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.

I think Puerta, as well as a couple of others, are excessively hyped sometimes. He's a good, promising player but people talk as if he's a cut above anything else we've got and I'm not sure I see that.

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
