Oh, wait the minute, so If Emo said publically that he wanted to leave, (perhaps he was flat out rejected by privately?) that makes him disrespect the fans and the club.
So lets look around to see, Rooney said he wanted to leave , traitor, Rio Ferdinand said he wanted to leave, traitor, Essien wants to leave, traitor, Baptista wants to leave, traitor, oh damn .. the list is getting long. It seems like that everyone on the transfer market these days are damn traitors. OR .. holdon .. could this be how the football world operates?? If you are really unhappy about staying in one club, and you get rejected when you wanted to leave, the only option is go to the media and tell the whole world.
The point is, I don't think Emerson is a traitor, he is doing simply what every other player does when he doesn't want to be part of the team and if really wanted to be a traitor, he could've just sat out his contract and leave Roma with nothing.
