Mario Melchiot could be on his way back to his former club, Ajax. Now Ronald Koeman, the Ajax manager, has admitted: "If we are still well-placed in the Champions League when the transfer window opens again in January, then I will be looking to strengthen and Mario is the kind of versatile footballer who would benefit us. He is a genuine talent who can play across the defence or in midfield and that is rare." According to the Sun, Super Mario would cost £4.5m.
Melchy has been geting a lot of stick, mostly from the boo boys though it must be said, and hasn't exactly lit up any games to date. I personaly think he is much better to usin the wing back position as that is his strength, when he plays right full in a static 4 at the back he is average on a good day whilst occasionally puting in a decent performance. He gained notoriety i think last season after we stufed the scum at old trafford and he headed in the first of the three.he played a decent game there, but, mostly didn't reach that high a performance again forthe rest of the season. Also, i would add that the problems of the left back position have somewhat over shadowed his mundane performances. If we had Le Saux from the start of the season i'm quite sure the attention would be quite a bit more focused on him. However. All that being said, can we afford to let him go though?
