For posting a popcorn emoji? To express humor over a comically dragged out and obvious transfer saga?
Umtiti didn't affect anything, I really don't care about what he did. Over-sensitive to hate him over a sarcastic tweet. Pique on the other hand had an active participation in hurting the club's image. That is pretty low.
I'm guessing Umtiti might have thought Griezmann was coming based of Pique's tweet.
Gerard however, is a fucking cunt for what he's done here.
Not so sure about that at all. Pique posted with several popcorn emojis, you normally don't look forward to something positive with popcorns
Don't you? I would imagine if you saw Pique's tweet in isolation it suggested he was looking forward to something, accompanied by popcorn.
I seriously don't. If Pique had posted some champagne emojis I would have probably thought that he thought Griezmann was coming.
We'll agree to disagree
Your thoughts on Pique however?
He obviously had an ax to grind with the club with that gleeful emoji. I don't understand how a player could or should enjoy seeing his own club losing face.
He wasn't reveling in the misfortune of Barca. Just making a joke over a saga that created a lot of hysteria and theater.
That's hardly his fault. The club makes itself lose face with all these grand guarantees of star players only to fail to handle things appropriately and professionally. Umtiti didn't influence Griez to make the video or enable it in anyway. He just made a comment, a harmless one at that.
He wasn't reveling in the misfortune of Barca. Just making a joke over a saga that created a lot of hysteria and theater. If they can't manage to sign players they promised to and let us succumb to these embarrassing public failures then I don't see how Umtiti making a tweet makes any difference. Far too small of an expression to draw any conclusions about his 'intent' or ulterior motives.
