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.
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.
Completely irrelevant? Just saying the possibility of selling puerta is no different to any other window Should we wish to or need to
My first post was just more taking the piss of those conspiracy theories of why the world beater Puerta was playing
Be careful Essexgull doesn't take you up on that. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
