I don't find him a particularly good tackler. He's good enough for a box to box midfielder, but not enough for Juve to rely primarily for winning the ball back in midfield.
I don't think it would work without one of Melo or Sissoko.
A Melo - Aquilani partnership would be very good imo.
Are we talking about different players.

Good tackler or not doesn't take away the fact that he's great at hustling and certainly no pushover. It's not as spectacular as Sissoko-tackles, but he's still an effective ball-winner. Remains to be seen if he'll form a good partnership with Aquilani or not, though.
