He should definitely stay away from this forum then.Yes, one can argue that well-paid players should have thick enough skin not to be affected by social media abuse but players are also human beings and are bound to be affected somehow - some players more than others.
And my experience in life is that the guys who are quickest to abuse and insults others are often a very insecure person who's him-/herself is overly sensitive to insults and snap back at the smallest indications of insults, even where there is none
Koeman: Lenglet struggled with online abuse

Barcelona's Koeman: Lenglet struggled with social media abuse after Cadiz mistake
Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman said Clement Lenglet has struggled to deal with the criticism which followed his mistake in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Cadiz.
Lenglet's foul on Ruben Sobrino in the final minute of the game handed Cadiz a penalty, which they scored from, as Barca missed the chance to close the gap on La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid to six points.
A lot of the post-match analysis in the local media focused on the defender's error and social media has been awash with abuse for the France international, who was pictured crying in his car after the game.
"I spoke with Clement this morning," Koeman confirmed in a news conference on Tuesday when asked how Lenglet was coping. "He's a serious guy and a top professional. He's taken this very personally.
"There are other things that happened in the game; one player alone is not to blame for dropping points. Yes, he could do better, and he's made mistakes [this season], but we made mistakes in attack as well through other players.
"At 2-0, an isolated incident in the last minute is not as decisive. So he cannot take all the blame. I'm going to defend my player, even if there are things he can improve, like all the players."

- Facebook 'horrified' by racist abuse received on social media
Players at the top level of the game are increasingly subjected to abuse online. Woolwich coach Mikel Arteta recently urged social media companies to tackle the abuse and highlighted the damaging effect it is having on players.
Lenglet, 25, could get the chance to make amends for Sunday's mistake when the Blaugrana face Elche on Wednesday ahead of what could prove a make-or-break seven days.
They then face Sevilla, who are third in La Liga, twice in five days -- away from home in the league on Saturday and then in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal at Camp Nou next Wednesday.
Barca are fourth in the table but could temporarily rise to second if they win their next two games, moving to within two points of Atletico, before trying to turn around a 2-0 deficit in the cup against Sevilla.
"A lot is at stake this week," Koeman added. "We can still fight for the title. Any team can slip up or lose a game, as we have seen recently, but we can't afford any more Cadiz repeats.
"We have two huge games this week and then we will think about the Copa. It will be tough to turn things around against Sevilla -- it would be easier with fans -- but we want to fight to [win something]."
We have no idea what option we're down to. The only thing we know is Bastoni wants to stay at Inter. Beyond that we don't have a scooby.
He only approved £100m of the £150m. Fucking tight-fisted bald cunt.
Not to some who seem like they on Flakka (YouTube if you don't know what it is), bumping their heads against the same Levy wall. Only difference this season is that we got some luck out of the bargain bin.
).Great look what happened last time got one of their players.

We still linked 200 players. We still hear about Paratici and Levy's master plan. We still hear from Gold and Co, 'Conté excited by new Target'. We still hear, 'Spurs Ace heading for Everton 20 million transfer on the cards' (and they speaking about Harry Winks
At what point do we realise Levy is not quite as interested in winning The EPL as we are.:contefacepalm2:
Sounds sensible to me better than buying a dud from barca as per posts from many on here.
If it’s a loan , and Conte thinks he can get him back to his best , it’s got to be worth a shot
So...Romero - de Ligt - Gvardiol 
Raphinha* would tick that box though.
