Isa Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The McGradles thing has been reported in Falkirk's local paper too I see. Falkirk face a fight to hang onto prize asset Conor McGrandles with high-profile English clubs circling the 18-year-old. Aston Villa and Norwich are both thought to be keen on a move for the youngster who has been consistently one of the Bairns’ stand-out performers. Blackpool were known to be tracking the youngster this time last year but he stayed with the Bairns and progressed his game and dictated Saturday’s victory over Hibernian, laying on the winner for Rory Loy. McGrandles was drafted into the side by Steven Pressley after progressing through the Falkirk Academy and revelled in the side as an almost ever-present under Gary Holt. The former boss is a big admirer and his new club Norwich City, or Aston Villa and Paul Lambert could be poised to move before the transfer windows closes early next week. http://falkirkherald.co.uk/sport/falkirk-fc/interest-increases-in-bairns-midfielder-1-3521392 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villastine Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Anyone know anything about this player? Looks a decent player. Obviously hard to gauge a player in the SPL but at his age he has huge first team experience and would be well worth the risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few decent players have moved from Scotland recently , McCarthy and McArthur did well at Wigan and now in the former's case Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudoz Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Twitter rumours to Guidetti. He didn't do much whilst on loan last season IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Twitter rumours to Guidetti. He didn't do much whilst on loan last season IIRC. Could be worth a punt on loan if he recaptures his Feyenoord form!! he would score more than Gabby & Weimann Edited August 27, 2014 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 We need some flair in midfield, not another striker. As much as I dislike them just look at Spurs' options for creativity. Lennon, Townsend, Lamela, Eriksen, Holtby, Chadli. Who do we have? Cole and Grealish. It's not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Townsend doesn't create anything. He just shoots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westholmevillan Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Link to Dan Druff from Ayr......checked him out on wiki. He seems half decent. His manager reckons he's head and shoulders above the rest of his squad. Worth a punt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Guidetti? Absolutely no. Feyenoord was offered him and declined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Guidetti is a decent player. I quite like him actually but his goal record at Feyenoord is a bit skewed. A lot of the goals he scored were penalties if i'm not mistaken however he did win a fair few of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 For some reason I get the impression that Guidetti could turn out to be another Bendtner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I've never seen him play - purely know about him because of Football Manager/people saying he's good. What kind of forward is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a bit of energy about him when he want's to but i'd class him as a poacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Reacho Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 John Guidetti is like a mythical creature to me - he's been talked up on here for like the last 3 years and I've yet to ever hear of him outside of this forum. Has he ever actually played in the PL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he ever actually played in the PL? Was on loan at Stoke last season but i'd be amazed if he has played more than 10 games. Still only 22 though.
