Apart from getting sent off against Parma and a few poor passes last season that led to goal, what exactly can you blame Melo for?
In terms of playing to a certain standard when we consider his ability, Melo was more consistent than Krasic, Marchisio, and Aquilani season, probably being our most consistent midfielder all together. I think it was fairy well admitted that he was our best CM last season.
If we're trying to sell him, we are idiots. Period. He's not going to fetch enough to truly improve the squad.
Don't worry, I bet you many who talk up Vidal haven't seen him play either.
I wouldn't say he's Hernanes, a player who plays further up the pitch. Vidal is best described as an all-action box-to-box midfielder who can really do it all. He would be a perfect fit next to Pirlo and Melo.
Indeed.
