Bisco, wether saying it rudely or not, its about saying Emerson, a world class player who was at worst top 3 in his position in the world back then (we OWNED the midfields all season long due to his dominant ballwinning ways), to be awful, its INSANE (and I dont even like Emerson and never did).
And second, even comparing him to Melo, let alone say he is better, when Melo though has good qualities, has shown SHIT yet, has had good games, but has had brainless and sketchy ones, and so far his career is about one good season with Fiorentina. To say he makes one of the most dominant DMs of few years ago look awful, is just downright clueless BS.
