DutchBorderer Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Quote A light plane with new Premier League footballer Emiliano Sala on board has disappeared in the English Channel while travelling from France to Wales. The 28-year-old Argentine was on his way to meet his new colleagues at Cardiff City after signing for the club last week in a £15 million deal. He was travelling back to Wales from Nantes in Brittany after signing with the Welsh club. There were "genuine concerns" for his safety today after the Piper Malibu plane registration PA 46 went off radar screens close to the Channel Islands. https://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/46960095 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, didn't see that as I never check the Premier League thread. Figured it was worth a thread (and in all honesty that might be better considering the level of patter going on). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Emiliano Sala and the Missing Plane is either a Texan folk band, or a very good Tintin adventure. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking when I clicked the thread that it sounded like the name of a TinTin adventure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that, at such transfer sums, some form of insurance must be involved. Interesting footnote to the sad overall story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Same plane he took for his Cardiff to Nantes flight. Allegedly he told one of his Nantes teammates that the 1st flight was very bumpy and that he feared for his safety for the return back to Cardiff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Just heard a bizarre Whatsapp audio message from Sala sent to family and friends in Argentina during the flight. I can't find a transcript of it anywhere but it started with, "I'm dead", followed by him sounding pissed off about things then went on about the plane falling apart and people having to come searching for him as if he was resigned to crashing. He finished by saying "I'm scared, dad". Eery as f**k. Apparently the plane was owned by the exceptionally unlikeable football agent, Willie McKay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
