Emi's leaving statement

[Hardhouse44 261]

Yada yada. Didn’t like it enough to stay. The fact is he’s chosen Villa. A team most city fans can’t stand. 
 

do I blame, no he choose money. I can’t see he’s really chosen a massive step up in the quality of team he’s playing for.  Having chosen his preferred route in life I hardly want a passion sandwich from the guy.

bye. Thanks for the entertainment. Let’s move on to players who do want to be here.

I hope it works out for the lad (although not in games against us), but can see it ending in tears if Grealish stays at the club. Emi thrives on the adulation of the fans, but will always be second to 'one of their own' in the eyes of the Villa fans. He also arrives with a great deal of expectation on his shoulders, and needs to hit the ground running or the fans are likely to get on his back.

Let's hope for his sake that it turns out better than the last exile to Villa Park.... the poor boy deserves better than ending up at Ipswich.

Now say how you really feel

In the name of fairness:

As in Italian, this ‘suffered’ is often mis-translated.

It would (likely) be better translated as: 

‘effort, struggle, commitment’

It is a positive meaning indicating something more like ‘giving all of oneself for the cause’

Parma

Suffering Relegation and its immediate after effects .......turning a negative into a positive......Trust in Farke👍

I mean, we did sign him.

We did indeed, but imagine being able to add ready made quality instead of selling once they peak. Onwards and upwards though, lots more Emi’s on the way.

Whilst I appreciate when you are coming from and respect your opinion, I think if you asked most neutrals which team was the better (or indeed the bigger), I think you'd find very few choosing us, be this right or wrong.

So whilst it may not be a 'massive' step up, it's certainly a step up in wages, they had a decent finish in the PL last season and have signed some very good players and look to continue this trend, are historically much bigger than us, and at this stage are more likely to be safe this coming season in terms of both staying up and finishing in a good position than we are, so it IS a step up, even if we'd have preferred it to be to an Athletico or similar instead.

We signed him whilst in the championship. He was certainly ready made quality for the level we were at. 

[Keith Scott 243]

Another example of how wet and gullible fans on this forum are. Wishing a player luck who has walked out on us to join Aston Villa! Embarrassing. Empty meaningless words from Buendia. Hope he fails miserably at Villa and they get relegated.

Emi, and before Wes and Hucks!!!

Just think moment how lucky we have been as Norwich City fans. How bl**dy lucky. 

Will be looking out for him in the future of course. A whole queue of new players in the Premier League all ex-Norwich all out to try and so well against us! Who would have predicted it.

Time for new Emi's, Madders  and Hucks.

 

Ps. Needed to say this as the perfect antidote to big Keith.

Bit like the vaccine effect😅

It probably means “suffered” as in getting relegated . 
From the Spanish . To suffer .

I wish him luck, the amazing football played has been strongly contributed to by him. I hope he has a great career and I will continue to enjoy watching his style. However, I don't get this letter b*llocks? If he'd moved to club playing in european competitions, I would see it as an offer he couldn't refuse. I even understand why he wants to leave to join Villa but don't bullsh*t me with a letter saying how much you like it and then leave for - an admittedly bigger team but - not such a big jump forwards.

Hope he goes on to great things - but not really with Villa, which is a puzzling choice imo.

Despite trying my best to not be an 'rsehole, I will definitely NOT be able to resist the potential schadenfreude of "Aston Villa getting relegated, whilst we stay up" - hugely unlikely as that scenario is.

My thoughts exactly.

I hope that statement proves how deserving of a rousing welcome EMI deserves on his next and every visit to Carrow Road.

Anybody dumb enough to boo him shows a total lack of disrespect to his efforts over the past three years.

I will be too busy supporting my team.. will leave you to clap the opposition.

[DraytonBoy 142]

I'm not 100% sure he chose Villa, more that they offered City the better package than Arsenal, for example they were willingly to add a 10% sell-on clause which Arsenal refused. Webber and co therefore did what they are paid to do and got the best deal for the club for a player who clearly wanted to leave.

 

[Wardogz 72]

Most gifted Norwich player I've seen, will miss him. I hope he does well at Villa.

[daly 500]

Bring back the 50’s 60’s when we had loyalty in the game. Now agents rule the game

[GJP 79]

It's been a pleasure what him play for us. 

 

Hard to think of a more naturally talented and skillful player in a Norwich shirt, particularly when that ability is combined with his tenacity and work ethic.

 

I still get the feeling not everyone realises quite how good he is (although maybe that's bitterness he's left) but for a lot of us he's the best player we've ever seen play for the club - whether we realise it or not.

[Miss Demeanor 67]

And he's leaving to go and live in the West Midlands! Feel for the family, hope they don't suffer too much!

By big, he of course means stature. We're going to be a side full of 6'5 monsters next season.

Who how plays for Villa. He wanted to leave... Not interested. Want to see the players we bring in not someone that doesn't care about my club. I support players that play in Yellow and Green only. 

Of course he cares!!!! He’s earning £80k a week now…. Absolutely no way you would turn that down… 

How could you not be interested in how our players careers progress, especially ones that we’ve helped develop and that have had such an impact…. 
 

As a football fan, can’t wait to see him play again!

You’ll see, if Norwich don’t spend a third or more of the Emi fee on new players I’ll eat my hat.

Actually (and I don't believe I'm about to say this) I agree with Kenny Foggo.

Couldn't give a flying monkeys what Emi does from here, really. Massive success, or massive flop, I'm more interested in those playing for my club.
