Rodrigo Hernandez - Atletico confirm deal - p192

[ChicagoBlue]

Glad we’re getting him in relatively early. We know it takes some players a while to totally adapt to Pep’s style. Nearly every player gets better second season. Christ, we could still be improving. What a thought.

He already plays the Pep way. It’s just a matter of getting him up to speed on the frenetic pace of the English game. The two friendliest against WHU and TBD will help him see it, but until you experience it full on, I think you don’t fully understand it!

Also, let’s realize, he is not going to walk into a starting role here. There’s a little matter of Fernandinho to get past...and not many do, especially while remaining on their feet!!

This could be an excellent season for him, as he works his way into the side, not too much pressure, but also another strong midfielder to bolster our midfield in Europe, which is where we ship waaaaaaay too many goals.

Does this kid have any weaknesses?

A bit slow off the mark. But he's intelligent enough that Guardiola will make sure it's not a problem.

He might get some game time early doors if the players on Copa America duty need to take 4 weeks off

Reasons to be cheerful!!!

We waited for the right guy, and we got the right guy!!!

Super looking forward to this lad slotting in and commanding centrally.

Has Fernandinho played? I only watched the Argie game last night and he was on the bench all night.

Not a negative, just an observation.
