His tackling is far from brilliant for a central midfielder, but what is worse is his apparent lack of positional intelligence, and ability to read the flow of the game. They are essential qualities for a player to be succesful in the middle of the field, especially in a 3 man midfield, of which one player will be mainly creative. If we do get Inler, who is the kind of player I think Marchisio wants to be, a similar mould of sorts, but far more accomplished and developed, then it makes no sense at all, to play marchisio instead of melo, who is stronger, far more eager and capable in the challenge, as good on the ball, and a better reader of the game, also bigger...
I would be happy to see him as Inler's understudy/challenger...as that role could bring out his best. But defensively speaking, he is a shadow of Melo.

no, you are mistaken, in understanding what I meant...its as is it is written, this season especially, when Melo was asked to play in a role natural to his talents, his positioning was brilliant, his interceptions were top drawer, and he consistently bossed the midfield, when others were flagging. Melo is no world beater, but he is always Present, always wanting to get involved, and only ever drifts out of a game if he gets sent off, which he did only once in a stupid way this season, which can be forgiven, given the rest of his input to the team.
Of course you can argue that marchisio followed instructions to 'DO NOT try to impose yourself on the midfield area. DO NOT fly into tackles like a spartiate. DO keep yourself out of the thick of things, watch the game go by around you'...if those were his instructions, i agree with you, he is very capable of following instructions.
I do think he could be useful as a box to box midfielder, but needs to work much harder on his tackling, reading of the game and passing, also physical strength, and heading...in all of which areas of technique and natural talent, my opinion is, that Melo is superior.
I am not knocking your opinion, and accept it as a different point of view. i am happy that others have more hope in marchisio than me, and hope i am proven wrong about him next season and he flies out the blocks with renewed vigour and has his best season yet.

I just read that Pozzo wants 18M for Inler. Is he rating Denis' half at 6M now? 
Inler's agent already agreed terms with us, and on Inler's facebook page Crapoli fans were insulting him, because he wanted to join a big club, and told them to G.T.F.O. Inler is our player IMO, this guy should accept our offer.people should stop trying to push their beloved although failling players in their lineup like marchisio.
we should look at our most promising players, shape a formation around them, and use this mercato to bolster that formation to make it work
melo+inler backing up pirlo is a way of doing that
trying to fix marchisio in the team at cost of inler or melo, just because he looks good, or is a juventus yought product, or tends to say all kind of heroic shit he never performs on the pich, its all complete nonsens
