Fiorentina want MArchionni...as to why? I can do no better than guess that their version of our Molinaro, is their current right winger...i.e. a player of the field totally incompetent as a footballer, worthy of not respect, but solely pity.
The thing is, Marchionni is our second most consistently useless player. He played a lot last season and produced fuck-all to justify his position in the squad let alone the first XI. His crossing, finishing and ability to retain possession, were more often than not, appalling...which is why I find it so strange that another team would want him.
Still, if he is off to florence, then I would hope to grab at least 5m from the deal...Now if Melo has a 21m release clause, we could pay 16m for him, maybe lower that figure more by including other players.
I understand the differences between D'ago and Melo. I also agree with everyone who is saying thet OUR PRIORITY IS LEFT BACK, THEN CENTRAL DEFENCE, THEN RIGHT BACk...though, I have some hope and belief that Zebina can, if he remains fit, be a solid force on the right flank for us this season...Still, if our board are determined to sign someone quality for the middle of the park, i would prefer Melo. He is no visionary like D'ago, but his game is more versatile and he has more strength.
Marchisio Melo Sissoko
Diego
would be world class. Not straight away. Claudio is quality already, but he will become better, as there is still potential to be tapped. Momo also, needs to continue improving his distribution, but such is the majesty of his DESTROYER routine, he already ranks as world class...Some games he plays, he is everywhere, and un-passable.
Marchisio can pass, he is also mobile, strong in the challenge and physically able. Momo is a Monster.
so we add in either Melo, a burly but cultured brazilian, or Dago, a lighter weight, considerably more creative sicilian...my blood demands Dago, but my head and heart say Melo, as we would have three brazilians...and for some reason, I always class Zebina as a brazilian...because he reminds me of Socrates from the early Pro Evolution games on the playstation.
