If he was on our bench instead of Piazenza, giving an occasional hand, he would though.
As his performances were never bad and only lost his price due to the fact we were ranked 7th twice in row.
It was an extremely stupid decision to loan him out and we risk to maximize our capital loses.
As for Krasic, despite doing far worse than Melo, as long as we have a good momentum and #, his price inflates.
Considering we didnt gave a fortune to get him, we can minimize losses at his case.
The problem is though, that we are forcing our selves to buy a new winger and this is not a wise move at this point.

I think that it's pretty obvious that we're not doing that. If anything, the 4-3-3 makes it clear that we're having way too many wingers.
It was unknown before the season if we're gonna play 4-3-3 or 4-4-2. We did get many wingers since the plan was to start with 4-4-2, as we in fact did in the first matches. After switching to 4-3-3 with Vucinic becoming a sure starter, we found ourselves with too many wingers.
We have: Pepe, Giaccherini, Estigarribia, Krasic and Elia, with only one of them being a starter and two of them almost regularly find themselves in the stands.
What we will do for sure is to get rid of some of our wingers and replace them with attackers or not replace them at all.
In the 4-3-3 we play we need 3 attacking players for the starting XI and three to act as their replacements. Right now we have 12 players who can play only in the last 3 of the 4-3-3 (Vucinic, DP, Matri, Iaquinta, Toni, Amauri, Quag, Pepe, Giac, Esti, Krasic, Elia) while we need only 6 there.
In other words, at least 6 of them aren't needed. If we bring Giovinco back as it's rumoured, then 7 of the named 12 players aren't needed.

2 or 3 wingers should leave, my choice in preferred order:
1. Krasic will leave, because he is a player that has no use to us at the moment. Now is the time to sell, last season is not completely forgotten yet. We can get 10 mil € for him that is what we payed for Vidal.
2. Giaccherini, because he is not ours 100%, we need another 5 mil € for him to stay here, I'd rather we spend that in other areas.
3. Estigarribia for the same reason. I just think he has a higher ceiling than Giaccherini. Could be useful, the question is if he is worth the cash?
This 3 out, Giovinco and Damiao in and our attack will be solid.
Quag, Matri, Damiao
Vucinic, Elia, Giovinco, Pepe, *Estigarribia

Looks likely he'll be gone in Jan. Really disappointing that he couldn't repeat his early form but I guess he won't be a a great loss considering his last 12 months. It all went downhill last December when he missed that chance against Chievo on the break. Overall he has nothing but pace, not heaps of skill, just some, and little intelligence.
If he does leave I can only hope that we replace him with someone worthwhile.
