I'm sick of people saying "how can u want him out after all he's done for you?"!
Honestly, that's a pathetic reason to keep him..
As someone who watches Barca every week I can tell you this isn't the result of one match, it was a long time coming, he's been nothing but a disappointment since the World Cup.
Last year despite his progressively slow and ineffective play a lot of fans looked the other way because of how much of an icon he was, not to mention his free kicks were keeping us afloat during our striker crisis.
But this year there is no more excuses, he has been a disruptive influence all season, he's had his moments of brilliance but all stories show that he just isn't willing to get into shape. He's too sluggish, Real Madrid was able to counter everything he did except for about 2 really great minutes, he has no pace or stamina and while work rate was never his strong point now it's at the point where his tricks are next to useless for the most part. Compare his performances to that of Iniesta on the left, Iniesta is less flashy but is able to actually create legitimate chances through the proper mix of brilliant technique and speed.
Ronnie's time here has come to an end and the longer he stays the worse it will get, when he's gone the wounds will be able to heal and he will be remembered as a club legend, but for now he needs a new challenge. I think he should go to AC Milan, they need the help and have the resources and Brazilian-friendly environment to get him back into the game. Chelsea would be the wrong move, he'd be hacked to pieces in England, but if they are willing to pay us outrageous money I won't object.
Cash in on Ronaldinho, part with Rijkaard, bring in Mourinho, Lippi, or Valverde and use the money we make off of Ronnie to bring in some reinforcements, that's the only way we can go forward at this point. Madrid is too strong to sit back and pretend it's 2005. We are probably better off waiting until the summer though, at this point the most we can hope for is damage control.

lol@Saying after all ronaldinho has done for the club
He gets paid to do a job with one of the top salaries for a footballer on the planet if he doesn't do his job to the best of his abilty he should get his ass kicked like anyone else in anyother job.
Do any of you have the luxury of being hopeless this year and getting away with it because you have had good years in the past? NO.
I'd take lots of players over a lazy fat brazillian that sambas every night who is wasting the great talent he has.

These guys said it better than I ever could..
Basically, it's pretty unfair from all these other people to say Barcelona fans are unbelievable for not wanting him anymore.. He gets paid to do his job, so when he doesn't do it, there's no use to keep him!
