Guidetti

[Graceyboy]

Why didn't Celtic Apply for an extension to the transfer window to get it complete like Utd and Arsenal did? or does that transfer Fergie time only apply if you have dirty palms?

What does that mean? The opposition in the cup games could be tougher than half of the teams we play in the league. Does this not matter when its a knockout game? Are the cups not as important? He is either good enough to warrant a place in the squad, or he isn't. Personally I don't think he is, and I think 90% of the forum share the same opinion. And the fact he hasn't played since his debut, despite being around the squad for a while, suggests the management agree.

it was a rushed post and I didn't think I would have to spell out every permutation, It means early on cup matches when fringe players usually get a match allowing 1st teamers to have a rest.

The fact that Pellegrini wants to sell him despite being an admirer a few seasons back suggests he wont get any game time and isn't up to the task of getting over his illness. so even back up 4th striker looks to be too much. but it doesn't change the fact that some of the insults and critizism thrown his way is out of order.

Perhaps the hierarchy have a feeling of deja vu as they did with Michael Johnson,so how long do you give someone a chance to prove himself.
Hell if he could hardly get any playing time for Stoke,then its hardly surprising that teams from either the PL or Championship teams are banging on the door to take him off our hands.
Just maybe,the Club sees something differently behind closed doors.Perhaps he`s built up his own hype too much.
Insults and criticism are part of any forums & threads make-up,but I`ve yet to see anything on this thread where people are actually calling him names.
Thicken your skin out as no player is exempt from criticism.

Its not my skin thats getting shit thrown at it.

Im not saying he's good enough at the mo for a 1st team position, but he is good enough for 4th striker and get some time here and there. but frankly thats not what he needs, he needs games week in week out and I still think he could come good, Maybe a loan to the Championship side is the way forward for him.

As I said though, anyone here having a dig at him ( calling him, fat, shite, cheering that he's gone etc etc ) should actually read Paul Lakes book to get a view from a pro footballer with injuries to see the sorts of damage this stuff can have, Its not that he's "just not good enough", He had a full on near career ending event and a lot of people on here seem to be forgetting that fact.

Not that I think any player would stupid enough to venture onto a forum anyway.

Apparently they did. They are awaiting a response from FIFA:

Guidetti speaks:

Manchester City striker John Guidetti has slammed the "chaos" that scuppered his move to Celtic on transfer deadline day.

The Sweden international had been supposed to join Celtic on loan from Manchester City, where he is surplus to requirements. But the paperwork to complete the transfer was not submitted in time, meaning at present it appears as if the deal will not go through.

While the Scottish Premiership authorities have rubber-stamped the late move, international clearance is still lacking as Celtic and Manchester City did not submit the paperwork in time. The ball is now with FIFA, though the Bhoys are confident as the process was started before the deadline it will eventually be ratified.

For Guidetti, left twiddling his thumbs, the situation was one of utter chaos.
"It was total chaos", he told Sport Bladet.

"I went through the whole day without a bite to eat. I was waiting, waiting, waiting.
"It was the middle of the night, there were hundreds of fans at the Celtic stadium. Finally they stopped coming."
Now the striker admits his fate is in FIFA's hands, though he does not feel a return to Manchester City would be the end of the world.
"I hope it is still completed, but otherwise there is nothing to do but return to City.
"Fortunately that's not the worst thing that can happen. It's up to FIFA to decide."

I thought he had gone .
Does that mean he might get a run out in the League Cup .
At least he will leave us at the end of this season .

Looking likely he'll go once Fifa give the nod ... hope to see him get his sharpness back and bang in plenty of goals up there, though I fear he'll never deliver on his early promise, hope to see him forge a decent career for himself at least ...

Have to echo grunges sentiments on this topic. The lad has been through a horrendous illness that may have wrecked his ability to fulfil his great potential as a footballer. I see no need for some of the negative comment toward a player who, despite his troubles, has always seemed to be a positive and confident character, while working his socks off trying to rebuild his career .... so what if he's not going to make it here, thats no reason to behave like spoiled brats in regard to a young player who has had a hard time of it. This entitled, dismissive attitude toward young players, for the heinous crime of not being able to make the grade at one of the top ten club sides in the world is pretty pathetic.

 

[George Hannah]

so Guidetti's move scuppered by City incompetence - there's a shock

 

[moomba]

If he was still registered to Stoke he wouldnt have been able to play for us in the pre season.

Sounds like bollocks to me.
