Mount wasnt signed for his ability on the ball, but what he brings off the ball. Crazy i know but it is what it is. For ETH system, he needs players who can do the non stop pressing. Thats what mount brings, industry, energy, work rate, pressing etc.
£50mil is nuts for what he brings, but in the right system its priceless. Liverpool wanted him? Why? because they needed to replace the industry, energy, work rate, pressing of henderson and winjaldium.
Im not a fan of his, but willing to give him a chance. Once hojilund, amrabat, onana etc all bed in and play together, we might better understand why ETH signed him.
