Be interested in the comparison of their pressing and turnovers in opp half.

As disappointing as Kulu was last season, his greatest strength for me, essential in the Ange system is the press and turnover.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to find pressure/pressing metrics publicly now, since fbref stopped doing them. My guess would Neto’s aren’t great compared to Kulusevski- but they play for very different coaches. Pressing can be coached. Their physical attributes and what they do on the ball is much harder to coach.

I’d take a punt on Neto over Kulusevski all day.

No chance he walks. Ange hit the jackpot with this job, this is the biggest salary he'll have ever had by a huge factor. No way he willingly walks away from 3 years of Prem wages and his kids being set up for life.

That said, he could well be gone by Nov, if we start the season in a similar vein to the way we ended the last one and Levy's trigger finger gets twitchy.

I’d have both in my squad

60m for Neto is a lot though

Maybe I would - but we would need someone to take over Kulu's press and turnovers.

Never been impressed by Onana, never really watched much of him or consciously tried to take any notice of his performances either.

Am I doing this forum football expert thing right?
