Melo got one red card last season, same as Vidal. This season Vidal has received 10 yellow cards, 4 more than Melo the whole season last year. Licht gets yellow cards game after game for bitching. But none talks shiite, about that because of double standards. Melo has scored 10 goals so far for Galatasaray, same amount as Matri who is a striker.
C'mon dude, Vidal > Melo by a mile.
You can look at statistics but they don't tell the whole story. Vidal was much more involved in our game plan, and although he got what "4 more yellow cards" than Melo, I'm sure they were intelligent fouls, ensuring they couldn't punish us on the breaks. Vidal scored a lot more than Melo at Juventus too.
The Turkish league is not of the same quality as Serie A, that's why Melo is doing particularly well but once he moves back up to the big leagues you'd see him go back into the shadows unless he does another crazy stint, enters the headlines and earns another 3-match ban.
I'd prefer to have Vidal any day of the week, but Melo is still a great player to have on the squad. But if we do get an offer for 10M+ I'd gladly accept it.
