1 - It's lower risk financially in the short term at least, I just don't think what Hermoso wants in terms of wages and contract length is viable, I'm sure we can negotiate Chelsea to contribute a portion of the wage too. Badiashile is earning something like £4.5 mill gross a year, I think even that is somewhat viable, and if hermoso doesn't work out we're stuck with his wages and contract.
2 - I'm fully aware he flopped last season but to be honest with the exception of Cole Palmer hardly anyone covered themselves in glory, but what I do know and have seen is his time at Monaco, I feel he is a better fit in the way we hope to play.
3 - Do we really have any other decent and viable options?

FI reporting that we actually are monitoring a fifth GK - Kelleher from Liverpool. 
So; Cambiasso Bremer Weak spot another weak spot; D.Luiz Thuram; Yildiz Koop N.G; Vlahovic
CB is a must otherwise we wont make it to CL next year
RB is obviously needed but not as a CB
So if we dont get a really good CB this season is going to waste.
LW is also needed as even if we believe in Yildiz, he cant play all the minutes. We need an alternative that will replace him when needed (or even better replace him in the starting 11) and pushes him to realize his potential.

Just a reminder to everyone. As it stands, the only players that we have lost from last year's squad are: Sandro, Alcaraz, Iling Junior, Rabiot and Kean. We have added Di Gregorio, Cabal, Douglas Luiz, Thuram and Adzic. Fagioli is like a new acquisition given he was banned for most of last year.
The fact that squad looks thin is because a lot of players have been frozen out. Szczesny, De Sciglio, Rugani, McKennie, Chiesa, Kostic. (Milik I think is back in the project but recovering).
We came 3rd in the league last year and played terrible football. I would argue that overall, our midfield is stronger whereas there is not much change in Defence and Attack at this point.
Just thought its worth highlighting for context as many believe the team is disasterous. Worst case, if we can't get the players we want, we could choose to reintroduce the players frozen out - not ideal but that is the worst case scenario.
