Yes after we kept losing and Barca became the greatest team in the universe he thought the grass was definitely greener...however if for example we had beaten Man Utd in that Semi a few seasons back or even Barca who knows if he would have left.
Well what else what he going to say Arsenal are shite and i want to leave etc.

He wanted to go home simples he kept pining to go home. Yes he gave us good seasons so di lots os players we had.

If he went to a madrid or Inter then you could say he left just to win stuff but he had his heart set on Barca and Barca only and nothing was stoping him going there.
