Melo leaving is not a big loss for me, it's not that difficult to understand. It's not like we're losing much quality there and I would like for that area to improve.

The issue is his replacement and that's something different. According to others, Vidal is an improvement; I don't think I've seen anyone say otherwise. I don't know though, I can't pass judgement. I'm not saying it's a good or bad move.

I would actually like to see Melo-Pirlo-Vidal. Guess who's on the bench

so you dont know but you re ok with the decision to gt rid of him, this guy could be the next tiago and its ok with you, yep makes perfect sense. And i would love to hear the members who claim the bolded since i doubt any of them knew who this guy was beyond FM

He's good player, i've never denied that, he's too unreliable for my liking. Mistake prone
We could be better off with someone else, and I'm not convinced that Vidal is the One, we should've gone for Diarra.

He is one of our best players, but he needs to be kept in check at all times because you never know when he will go off. Vidal isn't the answer too. We do have the best player to pair with Pirlo, Sissoko, too bad he is being shipped around. We haven't had a deep lying MF that can pass and distribute nicely since Zanetti. Sissoko was a big hit then. He was running around hunting oppoenents down, then give a simple pass to Zanetti to do the distribution. Sissoko flopped because he was asked or in situations where he has to play long passes or keep the ball for long period of times, which has caused in the poor performances in the last couple of years. You need a pure destroyer holding MF next to the likes of Pirlo, that could tackle and run around tirelessly. He had Gatusso in Milan.

No doubt about that, That's why i said vidal is not the answer .

As I said, I don't know if Vidal's move will be good or bad. That's not what I said I was okay with. I obviously want Melo's replacement to be better than him.

If I said we're getting rid of Iaquinta and getting an unknown replacement from Serbia, Dusanov as his replacement, would you be "not okay" with it?

iaquinta is nowhere near our best attacker, and if dusanov was a promising youngster whose upside is still unknown id be all for it.

And Vidal, by most accounts is an improvement. I don't know this for myself, true. But as I feel we're not losing a lot with Melo going, I'm not upset, yet, I don't mind him staying.

 

[Itztli]

At the end of day, both Melo & Marchi are the least of our problems. We have other fish to fry before even getting rid of the two.

 

[Bezzy]

Can someone also think about the fact that melo isn't that good in the group.

 

[Kasaki]

No comment.

 

[adriano_c]

But Vidal should be partnering Melo not replacing him. It should be Momo or Claudio who is sold.

Yes.

Get rid of this joker

Potential doesn't supercede actuaries

 

[Klin]

Getting rid of this guy would be such a dumb move at this stage. We need to add more quality to the team, not replace it.

you guys have probably heard/read this already but still:

GdS says that, if the lates news is to believed, Melo and Amauri are not travelling with Juve to the US.
Corinthians has reportedly stepped forward in their bid to take him back to Brazil; interest from PSG and Galatasaray is also being mentioned.

 

[suligodsilla]

for the vidal fans:

yeah wow very good lets get him and put him instead of a already adapted melo. you guys are a shame.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

That was so Melo-esque.

oh come on, I can do that, youtube debate

robben deserved that melo just did what everybody would do but vidal made a mistake.

 

[ZoSo]

If we sell Melo, we will then have like 4 central midfielders besdies youth - Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio and Pazienza

I can't believe you guys want to sell Melo, he is one of our 3-4 players that besides his temper, could actually be starting 11 in a WC team [Buffon, Chiellini and Melo. (Pirlo & Krasic maybe)]. He is by far our best midfielder, a juventino and when on form is a rapist. I don't see us linked with any midfielders besides Vidal & Poli. Neither of them are actual replacements for him and if we sell him and don't get a very good/solid midfield destroyer, I won't be happy.

is that your basis for not wanting him? or at least preferring melo over him? please..that weak...i do not see anything big in melo leaving...his contribution to the side i am sure can easily be passed..
