We're definitely not going to keep him. BUT I was a fan of him. A few numb sculls in here still think that he and Diego were rubbish but they in fact had a decent season in a very poorly built and poorly managed team.

Gala fans must think he's a god. Winning goal against Man U and a penalty save in the same week. Always loved Melo.

Not really. And under Delneri, Zach and Ferrara. He was our best player last season no doubt.

That argument (about Melo's comments) is silly everyone hating on Melo is just melodramatic. The squad sucked hard and Melo was completely correct in pointing that out. While everyone was busy pointing fingers at each other and searching for scapegoats, Melo had the balls to tell it how it...

Scored an incredible long range goal. I still like this player.

If Melo wasn't Juve's best player last season then who was?

He was always getting jeered by the fans.

That will unfortunately never happen.

How many years left on his contract? His value ought to be 15M no less unless his contract is running out.

Of course he had a successful passing rate. He passed backward and sideways. He only ever made safe passes. Obviously numbers are irrelevant because anyone can be a successful passer if they don't take the necessary risks needed to take the ball forward and leave it to players like Melo. Just...

We'll see about that. I hope Vidal is a good aggressive tackler like Melo was last season because that's exactly what we'll need. I think Melo - Pirlo would have been more balanced but I don't know Vidal well. Even if Vidal isn't a great destroyer, that's not Conte's style. Conte by the looks of...

His job was never specified and announced. When we bought him we knew he could destroy well, hold well and pass okay. That is pretty much what he did last season. How many goals we conceded with him on the pitch is irrelevant. Needless to say Marchisio and Aquilani were far less complementing of...

Meaning he really doesn't excel in any one position, kind of like Pepe. Those types of players are handy squad players. IMO considering we are playing a 4-2-4 not a 4-3-3 and that Conte's football is very attacking and possession based he wanted a more well rounded midfielder next to Pirlo and...

Yeah but if you actually look at last seasons games you will find that it lacked it from Aquilani and Marchisio not Melo. If one midfielder is providing those things but the rest of the midfield isn't, then of course its still going to suck.

Word. Besides, Vidal and Marchisio are far more similar than Vidal and Melo.

Stats should never have been brought into this argument. There are many things that Melo did better than Marchisio last season that are probably not on record. Melo simply had more energy and enthusiasm on the pitch and tried to bring the ball forward at every opportunity. Marchisio was static...

Well that's you're problem not Melo's. He's no Davids but he's no Sissoko either. Definitely not as prone to losing the ball than Momo in fact he made good runs forward when no one else was willing to challenge our opponents and was at times a decent passer of the ball. If his challenges were so...

Waa waaa waaa. How many red cards did he receive with us? I can recall two. If I'm right, Buffon received the same amount of red cards that Melo did last season. I guess the general sentiment on this forum is still the same - he cost us our season because of that red card verse Parma. That...

I'm going to miss this man.

One of the teams he won't accept.
