Yobocop 1,099 Posted August 11, 2012 hmmm unproven talent much the same as Dani PachecoOnly a good signing to those who live in the world of Football Manager and who like fancy names...however he did do well on loan at Feyernoord last season, but we are talking about the same league where Kezman scored all those goals before flopping at Chelsea.... I guess we''ll just have to wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,660 Posted August 11, 2012 Not exactly unproven, surely - playing and scoring a load of goals last season for Feyenoord is much more than Dani P has done, for starters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] Yes, but we are also talking about the same league where players like Dirk Kuyt, Robin Van Persie, Park Ji Sung etc have thrived in the Premier League. Put it this way, The Dutch League is on par/if not better than the quality of the Championship (where most of our squad is from!), so there is no reason why he couldnt be a success. Besides, Guidetti has experience of English football with Man City and Burnley so wouldnt really need to adapt to a different style of play. Just the type of player we need in my opinion.

BroadstairsR 2,173 Posted August 11, 2012 Agreed, I watched alot not so long ago. far more technique/skill than in the rustic Championship. In fact, a lot mor skill on show than in most Prem. games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn''t explain my point greatly. What I was hinting, is that the Dutch League is not considered an ''elite'' league due to the lack of quality/competitiveness outside the top 4 teams - Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord and Twente. Thus, most championship teams would give the rest a good game. That is not to say quality footballers don''t play in the league. 20 goals in 23 games is good at whatever division you look at.

Budapest Canary 152 Posted August 11, 2012 Although I don"t know much about the details of Guidetti contract but PSV is not renown to sell their star players on the cheap. Last season they sold one of their fans" favourites, winger Dzsudzsak, for over 10m to a Russian club. So unless JG"s contract is not about to run out, he might have a big price tag on him.

Budapest Canary 152 Posted August 11, 2012 I stand corrected, should have done my researches. :) As a loan, perhaps? I can"t see us buying a 20-year old for the price Man City would probably sell, although he seems to be a hot prospect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,660 Posted August 11, 2012 The rumours were that he was headed on loan, possibly to Sunderland or any one of several others, but I imagine most of us would be fairly happy if he came Norwich''s way to add to our current goal threat...I guess we''ll wait and see, it is only a vague rumour as yet.

I am a Banana 0 Posted August 11, 2012 PLEASE BE TRUE! I''ve been adding his name to every striker thread going! Just the player we need! Although some Man City fans want him to be given a chance in their 1st team/cup games!!This season Loan, with a £3m buy clause if we stay up. and a further £1m if we stay up again and £1m if he scores 10! - Something like that would be nice!12/13 - Loan13/14 - Buy for £3m.

NCFCPaul 0 Posted August 14, 2012 Most tweets on there appear to be linking him with a return to Feyenoord. Most of them are certainly more credible than @fakerumours.As nice as it would be i dont think it will happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,173 Posted August 14, 2012 Please. It would be a masterstroke by CH and dispel a lot of my fears about him being a bit over-defensive next season. We''ll know the answer to both these questions after Saturday although I feel that he''s got enough nous to be more expansive for home games. Guidetti is a bit of class and many Man. City fans want him kept on, and they exist in a sweet shop environment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
