“It would be good for Marc Guiu to go somewhere and play 20 games in the Premier to be a better player”
Joe Cole recommends that Marc Guiu look for some type of loan so he can play more minutes and not see his progress slowed down: “It would probably be good for him to go somewhere and play 20 games in the Premier League, and he will be a better player.”
The former footballer believes that Chelsea will not want to lose sight of the Spanish striker: “You wouldn’t want to let him leave, because I think he will have a say in the second half of the season.”
