Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 12, 2013 I know he wasn''t all that at QPR but if we could get him on the cheap, he''s only 21, has a lot of talent and has shown it at VFB Stuttgart.The striker hunt semmingly continues to frustrate and here''s a realistic option.

King Klose 0 Posted July 12, 2013 Why do you always make terrible suggestions? First Di Santi, now Macheda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 12, 2013 That''s only 2 of my suggestions and they''d be a back up player. I doubt Macheda would be terrible anyway. Who would you suggest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,232 Posted July 12, 2013 For the right price I actually think Macheda would be a good addition / option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macheda played 14 games at Stuttgart, didn''t score a single goal and they decided not to take up their option to purchase. I think he is someone worth keeping well clear of.

Indy 3,232 Posted July 12, 2013 I think we need options and I believe Macheda has potential under the right management. If we could add to the front line without spending millions then why not, Hooper & Macheda would not be bad IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,232 Posted July 12, 2013 What about Bednar, not really made it anywhere he''s gone out on loan from Arsenal, yet could be a great player if he could get his act together. Is he worth a loan with option to buy? Would he come? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 12, 2013 Bendtner you mean? I used to defend him to the hills but he''s done nothing for a couple of seasons now. Low wages and free transfer maybe, but i''d rather not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The ghost of Michael Theoklitos 0 Posted July 12, 2013 I''d rather have Funky Cold Macheda....... you know what I''m say''n? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 0 Posted July 12, 2013 Lol! Jimmy - you need to be a bit careful.Macheda - last two seasons:2012 → Queens Park Rangers (loan) 3 (0)2013 → VfB Stuttgart (loan) 14 (0)All be it that he is only 21.Bendtner - last two seasons:2011–2012 → Sunderland (loan) 28 (8)2012–2013 → Juventus (loan) 9 (0)Surprisingly perhaps, Bendtner is only 25.If I was given a choice between the two for the same wages and price I would have to say I would go for Bedtner. Much more proven.If we are to go for a relatively untried youngster with potential I''d rather Loza or somebody like that given a chance first. Just as much of a risk, only little cost.

GJP 79 Posted July 12, 2013 [quote user="Jimmy Smith"] he''s only 21, has a lot of talent .[/quote]Has he? Looks to me like he was probably good at his age group when he was younger but probably doesn''t have enough about him to make it at the top level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 12, 2013 Had then. Just a passing suggestion. We could be his last shot at the big time. He looked good in his earlier days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 441 Posted July 12, 2013 [quote user="GJP"]Looks to me like he was probably good at his age group when he was younger but probably doesn''t have enough about him to make it at the top level.[/quote]Exactly my view as well GJP.Macheda has flopped massively since his move to Man Utd, has failed to impress on ANY of his loans either, and whilst he could still go on to have a decent career, he''s clearly not good enough for the top level and therefore not someone who should even be on our shortlist...
