure Messi is not returning. And with Mbappe they want to exhaust RM's capacity to pull players with funding. And if they can not they would miss their golden attack for one more year.

      Brokalona this brings happiness to my heart, you fuckers loved to tease phonzy about how dembele owned him, but now who owns who?

      As a Barcelona fan for more than 25 years, I must say this Dembele departure it's one of the best news I've heard in years. Such an overrated player, he was never going to be successful at our team because he is just not good enough. I was never happy with his transfer back in 2017. It just brought us more negatives than positives.

      It's a happy moment for FC Barcelona.

      Barca always play the victim, as long as they tap up players, make public statements regarding players that are under contract with other clubs, want to push players out etc, it's all fair.. but the moment a player or club does the same they start screaming loyalty and betrayal.. fact is Barca are a massive club in a shitty situation who have no one else to blame but themselves for it.. may be show a little bit of class atleast

      Regarding Dembele, I’m very disappointed with his decision to leave for PSG. Barcelona gave him 3 seasons to prove himself again, and he kind of did, pretty much mixed during those seasons, but all that time Dembele has been with us and now all of that thrown to the curb and join PSG for not $100M but for $50M, and yet Barcelona will only receive $25M from the deal since Dembele and his agent will be recouping the other $25M. I wish all the best for Dembele, but I wish he didn’t leave the way he’s leaving atm.

      Kinda reminds u of Neymar when he said a few weeks before leaving that he’s staying at Barcelona, and then after that the rest is history.

      Haha they forget how they ostracised him from the squad not too long ago and made him the scapegoat. I’d have moved on if I were him too!

      And on Fati. The athletic covered this in great detail already. The problem with Fati is Barcelona, he was one of the few bright sparks in the post Messi world and they played him too much, rushed his return and managed his injuries terribly.
      The problem isn’t Fati.
