Federico Macheda to Sampdoria (Loan Watch)

[Virtuoso]

u.c. Sampdoria - Aspettando il transfer, prima a Bogliasco per Macheda

I don't know much Italian, but I'm pretty sure that the article is basically saying that Macheda completed his first training session with Sampdoria today and is possibly in contention for the match against Roma on Sunday.

A video has come out from Genoa (the city, not the club), showing him arriving at presumably the club:

MACHEDA A PRIMOCANALESPORT: "CHE GIOIA LA SAMP", 05-01-2011 CALCIO GENOVA

And him training:

MACHEDA SBARCA ALLA SAMP, SCAMBIO POZZI-MACCARONE, 07-01-2011 CALCIO GENOVA

Macheda

Oh and the Sampdoria fans love him already... 773 posts on the transfer!

This report suggests Pazzini may be out with flu, so he could start alongside Marilungo against Roma!

samp has one of the best club crests on the planet. the old sailor outline with a pipe. class.

If you will be given a few options on future Macheda is otherwise well no ... I highly doubt. We have our young people to be exploited (the next year there will be safe grafts, Marotta's words) and I do not think we will grow in the others.
It seems to me a shot, yet another of this gravure from hairdresser.

looks like I will be watching Italian soccer again...

I like the boy, hopefully he might come back more strong anyway the rest of the team will save two shirts of EPL and CL champions.

What's this prestito secco thing the Samp fans seem quite unhappy about? A loan with no option to buy (which is what they're getting)?

 

[MalteseRedDevil]

They hate that the club is portraying the transfer as a great deal for the club. But it is actually no more than a favor to united in their eyes.

In Italy the loan system is used differently than in england. Most loans happen because clubs cant afford to sign the player or want to have a look at him 1st.
Therefore they include an option to buy so that if the loan is successful they can make sure that they retain the player rather than see him walk away.

This is a win win situation for both clubs since the selling club usually wants to get rid of th player anyway and the buyer gets to see the player in action before signing him

Is it confirmed he is going to start against Roma on Sunday?

 

[Sir A1ex]

Is it confirmed he is going to start as Roma on Sunday?

That's a big ask, even for Kiko... taking on Sampdoria all by himself.

No, I think Roma should bring their own XI, and Kiko should start up front alongside 10 other Sampdoria players.

It's infinitely more sensible, when you think about it.

 

[Paul Scholes]

i bet he will come back to us....too good to sell him....

 

[Redrage]

There's no way we're going to sell him.
Hopefully he gets games at Sampdoria.

Yeah yeah very funny. I just left the word 'against' and you try to act smart.

Sampdoria vs Roma is on at 11.30am by the way, may be a good chance to see how Macheda does before the United match.

good double header

 

[prateik]

does he start?

You must have only seen the highlights of Macheda's goals. If you have watched him in any of the matches he has started, you may agree that he is too bad to keep him.

 

[nimic]

I read that post before seeing who said it, and thought "who the feck is thi... oh".

 

[Kaiketsu_Zorro]

Kiko on the bench.

I took a different route. I read the poster's name, and then guessed what the post might say.

 

[prateik]

Marilungo and Pozzi is starting today for Sampdoria, but Macheda is on the bench. Doria fans expect him to be involved later on in the match so we might see him be subbed on in the second half.

pm from the newbs

[Jacob]

[Jacob]

I'm streaming Italian fotboll, wihooo!! Barely watch Inter-Milan when it's on TV. Go Kiko go!!

Yeah, because it says a lot about the actual ability when some 18/19-year old striker with barely any experience can't do the business as a lone striker most of the time he's actually getting a game. What a load of rubbish.

 

[Jacob]

1-0 at HT, a cameo does look more likely now.

 

[prateik]

Pen to samp and red for the roma keeper
Still no Kiko.. he was warming up tho. could come on

 

[pillory]

1-1 and 11 vs 10. Bring on all the strikers you've got, bastards.

 

[Jacob]

1-1

 

[Jacob]

Pazzini coming on, wtf? I was expecting that substitution to be Macheda.

 

[Chrisjn]

Finished 1-1?

 

[pillory]

He's coming on.

 

[Fiskey]

Kiko about to come on!!!

 

[wr8_utd]

Kiko comes on
