This summer transfer window isn’t only heated by blockbuster deals but also by an unexpected “twist” on social media: Fabio Silva and Christantaus Uche have made fans laugh after their farewell posts to their former clubs turned out to be identical word-for-word.
Fabio Silva has just left Wolverhampton in search of a new challenge, while Christantaus Uche bid farewell to Getafe before joining Crystal Palace. Both players shared heartfelt messages thanking their clubs, coaches, teammates, and fans. But what caught everyone’s eye was that the content of the two posts matched perfectly—from wording, structure, to expressions of emotion. The only difference: Silva mentioned Wolves, while Uche swapped in Getafe.
This quickly set social media ablaze. Many fans jokingly commented that “this must be the official farewell template for footballers,” or that “there’s probably a service that writes pre-made goodbye letters for players to copy-paste.” Others wondered whether it was just a wild coincidence, or if one had borrowed inspiration from the other’s post.
Regardless, both players received support from fans, since their messages carried the same genuine intent: gratitude for their former clubs and determination to embrace a new chapter in their careers.
Still, after this incident, Fabio Silva and Christantaus Uche may want to be a little more careful when posting personal reflections online—because today’s fans scrutinize every word, and one copy-paste slip-up can quickly turn into a global talking point.
