Etienne has no resemblance to the player Hernandez described. Did they do this just to save face?

"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff

I guess either core player means something different to Hernandez or that core player fell through and this was back up plan #1.
Apparently the latter.
I'm not especially upset about the trade, especially if Atlanta is eating cap hit. He seems like a gamble, but there's upside, I don't especially see a nailed on starter though unless, as someone suggested, he could take over Osos role and we drop Oso further back but it seems this guy is more of a winger? Either way, I neither love nor hate this, will definitely see how it plays out.
But I do have to admit your comment was my first instinct, too, and I truly hope they aren't that stupid and shortsighted but...you can only judge a horse by the races it has run and all that...
Columbus fans say he's very talented but massively inconsistent. He runs hot and cold.
He had one really good season going into free agency, which prompted Atlanta to take him on. Then he couldn't hold down a starting spot, blew a few chances, lost confidence.
I'd say he's a gamble as a starter but better depth than a lot of what we've got now. Perhaps Herdman things methodological change can improve his consistency. To our benefit, he's going into prime years for his position.
I wonder how Herdman plans to use him; that'll be interesting. Don't think he's a wingback type; more likely they put him underneath the striker, beside Insigne and replacing him when he can't play.
