Thanks. FIFA World Rankings are a joke, and that's far from perfect, but I guess it's something.

disagree, wales are clearly the 9th best team in the world

Also basically confirmed it was because he was immediately homesick. Ah well.

Also that he had no chance of getting a work permit as well.

Can't argue that logic. I'm off to put 10k on Wales to win the Euros.

.....Bournmouth reported to be taking him. If true it's unlikely he was homesick.

The problem with a lot of players playing in South America is fitness. Maybe Roberto seen that it would take him a long time to get up to fitness?

If Bournemouth have taken him, surely there is still work permit issues?

Apparently has an Italian passport so work permit wouldn't have been an issue.

....I'm sure we could've worked on his fitness. It sounds like Bournmouth are taking him on the same type of loan deal we had in place. I thought home sickness would be the reason for him leaving.
