Always thought he looked good at centre.

That I totally agree. Meli performed well at centre and we really could have done with Meli in the centres and signed another winger for this year.

Best winger at the club IMO but its the correct decision as we do need to move on and bring fresh approach to the squad.

We just need a few more to follow him and replace them with younger better quality

Letting our best winger by far leave and keeping Wellens, is a step in the right direction?????????

There was always a question regarding meli's defence but his finishing has been outstanding and still is.

I think St Pete put it well above. He's our most dangerous outside back and is still a good player. But the club needs to kick on and progress and as he'll be 35 by next season, it's the right time to do it.

Giving Wellens a new deal is not acceptable in any scenario, hopefully the club see that.

That's exactly my point. The club has gone stale and a change is needed of a change. I think 5/6 player change over is needed to freshen the place up.

We wouldn't be in this mess if previous coaches and McManus had brought new blood in gradually over the years. We left it to long and this is what we got.

I remember getting slated on here for predicting that this would happen. Even top teams need to bring new blood in and get shut of deadwood. We didnt do that and now we are paying the price.
