Oh please spare me the hypocrisy on this thread.
Nobody knows what he is going through. You guys are just looking for a scape goat... today Arthur other days Dembele.
Kluivert who was probably drunk, killed someone with his car in 95...three years later, he went on to sign for Barcelona.

What relevance does Kluivert have?

Barca are well rid of Arthur who has countless incidents of amateurish behaviour.

Damn instead of riding the momentum he had of the 1st season and the copa america he had won , he went full retard with his off pitch antics the following season. What a clown.

The amigos have been cancer but our new "talent" has been as unprofessional as they come. Arthur, Dembele, even sulking Coutinho come to mind. This is half the reason why it's 2020 and we're fielding the same XI as 2016 basically.

Need to start off with a clean slate with only FDJ as the untouchable.

There's a reason for that. There's no leadership at the club. As a result there's no integrity, no leading by example, no standard upheld by anyone. So everyone just does whatever the fuck they want.

The problem was not so much as not playing these, rather his insistence on playing the Amigos & favorites all the time (especially the dreaded and quite awful midfield) despite them being shit most of the time. It is not wrong to call out when the same starting 11 put out there by the coach plays dreadfully week after week after week and ask for a change.

Then again when there aren't any alternatives to Os Amigos what can you do? Shit...looks like Valverde wasn't s bad after all : lol:

It starts with the board.They enable and normalize this behavior. Yeah they sold Arthur off before his antics but they didn't foresee him spiralizing like this they just needed to do whatever corrupt thing they do. I can't wait to hear all the silenced inside corruption that comes out as a result of Barto and co.

The culture of a squad is set by the seniors though (and beyond that the coach and the board). That's why Pep got rid of the likes of Ronaldinho and Deco because he wanted to change the culture and have Messi and co given the right guidance. Now it's gone full circle and those young players are the seniors and not a good influence anymore.

Our seniors may be called entitled, lazy or whatever, but they have never provoked with their off-field behaviour.

Probably not off field shenanigans as much as a very lazy, relaxed environment they created. It's hard to create a winner mentality if all the seniors are palling around and cracking jokes. No to mention the intensity of practices are nonexistant. Watching established players getting starts even though there is no warrant to earning them besides favoritism and marketing.

And there does not seem to be a strict oversight of home life either i.e Dembele getting away with junk food and fifa till 3am in the morning.

Arthur, in my opinion, had the potential to be really good. But this kind of behavior shows a really naive and immature person. We should aim for better so it's good he left.
On the other hand, I know nothing about pjanic.
