I like this guy already.
It must take real strength of character at that age to admit to yourself that the club you've always dreamed of playing for doesn't want you any more, and to not only accept it straight away, but with open arms embrace the chance to play for a club in a different country that you'd barely even considered beforehand.
Seems like he really just wants to be somewhere he's loved, as corny as that sounds, and tbf it's a hell of a lot more likely here than it is at Barca.

Absolutely, couldn't agree more, he's got to be crushed about what Barcelona did to him with only a couple of days notice so I'd be amazed if he didn't need to be with his family for a break, the least the club could do.

I wouldn't be surprised if the holiday was already organised before we signed him.

Let’s hope so. Also helpful for him to play for a Portuguese speaking manager.
Emerson exit from Barca not the first time someone has had a phone call and told to go. In the BT Sport documentary Greavsie go to about 53 minutes in , Jimmy relates how he got a phone call from Bill Nicholson, Bill said I have Martin Peters in my office I want to sign him I want you to go to West Ham in part exchange , Bill added .... we no longer want you at the club your services are no longer required, that is Jinmmy's version of events so might not be exactly how it happened.

More likely that we were already speaking to Barca re iliax moriba and Barca either they mentioned they needed him to move on or Fab asked who else was available. I imagine it was a quickly evolving situation so not much time to talk to the player. I wouldn't take this as an indication of how things usually go with Fab.
I’m sure Danny Thomas got stick but I thought he had everything. Potential to be a great full back

I'm probably asking too much here, but maybe just maybe this guy might actually turn up to training when he's supposed to, make himself available to play football games for us, and maybe even refrain from lying to the fans on social media and/or undermining the team, his boss, and his bosses' boss through BS media leeks!!
Talk about hitting the jackpot guys!!
Imagine if he actually comes in and fulfils the bare minimum of his contractual obligations!!

Argentina and Brazil are on the UK's red list, so would need to quarantine.
There was talks of the players heading to Croatia where they either wouldn't need to quarantine, or much lighter restrictions.
Means they could still do some training, before heading back to the UK (no quarantine)
