6 month loan to a prem club then bring him back in January.

Agreed. Top picks for me are as follows:

Swansea
Wigan
Fulham
Bolton
New 3.

Is it just me or are we said to be after vertonghen from ajax because we think he is an improvement on are team? cos as far as i remember Guidetti scored a hat trick against him or is my maths slightly off?

He clumsily gave away an absolutely dreadful pen in that game if I remember rightly.

He's a quality footballer rather than a quality defender imo.

As long as he starts every week. Perhaps Bolton if they stay up? They need a goalscorer

A lot to play out beforehand but I could see Newcastle being a realistic option.

They should play in Europe, whether Europa or Champions League so plenty of games and if Ba activates his contract clause then they may be after a new striker. Sure he'd be behind Cisse, while at Swansea he might be the main man, but he'd still get quite a lot of games as he'd come in before Best or Ameobi I'd think.

I found this on twitter today:

"Apparently John Guidetti will go to Swansea on loan next season, this is according to John van Zweden (Swansea director) on Dutch TV"

"Interesting that right now in The Hague area, TV West, the message is that # Guidetti goes to Swansea. Have a strong bond that 2 clubs" (in dutch)

So it looks like he will go on loan next season, but probably depends on what strikers City will have next year.
