No, I don't really agree with that. We play a system that we like, that suits us, and if Carlos can't find his way into that system where he can contribute effectively, then he'll have to move on. That won't mean he's a bad player, it will just mean he's not got the game that we need him to have to play here.
He has serious talent, we've all seen that at different times, but he does have weaknesses in his game that stop him from playing effectively at either of the two positions we have open for him. Maybe he'll go on loan, find his form, and improve his game enough to make it here? Or maybe he'll go on loan to Spain, play as a second striker, bang in a load of goals, and then move on, and always be the talented but limited player that he is? Either way, this loan is a big one for him.
Point on Hernandez is that if you put him up front on his own in our system, where Vela has occasionally been asked to play, his lack of touch, lack of awareness, poor passing ability, lack of strength, poor hold-up play, and an inability to drop deep and link play, would all be badly exposed, and he'd look a poor player - albeit a poor player that can finish well, just like Vela. Hernandez was bought by United with a specific role in mind, a more developed and expensive footballer. Vela was bought 5 years ago, as a special talent, yet to be developed, and we've changed our system about 5 times since then, too! Just unfortunate really, but it's up to him to develop his all-round game and become a better player if he wants to make it here. We ask alot of the individual players in our team, they've got to be good at alot of different things.
