' NEWS ON FEDERICO MACHEDA '

It is believed that new Cardiff City manager Paul Trollope has been told by senior management to get Macheda off the wage budget and he can even be given a free transfer

Macheda has one year left at Cardiff and believed to be on £80,000 a month basic wages.


The former Manchester United player arrived at the Cardiff City Stadium with much hype around his head, and Cardiff fans were hoping he could replicate the form from his early United days.

Macheda had, had a good loan move at Birmingham City and had proved he could score in the Championship, for some reason he has failed to do this for Cardiff City.

However, Macheda failed to really live up to his potential, and his scoring record in Wales has been far from impressive.

Last season Macheda was loaned out to Nottingham Forest,but this loan turned out to be a failure.


Top that off with a host of injuries and you can see why Paul Trollope would want to move him on this summer.

""We are hoping that (deal) is going to be concluded quite soon," he said following the Potters 3-0 pre-season loss to Burton Albion.

"I met him last night and he seems a very mature young man and we've got high hopes for him, so I'm very pleased he's going to join us and I'm looking forward to working with him.

"The Egyptian league isn't an easy league, so he's obviously capable of dealing with that aspect and I'm sure he will have an impact with us."

Matt Ritchie has told Newcastle fans there is 'more to come' after his stunning opener in the Magpies 6-0 win against Bohemian FC.

"It was a good test and I thoroughly enjoyed it," the new signing told the club's official website.

"I was really pleased to score and delighted with the finish. Hopefully there's a few more of them to come - that's the plan.

'BENTEKE HAS THE ATTRIBUTES'

Christian Benteke has the necessary attributes to succeed at Crystal Palace, according to former Eagles striker Leon McKenzie.

"Crystal Palace need an out-and-out goalscorer who is fast, sharp and brings something a little bit different. Christian Benteke certainly has those attributes," footballer-turned boxer McKenzie told Sky Sports.

"I think he would be a good addition and he needs to rediscover what made him such a valuable player in the first place. A lot of it is down to man-management and Alan Pardew will always be able to get the best out of certain players.

"Pardew could perhaps get Benteke back to where he was before. It would be good move for him and hopefully Palace can get him."
