If Tranquillo Barnetta leaves the Philadelphia Union in the offseason to go back to Switzerland, you can’t be mad.
You can wish he stayed. You can be sad to see him go. But you can’t be mad.
Ever since joining the Union in the middle of last season, Tranquillo has been one of the most solid professionals on the team. He’s the type of guy that fans here profess to love - a guy who shows up to work every day. He doesn’t complain, he just does his job and does it well. Of all of the players that have been in a uniform since he joined the club, most of them have taken a game off.
