I have watched every Juve game this season and about 10 Udinese games and seriously, Melo's passing is significantly inferior to Inler's. Inler can actually make decent through balls and can make long balls while Melo can't.
And please don't bring on the table Melo's pass to Robinho against Holland, that's a once in a lifetime pass.
Not exactly imo. Sissoko of the last two years is not exactly better than Pazienza. So getting the later for free and with lower wages while selling Sissoko and his wages which are probably higher than what Pazienza's wages will be while not losing more or less nothing in terms of quality is a pretty good deal overall. And I do think Inler is better than Melo.
That's of course if we are to believe the rumours that Melo and Sissoko will go, and Inler and Pazienza will come.
