Rotherham can confirm the signing of striker Luciano Becchio on a deal until the end of the season, he can play against Cardiff City.

The club have been willing to listen to offers for front pair Federico Macheda and Alex Revell but so far no one has actually offered money for them.

Bristol City have enquired about Federico Macheda, but have not actually put an offer in.
Macheda has returned from a back operation, but has been unable to get in to Russell Slades starting 11.


Rotherham have also enquired about Alex Revell but again without putting a firm offer in.
Revell was signed by Slade and recently went on loan to division side Wigan where his loan was cut short.

Russell Slade was hoping to have sold them both in the January transfer market.

Cardiff City are currently under a transfer embargo and Russell Slade has been told to continue to trim the squad.



Hi Annis,

I expect clubs to come for both of them in the last few days of the window when they start buying anything.

I think at least 2 other squad players to leave and quite a few of the younger players to get experience.

IMO we will sign at least 5 to compensate for that even with the embargo :ayatollah:



Morning Karl, the stumbling block with Macheda is his high wages he is on and also even though Revell is on a low wage its still double what he was originally on at Rotherham, so other clubs are put off by this.
We never learn on wages/contracts.

How we've managed to get rid of players before under Tan is they are freezed out of the team and in the end they have agreed a settlement of their current contracts.

Im just looking forward to Rotherham home, after that great win at Wolves :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Annis how much do you believe Macheda is on a week in another thread someone put up he's on £8k week
That's not massive for championship players



Steve, Wez said that wage. I 100% believe he's on over £25,000 a week, maybe over £30,000.

Hi annis not sure which of you or wez is right
My honest guess would of been £20k plus

According to this site a player can play for no more than 3 clubs in a season. I thought it was only 2 as well.

he was on 600k a year for man Utd so I cant see him being on that much for us ,not all championship players are on massive money

Chris, Macheda will score goals, Revell will be lucky to get a good club.




Annis, I totally agree :thumbup:
