Btw, just to make things PERFECTLY CLEAR....
Felipe Melo was born on 26 July 1983. He will turn 26 in 3 weeks.
D'Agostino was born on 3 June 1982. He turned 27 last month.
So D'Agostino is 1 year, 1 month and 23 days older than Melo.
So when you say that Melo is younger you're obviously right, but the way you say it i have a feeling that you think it's some big difference which isn't the case at all.
Then again, the age of the two players is the last thing we should be looking at when choosing which one of the two we should get.
Oh, and Osman, i'm sure you're right about Melo in his Almeria days, and i know for sure that he's not a Makelele or Deschamps type of DMC. But watching him often for Fiorentina and watching most of the matches he played for Brazil, he's as close as it gets to pure DMC.
