First of all I´d like to apologise for not to be able to say good bye in our stadium as we all would have liked, but what happened on Sunday was very moving that “King Carlos Day” really touched me, more than I expected. I want to thank all the supporters, the ones at Carrow Road and also to the ones that couldn’t´t make it to the game; for all the support I have received from the beginning. I only have good memories, what I have lived has been spectacular. From an emotional point of view to feel the support from the stand is very important, in this case the Villa supporters always have been phenomenal at home and even more away from home. And they always have been there backing us in difficult moments, especially these last few games.
I´d like to extend my thanks and love to all the employees and coaching staff at the club. Thanks for the confidence put on me and for the way I have been treated these four years. A special mention for all my team mates in the changing room where I arrived as a stranger, and I am leaving taking a piece of each of them with me; I think I am leaving being a better person and with lots of friend.
Thank you so much for everything I will never forget Birmingham or Aston Villa. Wherever I am, I will always be a Villa supporter.
