Newcastle United Transfers: 5 Strikers Toon Should Buy Instead of Andy Carroll

1. John Guidetti

John Guidetti is a 20 year old Swedish international currently on the books at Manchester City. Guidetti signed for the Manchester club back in 2008 and has had great success with the youth academy. Last season he went out on loan to the Dutch club Feyenoord. Here he scored an incredible 20 goals and 8 assists, in only 23 appearances for the Eredivisie club. Man City are well aware of the youngsters talent, and have ear-marked him for the future. But Guidetti has warned the reigning champs that he does not want to stick around and just play reserve-team football. Guidetti's agent obviously thinks the world of him saying, "He is the best under-21 striker in Europe, he played well in a league where champions like Van Nistelrooy and Van Basten found their limelight." Although anything an agent says has to be taken with a grain of salt. Guidetti's performance last season speaks for it self. It is in my opinion that he would strive at Newcastle and would be a welcome addition to the squad. With money-bags City not needing to sell players, especially ones with such talent as Guidetti. A loan deal could and should be struck for the Sweedish youngster. Rumours are that Lazio are thinking the same with an offer of a loan this season, with Guidetti keen on a move to Serie A. But a loan deal to a fellow Premier League club could persuade Guidetti and the City management to allow him to move to the North East.
