That contract that laporta drafted for him was almost going to be perfect in hindsight. If not for that bloody +1 activation clause from the player side. Some games he is as good as if there were nobody in his position.
He is a time bomb both in defense and possession . He is not lacking in attitude or work .. he just seems to be lacking inherent quality. Heavyweight Opponents will easily channel their timed pressing on him u can count on that.
With Bernal impressive size and the fact that our CBs play very high, I see no reason why not try to play Bernal as a center back (lefty too) to eventually replace an old Inigo. Also a good thing to allow Arujo to leave for money.
