Rodrigo Hernandez - Atletico confirm deal - p192

I see your point, but he did an alright job on us at Stamford Bridge last season.

When he played as a number 8 with Jorginho playing pivot...

Smash and grab stuff from Chelsea though, and Kante was at the forefront of that.

What part of we don’t play that style do to struggle with?

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?

Not seen him play a lot but from what I've seen he's got quite some attributes.
Faster than Demichaelis, more assured than Mangala and more of a beast than Zinchenko

I had questions about his pace but that settles that then. Phewwww

I was faster than Demichelis when I was 3 months old.

That does sound promising.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Pep go with Rodri and Fern in a starting 11, against Spurs or Liverpool away.

A rarity for Pep, I know but it will be good to have that option, where Liverpool for instance to start with their workmanlike midfield three across the middle.

I think Fern as a number 8, on occasion in the same team as Rodri, would give us even more balance defensively against certain sides, but also unlock the attacking quality Fern has in his locker, particularly when he was at
Shaktar, where he was brilliant as an attacking midfielder.

Sounds good news.
Height & heading, tackling ability, football intelligence & only 22. Be interesting to see how much he improves under Pep.
