What’s slightly baffling is that Emilio flew into Cardiff from Nantes on Friday to sign his contract and complete his medical On an Eclipse 500 , a state of the art light twin jet operated by these guys https://www.channeljets.com ,a proper commercialy licensed air taxi firm operating on a commercial air operators certificate.

It does beg the question how was he allowed to fly back to Cardiff on Monday night on a single engine aircraft albieit a very high spec one , at night , over water and in the middle of winter , and on a privately owned and operated aircraft rather than a commercial operator and was this sanctioned by the club or was it left down to the player to make his own travel arrangements ?

It does seem a bizarre way to look after your record £15m signing.
Very odd.....why not use same firm?
