What makes Melo proven? 1 good season in Fiorentina? And why you think that Dago cant defend? He had better statistics than Melo last season. Dont get me wrong, I also like Melo, but I think that Dago fits better in our formation...
Fiorentina > Udine and he also showed that he can cope pretty well and shine among players like Kaka. What Dago has shown more??
1 good season with Udinese??
What Dago can do, which Melo cant?? And we still dont know precisely our formation, Melo being more complete and versatile has more chances to fit in.
Anyway, i really doubt that Secco can make it happen...
D'Agostino assists a lot more.
Thats really debatable, in the some team, system and position, Dago is not so much better assister than Melo.
They are both great passers and have great tactical awareness.
But Melo seems to be more dynamic, anticipate the opposition movements and efficiently do smth about it...
Because we cannot be certain about their role in our team and because the Dago has (if any) a marginal advantage in offence but left more to be desired in defense -> Melo the complete player who can fit in more system better+More proven at the highest level -> less chances to become the new Almiron/Tiago.
