Looking at the Summer Transfer Window when Guidetti/Scepovic signed, to me it looks like Guidetti was only signed because Scepovic wasn't coming then with the U-Turn they decided to take both.
Last Season a was told by a former player(Mark Millar) that John Park has a lot of clout when it comes to signings, says he's more of a recruiter than a scout, backed up by the fact if you look at Neil Lennon's comments when it was coming up to TW's he always harked on about buying UK based players, Pukki/Balde were Park signings, Lennon went to Holland twice to watch Finnbogason and ended up with those 2 instead, that's why we ended up with Stokes as out #1 striker last season, and again Scepovic was spotted and recommended by Park. think Lawwell needs to start giving his manager a bit more say in signings, which I think Ronny has done with the January TW.

Never go in with your top offer. it could be that Armstrong was looking to see if eltic were serious and he might ask to go, could maybe shed a cpl of hundred k's off the fee
{Ed007's Note - And give up loyalty bonuses etc that he's due? Even if he handed in a transfer request, which isn't going to happen, Utd can still ask for the same money or even turn down the request.
Clubs and players don't need to do what CFC fans want them to do.}

Some "B" teams take on young loan players to see if they are worth signing long term. plus they also sign older players who are only good enough to play in that division to help the youngsters instead of them getting humped every week and losing confidence
N'gog signed for Reims earlier today

other side of the coin Gerry is you have lesser teams defending for 90 mins to force a replay back at CP to get half the gate receipts and we have to fork out more money to go to the replay. .I'm all for finishing the game on the day
Reading the opening post I'm confused, you said your only change would be Commons for Griffiths, but at the end you said you'd start Guidetti ahead of Griffiths?
I would actually make the 2 changes, Commons for GMS(because a feel as if Commons strength and hold up play can get us up the park and keep us up the park plus will ping a few from 25 yards), and Guidetti for the same outlet to get us up the park plus a think his power and pace could tire the Italian defence out for Griffiths movement later on
