I'd say less the fans but the board in the case of Saviola and Riquelme. When the announcement to ship Saviola out on loan the first season I think most Barca fans were shocked as Saviola was a big fan favourite, that was more of a board and Rijkaard's decision. I remember the Boixos Nois rebelling and booing in matches and chanting Saviola's name when he wasn't here that first season. Also with Riquelme the board pinned the blame for our 6th place finish largely on him and he was unfairly transfer listed. But Barca fans do sometimes turn on their stars when things are going down just as Madrid have recently, Kluivert was a good example of that mainly because he turned unbelievably crap.
