Good luck Elmo. Best wishes, thanks for being a decent and honest player.

My endearing memory of Elmo was giving it to the noses at Stans after the Grealish assault game.

Thanks for all your efforts! Hope he gets a nice retirement contract, somewhere warm!

When we signed him from Hull, I was a bit underwhelmed, thinking he was an aging winger.

However, he did a great job for us in the Championship at RB and was still useful in the top flight. Arguably the best crosser we had too and had surprisingly good energy.

Wish him all the best.

All the best Elmo!

That's brilliant, he deserves a pay as you play contract at Camp Nou.

I think the clue is that they can’t even spell the word Barcelona

Thank you Elmo and all the best.
You put a bloody good stint in for the club we love.
Happy days at AVFC!

I used to think if Barca could sign an average-Joe like Braithwaite, none of their signings would suprise me especially considering their financial situation?

Then, I saw Braithwaite play against England last night (and during the tournament, generally), and thought he was great. Selfless hold-up play and gave Maguire and Stones plenty to think about.

I thought the same, the first time I'd ever noticed him he was coming off the bench for Middlesbrough when we were pasting them at the Riverside in the promotion season, and then the next time I noticed he was signing for Barcelona!

But he was very good last night, and has the whole tournament, I did think he might be a handy option if Barcelona are offloading, he could play across the front three effectively.

Just looked on the FC Barcalona website and there is no mention of it so it's bullshit.

It's a joke tweet from a Villa fan who has just changed his display name - look at the @ handle and you can see it's @JxmesAVFC2.  He has 43 followers.

Where do FC Barcalona play ? It would be very confusing if they were from Barcelona.
