Maybe the Viola couldn't afford marchionni outright this year.
I'm somewhat excited by the prospect of signing Melo. Honestly more for the fact we are getting rid of marchionni and grygera meaning we will be signing a new Right back.
Not sure that Melo can give us what we need, I still think we need d'ago or same type of player of equal or higher caliber. I don't see Melo as a regista as much as I see d'ago as one.
Also, a new right back now and hopefully DC staying should make some "members" here happy as we would have wingbacks. I really have high hopes for DC, I just hope that he excels when given the chance. And next year we can bring Criscito back with another year of top flight playing time under his belt.
