Confirmed.
Federico Macheda to Sampdoria (Loan Watch)
- Thread starter Baby Faced Assassin
- Start date
I hope he does well and does come back.
I wanted an English team for him.
I don't like the idea of this. He'd be better of staying in England learning what the Premier League is about. This kind of loan is more likely to lead to a permanent move home.
Feel that way too. Wish he had gone to a premier league and gotten used to playing in it week in week out like Welbeck has.
wanted and English team for him, i think he will be sold after this. hope not though.
We've seen in the past loaning to English clubs isn't always best. Rossi to Newcastle is one that comes to mind.
Had he not gone to Parma we'd have got feck all for him.
I'm hoping this isnt the end of Kiko. I have no reason to. I'm just going to enjoy him ripping Italian football a new one and coming back a serious player.
Rooney, Chica, Kiko should see us good for a fair few years.

All the best Kiko.
Good luck to him, I think his agent's comments that it's "99% certain" he'll return to United after the loan is promising. I really hope he does well and proves his quality for a very good side in a top league. He'll also have the opportunity to work with some good players and a very talented striker in Giampaolo Pazzini.
As a follower of Italian football, I look forward to watching Macheda play for Sampdoria. They are playing Palermo on Thursday night by the way, I don't know whether he'll be signed in time to play though.

Means his career with us is probably over. He'll earn himself a move to italy i reckon.
Hold on don't they have a january winter break?
If he does well we could get a pretty penny fir him. Personally I think he is clearly more suited to the Italian league and am excited to see how he does.
Don't forget Welbeck!
good luck kiko.
I do hope he comes back but if the gaffer feels its in our best interest to let him get on with his career than so be it. Atleast that twat cassano is gone from Samp when I watch the games now

The end of his United sentiment only holds water if the player starts pushing for a move.
and hasn't he just penned a 5 year contract?

Yeah, good point. Him too.
Sampdoria vs. AS Roma is on ESPN on the 9th of January, at 11.30am.
Can't really see him getting ahead of Rooney, Berba, Hernandez and Welbeck really even when he does return. He yet seems a better player coming off the bench than when starting but tbf to him he's not always got to start in strong lineups with us. However Hernandez has definitely been far more impressive and Welbeck has done incredibly well at Sunderland as well so not really sure how Kiko will get a chance with us.
And this is not really too much like the Rossi deal. Rossi was a far better player than Kiko is imo. He was just not given as many chances as Kiko has got with the first team.

Finally a reason to watch Serie A
Macheda is 19!!!
He hasn't played well from the start because he has almost always been played as a lone striker. He is still not ready to lead the line.
I would have preferred to c him in a premier league club but as long ass he gets regular football he will improve

Can't help but wonder if this is going to end the same way as Rossi
I hope not
I hope not
bet he'll want to stay there - 5 yr contract means we get a decent fee
My feelings exactly.
Good luck Kiko!
Good luck to him
Hopefully this will turn out a 18 month loan, meaning he will stay until the end of the 2011/2012 season. Because Welbeck will be back next season and he is doing awesome at Sunderland, and we have a possibility to bring Diouf back perhaps even renew contract with Michael Owen. Sampdoria is a good club, he will compete in the top of Italy, probably the second best league in the world as Spain is a two club league. This is a great loan deal, hopefully he can develop further during his time there, because with Berbatov, Rooney, Chicharito and Welbeck he will have to go a long way to be good enough for us.
Meh. Even Messi couldn't make me watch Serie A.
Sampdoria currently in 8th, 13 points off the top. They may as well give Sampo the crown now.
He'll have roughly the same number of players ahead of him next season, I would have thought. Rooney, Berbatov, Hernandez and Welbeck. I don't see us bringing Diouf back and I presume we won't offer Owen a new deal.
I think this will be another Rossi situation. I imagine he'll enjoy the first team opportunities but gain little preparation for English top level football, and perhaps become more suited to the Italian game, resulting in a greater chance of staying there.
Theres an interesting Serb prospect in Krsticic at Samp, hopefully Kiko can link up well with him whilst over there.
sampdoria ?hopefully not rossi part 2
Why are everyone referring to Rossi when saying that he'll want to move home? Rossi moved to Spain after his loan spell in Italy for feck's sake.
Wish he went to a PL team, but he always wanted to go back to Italy. So he gets his wish and I hope he makes the most of this opportunity.
I am surprised that a team like Sampdoria wanted him.
I think his lack of mobility makes him unsuitable to a certain extent for the English Premier League. In fact, i think he will do pretty well in Serie A, especially for a team like Sampdoria. This loan move will only benefit us, as it is clear that 1) the lad will get plenty of starting time, and 2) he will be on the market for all the Italian clubs esp if he does well. The fact that he is signing a new contract means nothing but a way to secure a huge fee should he be sold. I don't think any of us should be surprised as it is been so clear since a few seasons ago, that we are in the business of buying youth from all over the world, only to sell them for a huge fee if they can't break into the team.
Good luck to him. He needs to make necessary improvements in his game to succeed back here. Hope he returns to us as a more complete striker.
Good luck to Macheda.
Hopefully he'll have a good career ahead.
