Marchisio doesn't commit as many pointless fouls or give the ball away nearly as much. Id argue Marchisio has a better grasp, since overall, his play is much more intelligent than Nocerino.
Most importantly, Marchisio fills a role in midfield we are missing. Sissoko does the same job as Nocerino and is much better. I dont see the point in sending Marchisio on loan for another season, and if our management are telling the truth, neither do they.
