Mason Mount has been absolutely transformative. Been absolutely outstanding in every aspect of football and life.
Well I have seen so little is hard to on the guy to give him the full underwhelming.
Whether or not he ends up being a success, the Onana transfer made complete sense.All transfers from last summer should be invesigated.
Onana
Mount
Rasmus.
JFC, did any club have so manny bad signings in one summer.
I agree with that.Whether or not he ends up being a success, the Onana transfer made complete sense.
Not limited to Mount, but I find it insane how often people want to believe the version of events, even if it's entirely fictionalised in their minds, that makes the club/Ten Hag look as bad as possible, when there is context and facts out there being reported by incredibly reasonable people. Just listening to Talk of the Devils, which is a couple of hours a week commitment, gives so much information from some top Utd related journalists regarding things going on at the club. Whitwell in particular is evidently a very committed journalist with strong ethics.Ten hag has explicitly said in an interview with Andy Mitten that it had nothing to do with a loan spell in the Dutch league as it was a short spell when he was a teenager and it would be daft to ask for mount based on that alone ! This was said by Mitten in the talk of the devils podcast where he and multiple other united journalists also state that it wasn't Ten hag that specifically asked for mount but that he was presented as a viable target and he gave the green light (ie didn't use his veto). There's no need to spin absolutely everything to pin crap transfers on the manager.
Which version of events. You mean actual facts. So lets look at his signings that played for him: Martinez, Antony, Onana, Ambrabat (50 times at Utrecht); then those that played against him in Dutch league: Mount, Malacia, Weghorst. By all accounts Mount was MoTM against Ajax and Malacia had Antony in his pocket vs Ajax. So nearly 2/3 of his signings are in this category. Is this really some increbile coincidence or random outcome? As we have next seen anything like this in a top European team before.Not limited to Mount, but I find it insane how people want to believe the version of events, even if it's entirely fictionalised in their minds, that makes the club/Ten Hag look as bad as possible, when there is context and facts out there being reported by incredibly reasonable people.

Again, he addressed this very clearly in his interview. But you choose to believe your own theory - it's fine. It's somewhat deluded, but it's fine.Which version of events. You mean actual facts.

What he says and what he does are clearly two different things.Again, he addressed this very clearly in his interview. But you choose to believe your own theory - it's fine. It's somewhat deluded, but it's fine.
I think Ten Hag definitely has a thing about signing his 'own' players but I've always found the Mount connection a bit of a stretch - yes faced him back in the day in the Dutch league, but then he also faced James Madison more recently in the Premier League. If we had signed Madison rather than Mount, would we be using that argument?
He’s not injured at the moment apparently. He suffers from mental health issues and that’s why he’s out .He wasn't fit more than 2 weeks since season started. Bloody hell, something must be very wrong with our medical stuff. Every injury is at least month long.
Seriously? I thought it is just BS gossipHe’s not injured at the moment apparently. He suffers from mental health issues and that’s why he’s out .
Or maybe he just rates Mason Mount? After all, Mount wasn’t one of his ex players when he tried to sign him for Ajax.Erik tried to sign Mason at Ajax, then went and signed him at United. He clearly has a blind spot for players he ‘knows’.
Not sure if serious but I believe there is a lot of upsideI like him. Will turn out to be an excellent signing.
I also think he's far better than what he has showed so far. For starters he has not yet been played in what I believe is by far his best positon: as a CAM. I've seen him win PL games on his own and even the odd game in Europe. He's way more than what he has shown for sure. Just a victim of a terrible situation and a clueless coach.Not sure if serious but I believe there is a lot of upside

apparently he's played 8 games. That's shocked me because I can't remember any either too?!? Proper Streisand effect thing.More G/A contributions than Antony this season, and I can't remember a game he's played in.
He came to us fit and started the first three games. Then he got dropped and became a sub.apparently he's played 8 games. That's shocked me because I can't remember any either too?!? Proper Streisand effect thing.
You never really know on RedcafeI am serious. I think he will be very good for us.
Well it is hardly an unpopular opinion even if it is on here for some strange reason.I am serious. I think he will be very good for us.
What’s the story with him? He returned to training a few weeks ago now and there were even pics of him in training yet since then there’s been absolutely nothing. Surely he’s fit enough at this point to be in the squad or is there something else going on?
Theres rumours theres more too it than injury, but I'd imagine those are just the usual BS.
Mental health issues. Could be bollocksWhat's the rumour?

Increasingly seems like Ten Hag shorthand for 'I dont rate him'.Mental health issues. Could be bollocks
