Show me the Pirlo stats before I show you the Kulu stats
Or straight swap but we need a middle man

did hakan convince you then? with what?
calhanoglu's shots are good, he's got slightly better defending potential (he was decent at it in leverkusen, shit at milan, but it can be a tactical choice as he plays higher on the pitch usuall), otherwise i think de paul is arguably the better player. much better vision, better runs forward, better workrate, more useful in the box, similarly good passing, more physical, and he can actually dribble, unlike most cm's. hakan is also too soft for my liking. i saw de paul live a couple of years ago vs juve, he was going for the duels. gonna check this later, i bet he's got much better duel success rate than hakan, and that's something our mids are completely shit in.
cost wise, hard to beat calhanoglu on a bosman though. de paul on a 5-year contract, 30m transfer, 3,5m net wages would cost 3-3,5m more than calhanoglu on a free transfer & 5m net. i hope agnelli won't let tici sign hakan before the end of june, and the new sports director will go for de paul instead, despite the slightly higher overall cost.
