Honestly as much as I like Melo if the money used for his transfer turn out to be the money we lack for a decent LB&RB, this transfer would turn into the the next major disaster.
I hope the Agnellis decided to pour some money into the club and the signature of Melo is not going to jeopardize our most important targets: Santacroce and a very good LB. But I think that we can find those players within another 15 mils at maximum and now we have enough players to sell to achieve that.
Our Midfield is just TOO much: Marchisio, Sissoko, Melo, Tiago, Poulsen, Zanetti, Ekdal, Camoranesi, Diego, Giovinco = ten players - we could field a squad of midfielders along Gigi...
Reminds me a bit of Capello's DMF obsession.
And I almost forgot our hidden GEM: Almiron.
