TOON IN CHEEKY LOAN OFFER TO FERGIE

Magpies ask for Macheda in exchange for Taylor

 

By Martin Hardy, 12/12/2009

NEWCASTLE have asked Manchester United about a shock loan swap that would see defender Steven Taylor exchanged for hitman Federico Macheda.

 

Toon bosses are worried about their striking options for the remainder of the season, as the club attempt to make an immediate return to the Premier League.

 

Central defender Matthew Kilgallon is expected to move to Newcastle next month from Sheffield United.

 

That would allow the Toon to loan 23-year-old Taylor to United - who are in need of temporary defensive cover - with Macheda heading in the opposite direction.

 

Forward Marlon Harewood will return to Nottingham Forest this month after failing to impress during his loan spell at St James' Park - and Shola Ameobi is considering going to the African Cup of Nations with Nigeria.

 

That leaves Newcastle with one experienced striker in Peter Lovenkrands plus rookies Andy Carroll and Nile Ranger.

 

Italian Macheda, 18, is viewed as a scorer of real promise and is rated highly by Newcastle's staff, who believe he could hit a hatful in the Championship.

People are being paid to churn this shite out. Most of us would do a better job.
