I think it suits him that league as he looked as slow as he did.

Iron Man Melo!

Good luck to the fella. It didn’t work out here for him, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. He had missed a lot of football so he hired a team to help him maximize his return - nutrition, fitness etc. and I got the impression he was putting in an extra shift to grab his chance at Liverpool with both hands… but then he broke down.

He’s a decent player but he didn’t get to show it here. He likely isn’t at the level we need now either, as it has all moved on again, but a slower league seems to suit him.

On a human level good luck to him. Nice to see him playing.

He did. It was explicitly reported that he was doing double duty to get ready. I put my head in my hands and said “this is something you cannot rush. This is the path to…argh fuck he’s injured himself already”

And then he never played again

Bought into the “intensity is our identity” thing.

:joy:

Does Arthur Melo actually qualify as an ‘ex player’?

“Competitive”…down by 3 and playing with a goal of not being even more embarrassed

They’re just mad about me.
They call me Melo Yellow…

Could be called a youth starlet as he played enough times for them.
