I know. That's why I'm not too excited. Sure, he's probably great, but if he's gonna fail because of the system like Melo under Ferrara, then what the hell?
Melo-Pirlo-Vidal sounds ideal to me.
Neither me, but I know that he's not the type of player that we would need next to Pirlo if we insist on the 2-man mid, i.e. an actual DM that stays behind the play, in front the defence.
