Spanish notice,
Uche and Fabio Silva bid farewell with a copy-and-paste letter from their teams and fans.
In the always hectic summer transfer market, emotions often run high.
There are tears, thanks, tributes, and of course, goodbyes . However, the last few days of the transfer window have left us with a curious fact that has generated both surprise and criticism.
Two players from two different clubs and two different leagues have literally used the same farewell card.
These are Uche, a former Getafe CF player, and Fabio Silva, the promising Portuguese striker who used to play for Wolves. Both players announced their departures from their respective clubs in the last few hours, Uche to Crystal Palace and Silva to Borussia Dortmund. What caught the attention wasn't just their destination, but also the message they shared with their fans, as it was exactly the same, word for word.
The letter is written in English and includes the typical thanks to teammates, coaches, staff, and fans. A neat, elegant, and generic message. What's curious, and controversial, is that the letter is not only identical in form but also in substance.
Without any specific reference to the club, city, teammates, or moments experienced, the farewell could have been from anyone to anyone. In fact, it was. The reaction on social media was swift, with many criticizing the depersonalization of the farewell.
Comments on social media have ranged from mockery to outrage.
Uche, a blue soap opera with a London finale
Uche's case had been one of the summer's soap operas in La Liga. With several teams chasing him, including Wolverhampton,
the Nigerian finally ended up at Crystal Palace after rejecting a final offer from Wolves . The deal was key to easing Getafe's financial situation, which urgently needed to make money to comply with Financial Fair Play and be able to register its signings.

Fabio Silva, for his part, had been tracked by several major European clubs. The Portuguese, who arrived in England as a promising youngster, sparked interest from clubs such as Milan, Atlético Madrid, and Leipzig.
Ultimately, it was Borussia Dortmund who won the race to sign him.
A soulless farewell
The most striking aspect of this case is that, despite the impersonal nature of the message, there is no connection between the agencies representing the two players.
This suggests that it may be a template circulating as a kind of standard format among certain football circles or community managers, or a farewell generated by artificial intelligence.
