Losing out on Neto is a blessing in disguise. A couple stats:
Minutes played the last two seasons:
Bentancur: 2505
Richarlison: 2501
Neto: 2480
And I think that’s actually unfair Richy and Bentancur (who are extremely injury prone) because Neto is the first name on the teamsheet and Richy played behind Kane for a year and Lolo has had competition in the midfield.
More stats:
Neto’s 5 seasons at Wolves he’s played 6435 minutes. In Solanke’s two seasons since Bournemouth came back to the prem he’s played 6185 minutes. In Solanke’s last five seasons he’s played 15,356 minutes compared to Neto’s 6435 minutes.
Obviously you’ve gotta do more than just play, but health/fitness is 100% a skill.
