Ridiculous price. We could have got him on a free last year if we were really interested. I hope we don't sign him at that price because it suggests he'd be our main striker next season which would spell trouble.
Not necessarily, we bought Eder for £5m and recouped that so could be seen as an option along with Paloschi
Gomis to leave then we get a Wilf-type £12m player in?
I'd be amazed if we spent £20m on two strikers, mate. Not when we need about three other starting quality players. We already spunked £8m on an "option" in Paloschi.
We'd be better off with borja baston if we are in for him .
We'd possibly be better off with Lucrezia Borgia than Guidetti
Although De Bruyne left the UK, went to Germany and has returned a far better player and cost somewhere in the region of £64 million if my memory serves. Think he left Chelsea on a free as well. At £7mill though, I do feel Jenkins and our sly, deceitful board would ensure he's our main striker, no matter what they say publically.
If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious.
File along with Hal robson Kanu, James Chester, Bruno mango et al.
Players who've failed are not what we need. It may have worked in leagues 1 and 2 and maybe the championship but it won't work In the Premier. We just about got away with it this season. I doubt we will again.
Hopefully it's just paper talk to take the scent of our real targets, whomever they maybe.
He scored 20 in 23 games for Feyernoord a few seasons ago which is an average that tops the like of Bony and Suarez. Maybe he just needs the right club. I wouldn't class him as failure maybe just a victim of man city that is starting to come good again.

Bony had done it in the Czech Republic before he went and played in holland. His record across different leagues was up there.
Perhaps saying Guidetti has failed is the wrong thing to say but the point is he's not developed to his full potential. I'm not sure he ever will as the game is littered with those prodigies that just never live up their initial potential. It is what it is and he s probably championship at best.
Like I said earlier probably paper/agent talk to get a move or pay rise for their client.
I see he's playing alongside Iago Aspas at Celta Vigo. If we take Aspas as well it really would be a blast from the past. i haven't really seen enough of Guidetti to judge to be honest. Someone on the forum was really singing his praises a few years ago.
If you can fill the unforgiving minute.
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Wouldn't be against signing him like many on here. We were lucky to get a player of Bony's calibre a few seasons ago. It's hard to get a striker who has 20+ goals a season. I can't see us getting him back either. Pep will want a look at him. And they'd want to recoup a lot of that 28m they spent on him. Plus we couldn't compete with his wages now. The team needs investment all over, we're not gonna be spunking £15m on a striker.

Bony came here because we were willing to let him go after a year, and we were in the Europa cup. It went it bit awry when Laudrup wouldn't play him, and he should have left in the summer, which is why we got Gomis in as his replacement, but he got the move away he wanted in the end.
Why would Bony want to come back? Money? No. Play every week? Possibly, but if he leaves Man City, I'd think he be more likely to go a top club in Europe.

You're probably right, I'm just trying to put a positive spin on it just in case this is true. To be honest I don't think we'll see another striker until either gomis or ayew are sold. We've spent quite a bit on paloschi as well and hopefully he'll feature more once Guidolon has got us playing the way he wants.
Really hope this isn't true. We've just got rid of one waste of money forward who had a mediocre scoring record before he came to us. This guy did have a really good season on loan at Feyenoord one year, apart from that, I don't think he's hit double figures. 8 was his grand haul in a season at Celtic. While I agree some players just need to find the right ckub, I certainly wouldn't be spunking 7 and a half mill to find out whether it's our club. I'd need something more cast iron for that dosh
Scored last night, poor defending Ash, don't blame him for not putting his body on the line in a friendly
Body on the line? He just let a bulky bustling bloke just run past him and made no attempt at all to defend. It was ridiculous. Let's hope that's his periodic brainfart done with now.
