Federico Macheda Loan watch

[AngeloHenriquez]

Aren't harnick and Ibisivec their forwards? Or however you spell it, what are his chances to get regular playing time? How does he match up to them?

 

[Ekeke]

Good league, mid table club at the moment. Should be a big test for him

 

[RedDevilCanuck]

I love how Fletcher is pretty much chocking the shit out of him during the celebrations.

So it seems Fergie either still has faith or wants to shop him in a new league to get a higher fee.

 

[Dargonk]

Hope he does well

 

[lunchforthesky]

Excellent - far better level than a champo loan.

The race is now on: Macheda v The One in the Bundesliga scoring contest...

I don't really see how that's better. Perhaps I'm wrong but I really don't see how he'd get proper playing time at Stuttgart. He'd be better off going to League 1 if that's where he needed to go to start every week.

It's easy as outsider to think so, but he must have his own belief and confidence, his thrive as well

It's not easy to accept the fact that one week you're playing for United and another you're playing in League 1

It all well and good having confidence in yourself, but he hasn't proven to be good enough to play at that level at this point. Si it will be tough for him to convince the manager to put his faith in him. Would have preferred a lower team to send him to so he definitely gets starts, but doesn't look like it is going to happen again with him. Hopefully this doesn't turn into another spell where he just warms the benches.

 

[gooDevil]

Interesting move, like others I'm concerned that he won't get enough playing time, as was the case at QPR and Sampdoria. But if he does get a good amount of playing time it could be the making of him.

Though if I was the manager of Stuttgart I'd be worried about being fired, just like the two managers who brought Macheda to QPR and Sampdoria.

 

[Jaap]

Watch him score against Bayern Munich on Sunday now.

Game's on at 4:30PM if anyone's interested.

 

[IrishLegend]

Should have gone to a championship club like Watford.

He's ruining his career with overly ambitious loan moves.

Overambitious?

A Sampodoria side that got relegated and a QPR side that just about avoided thr drop were overambitious loan moves?

Clubs that are in religations battles aren't going to take risks playing a 20 year old striker to help them get out of it.

QPR went and brought a dozen strikers and Sampdoria were never gonna play Macheda when things got tough, they're always going to rely on experienced heads.

Loan him to a mid table championship or premiership club where playing a 20 year old kid isn't so much of a risk. Especially in the championship.

Look at Cleverly, done amazingly at Watford, Got a loan move to Wigan next season, got games under his belt and impressed. United first team a season later.

 

[Forevergiggs]

Were they over ambitious moves?

The fact is that he was unlucky with those loan moves. Both the teams changed managers after he was signed on loan. He didn't fit in the new managers plan and the stints turned out unsuccessful. The same could have happened at a championship club.

For a 18/19 year old (at the time) Striker yes.

If your a midfielder or defender you can get away with it because there's someone along side you to bail you out but as a Striker it's different. If he'd gone to a championship club and scored 20+ goals in a season a top flight team would be more willing to take a gamble on him and give him game time because they'd know he can do the job.

Diouf has done well at this level. Maybe he can follow suit.

Very True. Gives me hope.

Macheda is such a good natural finisher it would be a shame to see his Talent go to waste.

How did he do?

 

[Sojiro]

How did he do?

wasnt in the squad - like blackwidow or balu mentioned in the bundesliga thread, stuttgart have multple fronts to compete in (league, Europa, Cup) so they will be playing alot of games and he should get a few games to spell ibisevic. hopefully he can get a few early goals for his confidence

 

[Amar__]

He played whole second half for Stuttgart tonight.

 

[I'm always right]

Any good?

 

[Amar__]

I haven't watched the game.

 

[Cevno]

Got the assist according to Twitter.

 

[Successful]

Coming on for Stuttgart at the 88th minute + 2 min added time.

 

[Solius]

4 minutes, woo!

 

[Cevno]

4 minutes more than Henriquez atleast.

 

[Keltoi]

Propably will leave for £3-4m in the summer.

Looks like he wouldn't mind it either Keltoi

 

[Steven Seagull]

£4m and we'll be laughing. £1m at the most

 

[AngeloHenriquez]

Don't think he has scored in the 3 games he has played I think and from what I have heard has been largely unastounding...

 

[Amar__]

Labbadia said he will be starter tonight against Lazio, because Ibisevic is suspended.

As bad as it sounds, I think even if he bags a couple per game until season's end, his fate is sealed.

 

[Amar__]

Yeah, that could be true.

 

[Someone]

Macheda still exists ?

 

[Amar__]

Played pretty much whole game, substituted in injury time, and from what I saw(and heard from commentator), he was very poor, but don't trust me since I missed big part of the game.

Good interview with him by the daily mail, really hope the guy makes it somewhere, will always remember that VITAL goal, always seems like SAF speaks highly of him, I'm sure once he said he was the best finisher at the club...

 

[gooDevil]

Yeah, he was probably just talking him up.

 

[Sylar]

That goal against Sunderland is forgotten but almost as vital.

Agreed, hope he does well and makes it.

He scored one of the most important goals in the club's entire history, on his debut, as a 17 year old. Once he's gone off to have a middling career on the continent the stick he gets from some quarters will disappear, and I imagine we'll all go back to loving him unconditionally.

 

[Isotope]

Undoubtedly, the most emotional goal celebration I've ever seen.

I'll second that remember watching it in the pub and being exhausted and nearly in tears after that goal went in.
