John Guidetti

[Hekla]

How about Guidetti and Rhodes together?

Ooo suit you sir!

If that happens I will eat one of my toes!

That would literally be too good to be true!!

John Guidetti's proposed loan move from Manchester City to Sunderland could be in jeopardy because the 20-year-old Swedish striker is struggling to shake off a virus.

Full story: Daily Mail

Doubt we will be able to get him if we are in competition with Sunderland anyway

If Guidetti is available at £6m then we should be moving straight in for that.

[andyroversmad]

If we got £6M to spend on Rhodes why not on Guidetti ?

Never seen him play but from his video clips he looks class

[Torgeir]

I doubt he would want to make the drop down to the Championship, but we should atleast try and make a firm offer for him and see how it goes. I'd rather we sign Guidetti than Rhodes.

[Dunnfc]

Guidetti every time over Rhodes. Good to see some ambition to sign players tbh as long as its not false.

[Lathund]

If he's indeed available for £6m we should definitely go for him rather than Rhodes. People can do silly things like bring up Kezman and Alves all they want, but 20 goals and 8 assists in 23 games in Holland is a damn good record for an on-loan 19 year old with almost no previous experience of senior football.

I don't see him dropping down a division though. Nor do I see us actually paying £6m for a player.

[Hughesy]

Not convinced we have £6m hard cash upfront....hence the haggling with Huddersfield - i.e. £3m + £2m, £4m + £2m, and now £5m + £1m.

[dwayne cage]

I agree I don't think we do have 6m straight up. I think City would accept a smaller bid maybe 4m if we tried, after all it's not like money is a thing that matters to them anyway. Their owner's probably wipe their backsides with a million every day haha

He's definitely close to Siena, according to many in Italy.

miller?

[The Rover of Finland]

Isn´t he still at City? What a waste of talent. Could we still loan him, not aware when that option end. I know, the clown said the squad is ready.

Injured! as of last week, well that is when I asked Nicko if he thought he would be loaned out.

[Clitherover]

Man City have put him up for loan and we're interested again apparently...

The journalists name ''Failsworth'' doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

[bluebruce]

How would we possibly be interested again? Rhodes and Gomes firing them in, Kazim Richards and Best (eventually) in the wings. Rochina, Formica and Dunn can all play behind the striker. We can probably recall Goodwillie. There's absolutely no need for another striker. There IS a dire, dire need for defensive reinforcements, but we've said we don't even want those.

Probably true then
