Transfer Rumours Winter 2025 Transfer Thread

They changed the rules so that you can only spend 60% of any investment on player related expenditure, but there's no limit on what that investment is as far as I can see.

 

Puerta getting a bit ahead of himself. And poor timing from him to be voicing publicly such thoughts about his future.
I saw the article several days ago. Looks like HDM have caught up.
Disappointing from him imo.

 

Yeah but you also see passing back to the goalkeeper for 90 minutes as prime entertainment soooo

 

If the buy-option is triggered then this could end up like Giles all over again. Say we buy him for the reported €3.5 million fee. If he becomes our player but wants to leave in the summer, we’d have to want at least twice that to sell him. Really odd comment by him at this stage of the season.

If the buy-option isn’t yet triggered then this gives Sellés a good reason not to play him for the remaining games for off-the-pitch reasons.

 

100% agree. I don't think we have any exceptional players. Promising as you say yes but none that are there yet

 

I know it’s difficult as we don’t know what division we’re in but if we stay I like to think we’d sign Puerta permanently. Stands out, especially recently, in quite an average team. I think he’d look even better with a stronger 3 in front of him.

 

Yeah it’s quite easy for people to criticise him now for his contributions after an interview like that. But he’s been one of our best under Selles, despite being messed around fairly regularly with the clause

 

I take most articles about City in The Press with a pinch of salt. In this instance with not knowing what division are going to be in, who knows where a number of our players will be next season especially if the worst happens and we are relegated. Likewise I think that Puerta has been one of our better performers recently.

 

Surely its time for the summer thread

Come on olm

 

We have triggered puerta clause

He will be signed on 1st july

 

That can't be true we weren't playing him so that didn't happen

 

Doesnt mean we wont sell him from 2nd july onwards though

 

What like we did with Giles

 

Completely irrelevant?

Just saying the possibility of selling puerta is no different to any other window
Should we wish to or need to

 

Puerta signs.

 

My first post was just more taking the piss of those conspiracy theories of why the world beater Puerta was playing

 

Circus

 

I’ll have atenner on he doesn’t play for us next season

 

Be careful Essexgull doesn't take you up on that.
