John Guidetti

Do we have some kind of link or association with man city? Razak, Assulin, Bridge and this fella(assuming there's any truth in the rumour. Or is it just coincidence?

David Burke.

David Burke was elite scout for man city.

This would be a Vicente sized coup if we could get him. A years rehabilitation with us getting him ready for Man City next season. He could be a goal-a-game player in the Championship & I like the fact he has some Brazilian blood. Please Burke, make this happen!

Thanks for bringing that second thread back up, I had forgotten about one of my favourite posts of all time on NSC:

thanks, i was really hoping to find out what the residents of peacehaven thought on this matter

This would be a great signing! We currently have a very solid base for a championship team that with more playing time will improve, but a signing like Guidetti, plus maybe an attacking midfielder, would turn us into promotion contenders! Make it happen Burke & Bloom!

I wouldn't go that far. Vicente was the Juan Mata or David Silva of his heyday (he probably had a massive influence on their early careers when he was top boy at Valencia and they were both coming through), like actually WORLD class, a £30-40 million player. I doubt we will see another coup like that until we are (if we ever do) challenging for top six.
Not that Guidetti wouldn't be a massive signing, he definitely would be. He and Ulloa up top would be insane.

Two of the movers and shakers in the Citeh hierarchy are both ex Barca and so would be very familiar with Oscar. May help tip the balance in our favour with Guidetti, who knows...??

33 pace for Hawkins is very generous!

 

[Albumen]

So Iago Falque and Guidetti and we're done?

Where did you hear this one?

It makes so much sense (so it probably wont happen)

Hah I know right! I just got him in a pack on Fifa, and it made me think about where we've come from... Hopefully my avatar will remind any who need reminding!

 

[Marshy]

in my opinion, no chance

A season long loan for John Guidetti is being discussed with Manchester City.

His agent, Per Jonsson, was asked if the player would consider a loan to a Championship club considering the level of club he has played for in recent seasons. Guidetti was said to be interested in the move and would relish the chance for first team experience in England.

Having had this confirmed, the club then approached Manchester City with a formal written enquiry as to the player's availability. The response denied the opportunity of a permanent transfer but said that a season long loan would be possible if the loan fee of £475k was paid and a 'substantial contribution towards the player's salary' was offered.

This information was passed onto me recently by Per Jonsson, the player's agent

Looks like there's a battle.

Looks like there's a battle.

And also rules us out I would think

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I hate the fact that Forest's nasty little manager has all this cash to spend.

 

[Bladders]

Forest don't seemed too concerned about FFP by the looks of it.

Looks like there's a battle.

Judging by the website that rumour has come from I'd take it with a pinch of salt, not that I think he's coming here for one minute.

Looks like there's a battle.

Wasn't Guidetti on bench last night for Man City. Don't they have to name a squad of 25? If this is the case and he was on the bench I guess it makes the chances of getting him on loan less likely, shame.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

£475k is small change if it gets you promoted up with the big boys !!
Worthwhile punt I would say

 

[salfordseagull]

Looks like there's a battle.

Assuming we're prepared to meet the financials I can only see one winner of that particular battle.

Oscar with his pedigree and reputation for developing young players whilst playing attacking football v a whining bitter Scotsman with a track record of playing 'robust' football.

No brainer really, lets hope we've got the cash and Swedish Johnny sees sense!
