If you say so buddy :)Point stands and will continue to stand, if it were that simple it would've been done, dusted & announced long ago - wouldn't go patting yourself on the back should it materialize in the end
I can honestly say I have never watched him play. Or if I have, I wasn’t paying attention to him. So what is he? A Busquets clone? If not, where does he differ to Busquets? I can’t imagine his passing through the lines would already be Busquets level?
Realistically who is the competition? It's already pretty widely thought he's the best at it in Spain, was definitely better than Busquets last season.
So who is he even competing with? Most teams don't have someone like him as a solo defensive midfield/pivot. Matic? Fabinho in England? Witsel and Javi Martinez in Germany?
I'd argue his biggest competition is going to be his teammate next season.
Kante and De Jong are the best two at the moment probably.
Kante is about as similar to Rodrigo as Aguero is. They're completely different players doing completely different roles.
Kante could be a pivot in a midfield 3 and be the best in the world at it. He just tends to be in a 2 in a 4-2-3-1 wherever he plays, like De Jong.
I really like Kante but I think your seriously under estimating the skill set required to play in this specialist position. Kante does not posses the passing ability to play as a single pivot.Kante could be a pivot in a midfield 3 and be the best in the world at it.

No he cant because hes a destroyer and nothing else. He cant dictate play, he cant help you huimd up, hes only great when you've not got the ball.
You simply cannot compare him to rodrigo, Busquets or De Jong.
