I'm sorry that people here think Melo is whoring himself out. He isn't the most intelligent player around, but he does have a lot of heart. And he needs to feel loved and needed where he is. It's just who he is as a person and player. And if he feels he's not being respected, id believe it, seeing how Diego, Gio and Trez have been treated only a year ago. Unfortunately he tends to shoot his mouth off a bit, and his actions on the pitch can leave a lot to be desired, but at least hes a guy with balls who probably cares more about this club than Marrotta seemingly does. And why just Melo? Wouldnt any player feel disrespected being used as a bargaining chip in every deal mentioned in the media, with nobody coming out and denying those rumours From within the club? So what if he let's his emotions get the better off him, it doesn't disregard the crux of what is being said. Every player needs to feel integral to his team, and Melo is no different. He probably expresses it more immaturely than your average joe would, but heck, id rather have a player like him who has put in his time doing all he can on the field, including the odd red card, rather than a Pazienza whose coming here because it's a 'lifestyle choice'. Not even comparing their skills, just their temperaments. At the end of the day, it's up to this club to start making players feel like they're part of the 'project' because some actually give a damn, unlike the people running this poor show.
