“Hello, little brothers, how are you crazy people? Brother, I’m dead, I was here in Nantes doing things, things, things, things and things, and it never stops, it never stops, it never stops. I’m here on a plane that looks like it’s about to fall apart, and I’m going to Cardiff, crazy, tomorrow we already start, and in the afternoon we start training, boys, in my new team… Let’s see what happens, so, how are you brothers and sisters, all right? If in an hour and a half you have no news from me, I don’t know if they are going to send someone to look for me because they cannot find me, but you know … Dad, how scared am I!”

I have no words.

I don't understand why a footballer worth 15m is flying in a piece of crap

That's quite prophetic, he talks about the measures he has for if (sounds like when) the plane crashes in the sea and says he knows of 11 pilots in the last 6 years who have died flying these planes...

I can barely understand why he's flying in it but apparently the journey out was bad and he didn't like the plane, then leaving the plane had something like 4 aborted take offs due to some problem. After one problem you would just say no thanks, I'm out, screw you mate. Actually if I didn't enjoy the flight and felt it was dodgy I would have walked home before getting back on the plane at all, after it had a couple problems getting off the ground at all I'd prefer to end up arrested for putting the pilot in a headlock than letting him take off with me in the plane.

It was already tragic news but the fact it’s looking like it could have easily been avoided is even worse.

Single turbo prop engine airplanes are a nope from me.

I know it's hindsight...but would you want to be flown anywhere at night in this kind of aircraft by a part time pilot and gas engineer?

I agree, just crazy.

£15 million exchanges hands, then he goes missing days later. There was a 2nd guy flying with Emiliano, so I call this suspicious. What a horrible way to die though, in the sea in winter. RIP dude.

Transfers are normally paid out of a period of time rather than a lump sum. Not sure where the benefit is in killing the player.

Pawnless Endgame · 23 Jan 2019 at 18:17

Okies I didn't know that Janesy. I'll take back what I said.

Kerplunk · 23 Jan 2019 at 22:02

So sad this, guy didn't stand a chance.

robfosters · 24 Jan 2019 at 15:39

Does anyone know how long it is before these two guys will be declared legally dead? I know some missing people have been gone for years before being declared dead, I just didn’t know if it was a shorter period when a major incident and clear cause of possible death has obviously taken place, rather than someone who has just vanished like maddie for example.

Seriously sad news.. I actually didn't comprehend what I was reading yesterday.

Sod the transfer fee.. the clubs will be insured.. Thoughts go out to his family.

A decision's been taken to abandon the search with the police stating that chances of finding them alive were extremely remote.

Are they going to continue the search for the wreckage? You'd have thought they'd want to retrieve the black box

Not sure. You'd imagine so but I guess they're not going to commit significant resources on it now they believe finding them alive is almost impossible.
