Skirge Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=468802&CPID=23&clid=178&lid=2&title=Gudjohnsen+to+stay+put&channel=football_home& Eidur Gudjohnsen's father and agent, Arnor, insists he son will not be returning to the Premiership next season. The Icelandic ace has been strongly linked with a move back to England, after failing to really hit the heights with Barcelona - since his move to Catalunya two years ago. However, Gudjohnsen senior feels the likes of Newcastle, West Ham, Portsmouth and Sunderland can forget about making an offer for his son. "He hasn't been thinking about coming back to England at all," he told the Sunday Sun. "He really wants to make amends for the last six months at Barcelona, which have been difficult for him. "He wants to do better there next season having now learned how Spanish football is. "Of course, you never know what is going to happen, and it is flattering that clubs like Newcastle are linked with him. "But the fact is I have not heard anything from any clubs in England, and Ediur wants to stay where he is." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 One thing to admire is that his father is his agent, meaning that his agent just wont up and tell him to sign where all cash is. He'll want what is actually best for his son/client. Hopefully they'll realise that that is us 8) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 From BBC Barcelona striker Eidur Gudjohnsen admits he would be interested in a move to Manchester United. He said: "If I leave then my idea would be to return to British football. "A perfect choice for me will be a club that plays in the Champions League. Obviously Manchester United is a club that fits into that category." He added: "I joined Barcelona to be part of the club's triumphs but it is not easy for me when you look at the club's forward line and see all the big names there. "Each minute has been a special test for me but to sit on the bench is not the most desirable experience for a player. "I still don't think I have failed in Spain, but perhaps I have not totally won the confidence of the coach." Gudjohnsen is under contract until 2009 and could be available for around £8m - a figure that could interest United as the Premiership champions weigh up their striking options for next season.

toontownman Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Would still love him here, not least for his versatility, would be the missing attacking link in midfield or great upfront. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest samtoonarmy Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Can't say I have seen a great deal of him at Barca but if he is anything like the Chelsea Gudjohnsen he would be a great signing. Would compliment any of our strikers well, can score goals and would link up midfield and attack a lot better than we do at the moment. I couldn't agree more. I too haven't seen a great deal of him at Barca. However he was a great player at Chelsea and he can score goals also and I think he would be a great CF for us. I would only sign him if either Martins or Owen went because I think our strikers are excellent and if we can keep a hold of Owen I think we will score many goals next season.

Mowen Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 £8m for Gudjohnsen would be very good value if the reported prices for Smith and Bent are true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Big talk today about it being time for him to leave Barca, "time to leave" fkn hell he has only been there for a season, mind £9mill for Owen + the £10 mill compo gets us more than we paid out for him and then we can maybe look at Gudjohnsen.

Skirge Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 He was linked with Man ure and still said he wanted to stay at Barca.. This interview? "There is a lot of speculation but I haven't spoken to anyone and am only thinking of continuing here," the 28-year-old told sports daily El Mundo Deportivo. "There were high expectations when I arrived and it's normal that when a striker doesn't score many goals people expect more of you. I also expect more from myself. "But after last season I will be more settled. I know how the club works, the language, and I will only have to focus on my game. When I am in top form it will be easier to change people's opinions of me. "I know that after not winning anything everyone is thinking of making lots of changes, but I want to stay."

Guest Geordiecunny Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 If Martins went for 13, getting Gudjohnsen at 8 and Bridge at 5 would be fantastic business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Original Source Big Sam pressing for Gud decision Jul 2 2007 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle NEWCASTLE United were today stepping up their bid to persuade Eidur Gudjohnsen to rejoin his former boss Sam Allardyce. United sent a delegation to Barcelona last week to discuss their move for Brazilian World Cup winner Edmilson – but the Chronicle understands Kenneth Shepherd will remain in Spain to continue the Magpies’ work in the transfer market this summer by speaking to the La Liga giants about Gudjohnsen. The signing of the former Chelsea and Bolton star will cost United around the £7m mark with Barca keen to recoup as much as possible from the £8m fee they paid the London club 12 months ago, when Gudjohnsen signed a three-year deal and replaced Henrik Larsson. Gudjohnsen, though, has struggled to break into the Catalan side with Barca boasting such attacking luxuries as Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi. With former Arsenal ace Thierry Henry also on board at the Nou Camp, Gudjohnsen is facing an almighty battle to win a place in Frank Rijkaard’s side, who are under pressure to wrestle the title back from Real Madrid next term. Should 28-year-old Gudjohnsen decide to team up with Allardyce again, however, he will still find himself with huge competition to win a first-team shirt. With Michael Owen looking like staying at United next season and Mark Viduka, Shola Ameobi, Oba Martins and Andy Carroll all in the shake-up for attacking places, Gudjohnsen could be taking a sideways step in his career at such a vital time after failing to establish himself at Barca. Yet it is thought that, because Gudjohnsen has a great understanding with Big Sam, he could still opt to return to the Premiership where he netted more than 50 times for Chelsea in a six-year stint. Meanwhile, Allardyce took charge of his first training session as United coach today, but the Toon squad only took part in a light workout at their Benton HQ. Newcastle will head for the western countryside area of Austria this week to shut themselves off from the world as they look to get their focus for the new campaign exactly right. Indeed, players will be instructed to switch off mobile phones during the week-long "boot camp" with Allardyce keen for his squad to get savvy with his approach, fitness programmes and general scientific outlook on the modern game. New coach Steve Round is expected to make the journey to Austria too, and he will work alongside Nigel Pearson with Allarydce confirming all of his coaches will work as a unit with no specified No 2 to be announced. Today’s session was certainly more of a get- together for the bulk of the squad with the fitness aspect of the summer programme expected to be stepped up throughout the week before their friendly programme begins at Hartlepool on July 17. And apart from injured winger Damien Duff, England Under-21 stars James Milner and Steven Taylor, who are both resting after the European Championships, and Mark Viduka, who is with Australia, the United party will jet out to Austria tomorrow. Nothing particularly new, but the Kenny Shepherd stuff has been mooted in the Daily Mail today as well which does lend some more credibility to it.
