<p>“Boni could help the team very well. He has qualities that not many players have. </p>
<p>“It would be a bonus for us if he were there. He would definitely do the team good. </p>

<p>“I wish him all hearted that this will work and that he will be able to finish the season positively,” Puertas concluded.</p>
