I'm intrigued. Now the guy can finally play for us it seems, he was brought on with one third of a second to go last night. Took his penalty with ease though. All the players raving about him earlier on the tour.

Any chance he might be in our squad(s), as we seem a bit thin on the ground? He has cost us a few quid for a youngster. Gotta be better than Mancini junior and McGivern.

Cool as a cucumber wasn't he.....you could tell he wasn't English ;-)

Guidetti has looked good aswell. Strong, fast, a bit of skill and doesnt seem to be scared of anyone.

I'm hoping to see both of them a few times this season.

I know it's a joke but I was pretty impressed with the pens from Milner & SWP, very un-English.

Very cool from Suarez though. Like it.

Was absolutely shocked to see Suarez come on last night, honestly thought when we signed him it was another player for the future but looks as though he is on the fringes of the first team already.

Very exciting stuff.

I don't think he technically needs a place in our squad, does he? Surely he's young enough he doesn't count against the limit?

He's only 17. We do not need to register him as one of the 25.

Just hope he never has to take a penalty.

Just because you think yr the ginger version of him doesn't mean you should wax poetic about his football. I thought he looked like crap but to be honest I can see why they refer to him as the "Swedish Wayne Rooney."

Didn't see any of Guidetti's alleged 'pace'...

Suarez has looked good, and he looks like he has the right temperament, so let's hope he can learn from Silva and others, and he does get a chance to shine.

Seen Guidetti a few times, bags of strength, eye for goal, good header of the ball... but pace... not so much.

I'm thinking him and Dzeko have a lot in common. Dzeko is better though, of course.

Sadly can't see Guidetti breaking into the first team anytime soon though if i'm honest.

He seems to be more explosive rather than out and out pace, so not too good on the counter but decent in their area.

I've thought that...Guidetti just seems like a lesser version of Dzeko

Didn't do a thing in 'regulation' just ran the clock down...shocking! ...bring back Barry Conlan!

Haven't heard anyone call him particularily quick. He is what I'd call "strong runner".

I like Guidetti, think he is worth a few games this season. Probably needs to get over the idea that he is already there and keep working on his game though.

Suárez...who knows? The fact he is with the squad on tour probably means he is on the fringes and with a few subs appearances under him, who knows.

He is faster than dzeko or not as lazy, whichever way you want to look at it.
