David Villa is the only striker that I can see us going for and getting in the time that's left hopefully the new Executives that are from Barca left on good terms and can call in a few favours
If we are left with Tevez , Dzeko and Aguero who are misfiring at the min what will happen if one gets injured we have no cover and with JG still a few months away surely it's shortsighted not to get another forward in?
Who ever the club target it's going to cost but if we look back at the end of the season and we've possibly missed out on the title by a few points by not spending when we had the chance how much revenue will the club lose then ?
I don't know just doesn't make any sense to me. But what do I know ?Hopefully the people who make those decisions are a lot smarter than me

Mike Guidetti has said to Swedish media that John will be 4th striker

if that is the case then IMO its a bad call. its not that i don't rate the lad, TBH i think he's is going to be a real star and hoped he had had more game time before now but due to his illness its not been, but to ask him to step up and really fill that position having played a hand full of games after so long out is a big risk, don't doubt he can do it but is now the time?Paddys Goose said:Mike Guidetti has said to Swedish media that John will be 4th striker

He'll be fine once he gets back into shape, in four weeks or something.
Being a fourth striker for us would mean he'd get a few minuted now and then, and likely never being a starter.
Next season will be of paramount importance for John's career.

i know what your saying and agree its fine for a few minutes here and there but ...... i honestly think we need someone who can really push/aid the others now for a starting birth(sp), but maybe i'm dreaming of such a signing, here's hoping :(Matt the Giant said:bojinov29 said:if that is the case then IMO its a bad call. its not that i don't rate the lad, TBH i think he's is going to be a real star and hoped he had had more game time before now but due to his illness its not been, but to ask him to step up and really fill that position having played a hand full of games after so long out is a big risk, don't doubt he can do it but is now the time?Paddys Goose said:Mike Guidetti has said to Swedish media that John will be 4th striker

If Guidetti had no links with us already and we went out to sign him off the back of his 23 goals for Feyenoord in the Dutch league to fill our 4th choice striker role he would probably fit into the bracket where most would be happy. IMO there is a reluctance by some to trust this lad just because he is not "new"

Its more the 'has played 45 minutes of football in 10 months' that concerns people.
We can't expect too much from him this year, often get a lot if niggly injuries after a long stretch out which would leave us short.
Longer term I have no problem with him provided the coaching staff think he's up to the job.

Couldn't agree more. If Guidetti is going to make it with us, this is the chance he needs.

Sign Villa on a 2/3 year contract and give Guidetti a nice loan move to a mid table prem team see how he does.
