in regards to ferran leaving for psg, i'm going to say it's a good thing. for him. not for us, though. this entire saga of his transfer has made me realise one thing, and that is we, as a club, are spectacularly shit at supporting some of our players. ferran torres’ problem has never been physical, or that he's a bad player, it's a lack of confidence and self-esteem issues stemming from how every one of his mistakes is amplified until it stops being “striker missed a chance” to “this guy doesn't deserve a first team spot”. we should not be posting that fucking johan cruyff quote when we were the ones that wanted him out and only ever focused on his mistakes, never his goal contributions. and then to act like he must be grateful no matter how much this club has deteriorated his mental health, is just wild. i have been a barcelona supporter for twelve years. this has been a consistent problem in our club and fandom. i hope he goes to psg and comes into his own, wins trophies, and discovers who he is. he is not obligated to stay where he feels miserable. sports fandom, particularly football, is too comfortable with unhinged and cruel behaviour towards the athletes. ferran doesn't owe us anything. he chose the best option for his career, and frankly, i can't fault him for it. good for him, i've seen this film before. neymar, dembele, ferran, it all goes.
