Not a bad player but wildly overpriced for what he's shown in the past and the fit to our team.
It's funny last season ETH chased FDJ around when he's not a good DM, we luckily get a great DM and now the profile of FDJ next to Cas and Bruno would make a strong midfield. Like Cas, Modric, Kroos. Instead we get Mount who is more akin to Lucas Vasquez. Obviously pricing differences and FDJ but being available but a finished midfield we do not have. Even someone like Tielemans would've been a better fit as a passing CM
He really isn't, though. Look at the prices players are going for: Lavia for over £50m; Caicedo in excess of £100m; West Ham rejected an £87m bid from City for Paqueta.
It is just the price of players, nowadays. Mount was Chelsea's player of the season twice in a row and topped both their goals and assists in 21/22.
