Guiza opens Barcelona door

Asked about the rumours linking him with a transfer to Barcelona (read more here), Mallorca forward Dani Güiza (27) has said in an interview with Madrid sports tabloid Marca that he doesn't have any hard feeling towards Barcelona anymore (read more here) and that he would certainly consider an offer: "To play for Barcelona would be somthing impressive for me. A dream."

Güiza, who is a fan of Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o since the time they spend together in Mallorca, also has an excellent relationship with Real Sociedad manager Juan Manuel Lillo, who is one of the candidates to assist future Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola as of next season (read more here) and who coached Güiza when the latter played for Real Murcia.

Asked about the rumours linking Güiza with Italian club Naples, player's agent Ernesto Bronzetti, who described the player as "Inzaghi with more power and more technique", has said in an interview with Italian local radio station Radio Marte that Barcelona is at this moment the main candidate and that Naples probably cannot pay the salary he's asking: "Güiza is now earning one million euro a year. I know his agent well and she has told me that he wants a pay rise to 3 million euro. That would be very difficult for Naples."

I don't think he is the kind of player we need. Maybe as back-up?

Well he does bring a certain amount of physical presence up front which Barca needs. But I just don't see anything "special" about him. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't play more of a "lone striker" position up front? I thought we already had Eto'o and/or Henry to fill that role?...This team needs a left winger and I think Andres Guardado would fit the bill.
