Emi

[Coneys Knee 953]

Chuffed to bits for EMI, and so well deserved,  but worried that once he rubs shoulder with those superstars that his head will be turned and we’ll have seen the last of him in a city shirt.

Alternatively he now knows he can get called up whilst playing for Norwich.

Brilliant news for him! Totally deserved 👍

Excellent news and such a massive achievement for him.

Leo can learn a lot from Emi 😁

Well if people haven't heard of little ol' Norwich in South America before, they have now... Sends a message to other potential starlets

Just imagine in 1999 I spent some time working in Mar Del Plata, Argentina. I wonder did I see a toddler Emi wondering around the seafront not realising he would become one of my super hero's?

Really, what is it like ?

I once spent some time working just off the Mar del Plata coast as it was the home base for Argentina's submarines. I really quite like the idea of visiting there some day to see what it looks like. I did occasionally listen to the local FM radio station but it's just not the same.

Didn't realise that was where Emi came from.

Quite a traditional seaside resort, nice seafront and hotels dominated by a really plush casino. By Argentine standards it was quite upmarket.

Thanks, I really do quite like the idea of visiting BA and a couple of other places someday so maybe I'll make it there 🙂

This means nothing, but.....one of my clients is Argentinian, and is a footy nut, I sent her the piccy of Emi, with championship trophy and his national flag wrapped around him, her reply was interesting......."Nowich fans have nothing to fear, Buendia is happy at Norwich and living In Norfolk. His wife is happy too as she is looking forward to raising the children there, "......she provided as little evidence as any other spekkylayshun on here.

I am happy to take her at her word and rest my mind on this subject, until something concrete happens.

Just shows we can't believe everything we're told.

True, its a good job I take most things footy related with a pinch of salt.  I said at the time that she provided no evidence  , and if anyone  took it as gospel  or bet their house on it, more fool them. 

I lost no sleep over Emi leaving. Nor worried about whether he would or not, waste of time imo.
