John Guidetti is a Celtic player on loan from Man City. He looks an absolutely cracking striker at the moment. Almost digging Celtic out of their hole just now singlehandedly. I'd be interested in him if I was any premier league manager. He looks hungry, enthusiastic, is gaining terrific confidence up north and is a character. Guaranteed superstar.
I had a very vivid dream during the 2013 summer transfer window where I was quizzing Levy about transfers. He told me we would sign Guidetti, so I'm just waiting for that precognition to finally go through
Did you read the whole article? Levy would have to throw some serious money at him by the sounds of it! You think that'll happen? It's only one source but sounds decent!
I've read a few things where we've been linked to him in the last month or so. Doubt it will happen
Levy has never seemed to have a problem throwing big contracts at new staff, you only have to look at the kind of money we were paying AVB to see that.
No different to what we were paying Redknapp or Poch now
Yeah, and it's pretty generous, not to mention the fees he has been willing to pay to get coaching staff in the past. Wasn't there a big pay off to Sevilla for Ramos? Can't imagine that Baldini is on a paupers wage either.
There was a stat recently (12 months or so ago) indicating we were second/third in the PL in terms of agents fees paid (only behind City and Chelsea). Levy's mistakes and lack of patience have been costly to say the least - we could have used the balance on some decent players instead of having virtually 0 net spend in 6-7 years
When it comes to wages we are not bottom of the league (6th I believe), so we do spend money, We have not spent it wisely the last few seasons, that's the issue. Our huge squad is expensive to pay. Imv it should be smaller, with youth providing squad depth. As of now that job is given to highly paid players like Paulinho, Chiriches and Lennon. If we had fewer senior players on the books we could afford a few "special" ones, both in terms of transfer fees and wages.
How is Jack Butland doing these days... Gone off the boil from his initial hype?
Yeah, he's been great for Leverkusen
He's 3rd choice behind Sørensen...
Begovic would be good, Ali Ahamada would be good on a free next season to fight it out with Vorm too but I genuinely don't think Lloris will go!
I would have liked Alex Mccarthy here before his move to QPR
