Federico Macheda

http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/...t-to-snatch-striker-away-from-birmingham-city

Leicester City are well into their plans for next season having secured promotion to the Premier League. The club are planning how they're going to spend all the extra income but don't want to go overboard and store up problems for the future like some other clubs have done and still do to this day.

Birmingham City have struggled without the Premier League income stream but spending little money or not money at all doesn't always have to end poorly. The loan of Federico Macheda has worked out really well and been his best period for some time, perhaps in his whole career.

The 22 year old has scored 4 goals in his last 3 games. Previous loan spells away from Manchester United with Sampdoria, QPR, Stuttgart and Doncaster didn't work anywhere near as well as his current situation and Macheda has scored more goals for Birmingham than he did for all those clubs combined.

His Manchester United contract runs out in the summer and, according to TMW in Italy, Leicester City are looking to sign him and have already made contact with his agents. TMW are probably trustworthy on this given that Macheda's agent and the player himself often speak to the Italian outlet, it doesn't take a detective to work out where this information has come from.


A chance to make it with a Premier League club will be welcome for Macheda and, on a free transfer, he's a gamble Leicester are ready to take. Birmingham, who would like to keep the player, can't really compete with that.

Young, out of contract and ex-Manchester United. Fits the profile. (If we were staying in the Championship)
 
Linked with Mark Davies by local Bolton rag.

If it was the Mark Davies of old I would be delighted, but he's not the same player he used to be.
 
Man U player on his way.
