Great news, I rate him, many dont,but I believe he went backwards under Slade.

Proved he could score for Birmingham City last season, they loved him, but could not afford him at the time.

He's too lazy - and with Slade still there, will continue to disappoint the majority of Cardiff fans.

Scored today aswell

Re: UPDATED Latest News ' Federico Macheda '

Mon Nov 23, 2015 3:27 pm

only natural finisher at the club. needs some loving.
im hoping its Macheda and Jones on weekend and bring Watt on sub. got no time for Joe Mason.
also hoping Slade has the balls to drop Whittingham and go back to Ralls and Gunner in middle with Pilks and Noone wide.

Manga playing is a good sign. is he ready to replace Morrison ?

Natural goal scorer, end of.
Lazy yes, but he can score goals given the chance. IF only he'd had half the chances Mason did......

With the right delivery and neat play he would thrive but in this team I don't think so

Re: UPDATED Latest News ' Federico Macheda '

Mon Nov 23, 2015 3:56 pm

I agree that he's the only real finisher at the club. You couldn't play him up front with Kenwyne...but maybe with Tony Watt. I really think we need a new partnership.

I agree. I think there is a player and a half in Macheda once he sorts himself out and realises that he has the ability to go a long way :thumbup:

He is our most natural scorer at the club if he wasn't injured i think we would have more points on the board by now.

I was enjoying your post until you mentioned Noone. He's a total waste of space this season!

Great news, with a bit of competition up front maybe just maybe we can kick start our season again, give him decent service and he will score :bluescarf:

Noone was playing against the slowest and worse full back in the league that day......We should know that.

How many did he score or set up ?

I was there again today.

Macheda played okay, did his business and put away a goal from a fair range, but he's put on a bit of weight. :shock: Manga was very good, looking forward to seeing him back in the first team. Semi Ajayi also put in a good shift.

Slade was watching once again from the stands so we'll see on Saturday whether he makes some changes. I imagine Manga will be straight back into the team.

Slade has not idea how to play him. He is a worse target man than Earnie, but because he is a big lump everyone (well slade) thinks he is a big number 9, he isn't.

I am convinced that no one can play with Jones, he spent his life as a lone target man, holding the ball for the attacking midfielders.

Macheda needs space, so needs attacking midfielders to pull defenders away from him as he isn't going to do much running.

I wouldn't be surprised to see jones off in Jan and an attack of Macheda & this Watt lad or Saadi may improve the team dynamic.

Bar far the best finisher at the club, and if he is motivated and in the correct system a goal machine

He def needs to change the team Ralls and Gunnar in midfield for a start.

Completely agree, unfortunately Slade won't drop Whitts.

He should move Whitts on to the left but keep Ralls and Gunnar CM.

Looked fit and ready to go, played very well, he'll at least be on the bench.

I want him back in ASAP but going by the last time he was ready Slade kept him on the bench and persevered with Morrison.
It's a no brainier for me to start him but I think he'll be on the bench.

Lazy, terrible in the air, but will score goals and with confidence will get better. We aren't in a position to be picky. Get him in :thumbup:

If Gunnarson and Pilkington were fit last saturday I think Witts would have been on the bench
