There is no doubt that one of the biggest transfers of the summer was Barcelona<\/a> signing Rodri<\/a> from Manchester City. The Catalans had not planned to bring in a new midfielder, but when it became clear that the 30-year-old would be available, they moved quickly to secure his services in a deal that was worth approximately \u20ac65m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI never thought I would see another Busquets\u2026 And here I am seeing one! I don\u2019t know if he is better than Busquets or not, because that would lead us to another debate. But, again, Bar\u00e7a have another Busquets. Busquets never won the Ballon d\u2019Or, but he also played with Xavi and Iniesta, who didn\u2019t win it either. Rodri makes the team completely different just with his presence.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cHis way of playing, his vision of the game and his ability to anticipate danger and stop the opponent are masterful skills. It\u2019s really different and we know that, and we hope he maintains his physical condition for them.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Barcelona have started the season with a bang, recording four successive victories in La Liga<\/a> by an aggregate scoreline of 17-2. They are emerging as early contenders for another fantastic campaign under Flick\u2019s tutelage, and Henry is backing his former club to make waves \u2013 especially now that they have Rodri as their player.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
