"He must be quite gutted, actually, because I've been to see Sunderland this season and they look like a really exciting side. It's a young team, and for Guiu, it was a huge opportunity to get some games under his belt. He would have played a big part rather than coming off the bench or starting in less meaningful games, so I do think he'll be gutted with how it's worked out."
"On the other hand, he's a Chelsea player, and he understands that he is still a young player developing. From talking to people at Chelsea, they really rate him highly and that he will come good for this football club. They thought the move to Sunderland would be great for him and for his development to build up some Premier League experience."
Marc Guiu was loaned to Sunderland after limited first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge. Sunderland provided a young, exciting squad where Guiu would have expected regular Premier League minutes to aid development. Liam Delap's injury and Nicolas Jackson's loan to Bayern Munich left Chelsea short of strikers. Chelsea recalled Guiu early to provide squad depth up front. The recall curtailed the planned playing-time benefits that Sunderland promised. Chelsea continue to rate Guiu highly and view him as a player with a clear pathway toward first-team involvement. The club believes he can develop into a reliable senior option.
