BOF Posted January 16, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2014 ThisYoung Manchester City star John Guidetti has spoken for the first time about the mystery virus that threatened to wreck his career.The Sweden striker enjoyed a sensational time on loan at Feyenoord last season, with 20 goals in 23 games, and was being tipped to partner Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Euro 2012 – before a problem with his central nervous system left him with paralysis of his right leg.City’s belief that Guidetti will make a full recovery was illustrated last week when they handed him a new three-year contract, with Feyenoord, Newcastle, Sunderland and Galatasaray all interested too.But the 20-year-old Stockholm-born forward says he’s been to hell and back. “I ate a bit of chicken at my girlfriend’s birthday party, but it led to food poisoning,” explained Guidetti.“It got worse when the illness led to a rare virus which badly affected my nervous system.“The day after playing a game for Feyenoord I couldn’t even stand on my right leg. I just fell to the ground. The physio told me to go and do a bit of easy cycling on the stationary bike, but I couldn’t even do that.“I was taken to the University Hospital in Rotterdam and, when Man City’s club doctor, Philip Batty, turned up on my bedside I realised I was in serious danger.“A professor in the hospital where I was being treated said my career was hanging by a very thin thread. I burst into tears. I saw my whole future crashing down.“I wanted to win the Dutch title with Feyenoord, which was still possible at the time. I wanted to star for Sweden in the Euros.“And most of all I wanted to break into the first team at Man City, which I would definitely have done if I had not picked up the virus.“But I just had no power in my right leg. They sent me to a clinic in Italy and all I could do was an exercise to help me get out of a chair. More than that I just couldn’t do.“One minute I was in heaven, the next in hell. I could not believe it.”Guidetti joined City as a 16-year-old – despite being courted by a host of top Italian clubs like Inter Milan, Roma and Lazio when he burst onto the scene with Swedish minnows Brommapojkarna.He was handed his debut by Roberto Mancini in a League Cup tie at West Brom, but is still waiting for his first taste of the Premier League, after loan spells at Burnley and then Feyenoord.His impact in Holland earned him his first Sweden cap, and he looked certain to go to the Euros before illness struck with a vengeance.After six months of rest and intensive treatment to build up his strength, Guidetti was given the go-ahead to resume training at City.Even then, his team-mates were shocked to see the physical after-effects of his illness.“Of course I knew that I had lost all power in my right leg, but what I didn’t notice was that my leg had become so thin. The boys at City shouted: ‘F*****g hell, John, just look at your leg!’.“They could not believe their eyes.“I go to the club every morning and don’t come home until the evening.“When I walk in through my front door I am absolutely exhausted.”Guidetti added: “I have had lots of supporting letters and messages and in a few weeks I am going to play my first game in the reserves again.“The manager has said he won’t let me go back to Feyenoord on loan again because he wants to see me in the Premier League.“The one thing I do know is that I will never eat chicken again.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got foodpoisoning from eating badly cooked chicken, from that he got a virus that spread to his leg and injured the muscles in the leg wich made the knee weaker... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaretFondu Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'd quite like Aspas from Liverpool on loan for our creative player. He tore up la liga didn't he? Scored against Real Madrid also. Can't be on that high wages because he was bought from Celta Vigo who got promoted from the second Spanish league. Is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere last week Michu talking about the possibility of playing with Aspas at swansea. Not sure if he was just answering a jounos question or if there are any rumours about a possible switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Michu hopes Swansea City target Liverpool forward Iago Aspas in the January transfer window. Aspas, 26, signed for Liverpool from Celta Vigo in the summer for around 7 million pounds but has made just four Premier League starts since the switch. And should the Spaniard seek a loan switch away from Anfield then Michu would welcome his compatriot at the Liberty Stadium. Michu said in the Daily Mirror: “We [the Welsh club's Spanish players] are hoping he can come here on loan. It would be a pleasure to play with him. Iago has had injuries, but he has quality. He deserves to play in the Premier League. “He has been unlucky. At Liverpool, they have Luis Suarez and [Daniel] Sturridge, who have scored a lot of goals. Suarez is, along with Diego Costa and others, one of the best strikers in Europe.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'd quite like Aspas from Liverpool on loan for our creative player. He tore up la liga didn't he? Scored against Real Madrid also. Can't be on that high wages because he was bought from Celta Vigo who got promoted from the second Spanish league. Is it possible? Wouldn't mind seeing what he could do as one of the main men in a Premier League side, but he's not exactly flourished at Liverpool so could be a risk. As for wages, you're probably right about his wages at Celta, but he's at Liverpool now. When he moved there is no way his agent would've asked for the £15-20k pw he was on at Celta, he would've demanded a lot more. The only figures I can find are from Marca who suggest he signed a deal worth ~£40k pw, so to come to us I'd imagine he'd demand upwards of £50k, so out of our reach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myko Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Paraphrased conversation between guy asking questions on AVTV in the Liverpool pre-match confrence and Lambo: "So Paul, transfer targets - any closer to signing Wes Hoolahan?" "No no not really, but like I've said there's a few we've been looking at. Some "number tens" as I like to call them, but they couldn't be done. We're looking at other positions though." Either, this means Lambert is looking at a few number tens as well as "other positions", or he's given up on number tens and now looking at other positions... (Another Simon Dawkins-esque?) ... If we don't sign a "number ten"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't sign a "number ten"... Sounds to me as though he's saying he's looked at a few 'number 10's' as he calls them but not been able to do a deal for who he wants so is focussing on other areas of the squad. Just hope it doesn't bite us on the arse, and hopefully the other positions will be exciting signings... We can but hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
