Guidetti talks continue

There was speculation that, with Laws gone, it might no longer be the case but given that his arrival at Turf Moor was down to a friendship between City's David Platt (not Gail's son) and our caretaker boss Stuart Gray there was no reason to suggest we wouldn't continue to try and keep him.

Gray has this morning confirmed that. He said: "We are talking to Manchester City about wanting to extend John's stay. There are a few little scenarios and City have a few injury problems with their forwards.

"At the end of the day he is still Manchester City's player but we are in dialogue and we are hoping they can give us the green light."

Guidetti joined Burnley on the loan deadline which was 25^th November at that loan came to an end yesterday.
