BTW Madueke and Neto have roughly the same minimal number of goals in English football but Neto has played about a 100 games more. clownlake masterclass. 

One has played for Wolves since his time in the Prem.. a dogshit attacking side, literally carrying that team on his back whilst Madueke has played in a side that dominates possession and on average attacks more in the game than defending.

 

plus… im sure Neto has far more assists per game.

Can Neto play LW? 

I remember every time I watched him he has been brilliant, but isn't he a RW? 

I've definitely seen him play left wing, albeit only on Match of The Day.

I thought I was out of the loop on the Neto transfer having not visited this site in days.. turns out the deal was out of the blue...

He's two footed. 

It's not the goals it's his technical ability with the ball. Low centre of gravity and a tidy dribbler in tight areas. He's perfect for that isolated winger role in Enzo's system. Can even play centrally too.

If Neto stays fit, ooft a much better player than Madueke for me. That is if he can stay fit though.

Last 4 or 5 seasons is proof enough he can’t though. For whatever reason.

Definitely a talented boy though & maybe on second thoughts £54m for someone of that talent IF he was fit the whole time would be a good deal. 

Surely when we are considering buying a player their injury record isn’t considered though, we will be the first team ever to have a first 11 and 9 subs in the treatment room at this rate 🤣

Just to be clear I like Neto. 🙂

Romano claims he knew about it but was told to stay quiet by all parties

I know but come on. Neto has been in PL basically forever. Madueke also has played for dogshit Eindhoven scoring vs Ac Milan in CL . Neto definitely has his qualities and I don’t mind him playing LW for us at all. but madueke is the more efficient goslscorer, so I just hope rumours of such an „upgrade“ are BS.

Still in discussions about Osimhen

You'll never be happy about anything my man

Neto has more assists last year than Madueke has had in his entire career I think. They play quite differently though and personally I hope & expect we are keeping both.

Its in the public response about his lack of goals. It will be interesting to see how he does in a more progressive set up vs the counter attacking football that Wolves played. 

But again, his quality isn't goals its what he offers with the ball in tight areas that highlights his strengths. Two footed as well.

Neto's assists per minutes is only behind De Bruyne in the league. People flagging his lack of goalscoring should watch where he usually plays on the pitch. He's superb

Petrovic had an average season. Most of his underlying numbers were among the worst for keepers. Not sure why he gets all this praise here. Between him and Sanchez, they've made the right call for Maresca's playing style

 

Not praising him. I also think he is average. I was just pointing out that Sanchez is worse and should be the first one sold but for some reason he is being spoken about as our No.1. 

[Fulham Broadway 17,332]

We should keep Madueke. 

Just an opinion, like arseholes, we all have them

Glad to see some of us don't have to slate 3very player that comes in. If he stays fit he's class. Massive improvement on what we have 

[Strike 7,492]

Jorgensen, James, Tosin, Lavia, KDH, Neto, Nkunku Palmer, Samu

All possibly in the starting XI. We will be a new team altogether this season

God forbid if there's another injury crises I think we are better equipped to cope with it now vs last season.

Because of what Maresca needs from the keeper, it makes sense to offload Petrovic.

[King Kante 1,643]

Neto is a very good player when fit. The problem is keeping him fit. People should also not worry too much about his stats, the guy works his socks off and does all the work no one else wants to do. He'll essentially allow Palmer be the luxury player whilst chipping in. 

As for Noni, he should stay.

Could use a slimmer squad. There are about 50 players now lol
