Plain Speaking said:IMO we should do what the rags did with Wellbeck loan him to a PL side. Perhaps one of the newly promoted teams?
There will always be speculation whether he can play at the highest level unless he plays regular first team football in a top league.

Although he is talented, but need recover first and improve more.
I love Guidetti in City
I really looking forward to wait John Guidetti be our first team someday.

Whatever you do, don't hold your breath. There's more chance of Adebayor becoming a regular than John. If we can get 4 - 6 £mill , let's cash in. Sadly, he's not good enough for a a side with Prem & Champs League aspirations IMO. Wish him all the best though.

How can you write him off so early !

I've watched him play in the flesh many times. He's a very decent player, but is he anywhere at all near the level of our current four ? In my opinion, no and never will be. I'd love to be proved wrong but I doubt It.
Feyenoord coach Ronald Koeman believes that the sky's the limit for Manchester City starlet John Guidetti.
The Sweden international impressed during his one-year loan spell at Feyenoord in the 2011-12 campaign, and Koeman had nothing but praise for the youngster.
"I think that John can be as good as Zlatan Ibrahimovic," Koeman said to Voetbal International.
"I've coached them both. Zlatan struggled a lot more than John to find his way in Netherlands. John is on the same level as players such as Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart at that age.
"That's great for a striker, because it's a very difficult position.
"He arrived at the club and immediately adapted to his new surroundings, even though I don't think he had ever played in a formation with three attackers before.
"If you're capable of that at the age of 19, and can be this important for a team, you're going to become a big player. Simple as that."
Guidetti netted 20 goals in 23 Eredivisie appearances in 2011-12.

Naah its not that simple. Guidetti will never be a Van persie. he simply doesnt have anywhere the level of technique Van persie showed at Feyenoord. RVP was a left winger or attacking midfielder in holland and was well known to be one of their most skilful players, but also troubled kid who alot of people thought would waste his talent due to attitude. Also when you are talking about 19-20 year olds, dont look at just stats. Some of these players are physically still growing and some develop later physically.WNRH said:If he was a Feyenoord player full time and we we're linked with him on goal.com for £10m and the same club's were interested in him as they are now, the same people who are saying he won't be good enough for us would be wanking over him as the next best thing.
The same people will want us to sign RVP even though Guidetti in the same league outperformed him at the same age.
Those same people will reply to the above by saying "well RVP has scored 30 goals last season, has John Guidetti" which is pretty stupid considering he won't be given a chance to see if he could or not.
Same views everytime, getting boring now.

They are goalscorers. Lionel Messi and Alan Shearer are two different types of skilled players but both have been world class goalscorers.
Dzeko isn't technically skilled yet still scored 17 goals in our side last year. If Guidetti replaces Dzeko in the future and scores a similar amount of goals then we will have saved £25m on someone who can do that, but we will never know until he is given a chance. Will he get ahead of our four strikers now? No, he needs to go to a better league and prove he can do it there as well and if he does do it in say Seria A or even the Premier League then he HAS to be given a chance here.
Welbeck scored 6 goals for Sunderland when he was on loan there, i would put alot of money on Guidetti matching that if he was at Sunderland.
best option is to loan him out to a PL team, but doesnt he has1 year left on his contract?cmdub said:think it would be silly to let him leave without giving him a chance somewhere be it on loan our as a 4th or 5th striker
