Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto are quite controversial figures among the Chelsea fan base.
As a result, on TalkingPoints, The Chelsea Chronicle decided to run a poll on who supporters would rather keep.

Unsurprisingly, it was almost too close to call! But in the end, there was a slight preference out of Garnacho and Neto.
Chelsea fans would rather keep Alejandro Garnacho than Pedro Neto
Again, Garnacho and Neto are not the most popular players at Stamford Bridge, but if one had to stay and the other go, it looks like fans would keep the former.
Fifty-one per cent of supporters who voted in our poll went for the 21-year-old, perhaps because of his recent form.

Garnacho has been a shining light for Chelsea of late, putting in a great performance against Wrexham in the FA Cup last weekend.
The Argentina international played a key role in Wrexham’s own goal before scoring a volley in extra time to put Chelsea 3-2 in front.
Before that, he provided an assist to Joao Pedro in the Blues’ 4-1 win against Aston Villa in the Premier League. In contrast, Neto has really struggled recently.
Neto was sent off against Arsenal at the start of the month and has not scored a league goal this year.
Pedro Neto has been the more important player this season
Garnacho may be the more in-form player right now, but Neto had a period earlier in the campaign when he was really effective.
What do you rate about Alejandro Garnacho’s game?

In total, he has scored five goals and provided four assists in the Premier League this term. Neto has also played over 2000 minutes in the top flight, according to Transfermarkt, whereas Garnacho has only recorded 990.
Ultimately, the Portuguese has been the more important member of Chelsea’s squad. Still, being younger and having more potential, the Blues probably would keep Garnacho and sell his teammate if they ever had to choose between the two.
With Geovany Quenda arriving this summer, maybe they will have to at some point.
