F. Spiksley Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 When he's bossing Championship midfields like Patrick Viera next season, they'll not be many on here saying it was a bizarre signing. This. To most I assume that he's a very obvious signing. Seriously, do we need to gamble on other players fitness and disciplinary issues regardless of their ability?

Swiss Toni Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I doubt he will be on more money than the likes of McCabe or Coke. It's a problem (luxury) I'd like to have than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Wasn't he picked up from the Portuguese 2nd tier? Captain of a mid-table Portuguese Premier Team... although they were in the second tier last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough...maybe his wage can be consolidated by the loss of the likes of McCabe, Corry and Coke then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes very quick accross the ground for a guy thats easy 6'4 maybe even nuhiu size. Huge bloke. Only takes one touch if he can, moves it about very quickly where's people like maguire that takes 100 touches to many and slows us down. Made a couple of crappy passes but both games were as good as lost when he came on He'll be a player for us next season, I think, class above what weve got by a mile Edited March 31, 2015 by parkerowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a full pre-season behind him and a bit longer to learn the lingo (heard that was an issue) and we may well have a solid player on our hands.

Guest TommyTank Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Melo is a signing for the next 2 or 3 seasons. He was brought in this season to adapt, ready for next season. Instead of having squad players like Coke, McCabe & Corry we will have squad players like Hutchinson, Semedo and Melo. Its called strengthening.

themaskedowl Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I could believe at times we might run with Semedo. Melo. A winger. McGugan. A winger. Striker. Also agree with those who think Melo might be more productive in going forward and that he is adding strength and depth to our squad. I guess we'll see in time. I'd be stunned if SG had no knowledge of his signing. Doesn't make sense to me. What does Grimbarian think of that? I know he looked into Melo a bit and iirc Melo's brother or cousin had said he was brought in with a view to next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.. Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I agree that Melo when up to speed will replace Semedo at times in a 442 and be alongside him at times in a 4231 as the opposition demands.

Yeah I posted the info from his cousin that was second hand from twitter so of course take with the usual pinch of salt but his cousin confirmed that he was bought primarily with an eye for next season onward.
