do you realize NO IT ISNT! we paid 25 million for melo , which we over paid he had a horrible season and a slightly better season, he is worth 10 million tops! thats 30-35 million between the two stories of the offers being 20 mil or 25 mill plus . Melo is no way shape or form worth 20 million when Vidal is worth 18 to 20. You guys are trippin
Melo 10mln tops? Vidal 18-20mln?

Okay.

We could have probably coped with the injury of our most important player Quag but the redcard by Melo came in the worst possible moment and the mentally weak team collapsed (btw one of the main reasons for the psychological weakness of our team in Melo).
The entire team having a poor mentality is certainly not Melo's fault and he can't be held accountable for them not being able to handle Parma and conceding four goals. Even if we played with nine players that should never have happened. The next next three games, again, shouldn't have been much of an issue if Melo was nothing more than a "good player" (read - interchangeable). After all, we had a supposed-leader in Marchisio waiting to step into his favoured CM role, no?

Saying he's one of the "main reasons" for the team being mentally fragile also makes no sense. His absence should have strengthened the team according to this view.

Trying to rest the blame for the team's implosion on this guy's shoulders only suggests he is (was) an essential player.

Simply "good" players aren't essential unless their alternatives are literally ball boys or something.

I nominee this post as the funniest post of the year :tup:

Thing is that I have a bad feeling that our board rate our players as low as that while throwing millions and millions away for the likes of Martinez and Pepe.

Dear God, why is our board so obsessed with bringing in a new attacker? :sigh:

for me melo is worth 14 million plus another 12 million for being brazilian like de rossi is worth 19 million plus another 12 million for being italian, lets not get into this football valuations are messed up look at K.P boateng 7 million euros milan spent on him and he is probably he best midfield player they have.

If we can't get more than 15m for Melo then we shouldn't sell him at all.

Melo, Krasic, Chiellini and Buffon are the players we shouldn't sell if the financial offer won't be a great one. Those are the only four players in our squad who can be starters in the team we're aiming to become.

I reckon he is like 14 - 17m (I mean, Melo).

Anyway, watching Vidal games at CA i do not think he i MUCH better than Melo. He is really good with sliding tackles and for sure defenively looks very well but the difference between these two is just small in my point of view.

If we can get Vidal for 10 - 12m and than someone take Melo from us (like... 15m?) I will assess that kind of deal positevely. But I do not think that this change will gain us any HUGE BOOST OF QUALITY, comparing to what we have now.

who you would prefer us to get from the players we can realisticly get ?


Aguero is the closest thing to a Del piero hier, if you didn't watch him enough, no need to attack other members.
You are not the only one who has seen him play. He is VERY overrated both by his club (naturally I guess) and Juve fans on this forum.

have to agree with the over rated and this is what bothers me. Fans on here are willing to piss away 45 million in euros for this guy without a second thought then pay him 7.5 million a year for the next 5 but I say 20-25 million for rossi with 3.7 million a year over the 5 is more logical and a better move and im shit on .
