I’d swap him for Gravenberch anyday. That guy has strength, agility, passing and height. We could have signed him for like 30m but no of course not.I wouldn't say that. He would probably be very good for Liverpool. It's just that our team as a whole is an absolute mess, and every player just play for themselves. Badly coached, laziness and an individualistic approach to football takes you nowhere. Sometimes, you just need players who are tactically flexible and can suit different systems, who work extremely hard and are suited to playing football as a team.
Sancho was supposed to be a massive injection in quality, so was Pogba, Di Maria, etc. You'll find mediocre midfielders in the PL are performing to a much higher level than ours are, not because they're necessarily better quality for quality, but because they're more focused on team play.
Steady, mate. Another ETH's former Ajax player and people would lose their mind (me included). Issue with Mount is he has no role in this team, not that he is not as good or more proven in PL than Gravenberch. Don't let Europa League and League Cup performance deceive you. He's mostly sub in PL, and didn't even complete 90 in his only start.I’d swap him for Gravenberch anyday. That guy has strength, agility, passing and height.

Especially for M&M's fansRegardless of what you think of Mount, this is the best thread title on Redcafe
Mount, Sancho, Donny are all 'pass 'n' move' players. ETH wants to change our style, in particular to give us options in moving up the pitch, and working the ball in and around the box, with such players; but just as he recruits Mount, a large section of the defence gets taken out by prolonged injury and what was going to be hard work to change anyway, now becomes very difficult indeed.
What actually is our style,Mount deserves a chance but won't get it front of Antony/Rashford
I think we're supposed to be high press/win the ball back in forward positions and play direct, but instead we're high press/opposition walk through press and attack our goal constantly.
I wouldn't mind Mount getting a run of games on the right but ETH obviously doesn't see that as his role. I also don't think it would solve any of our issues but I juat feel bad for him that he's not really had a fair chance to show what he can do.
I’m not a fan of signing ex mangers players but funnily enough the one he probably should have signed Ten Hag passed onSteady, mate.

This is why we are a banter club.And they gave him the number 7 shirt cursed
You really do have to laughAnd they gave him the number 7 shirt cursed

What was the point of blowing half the budget on this guy? More evidence that Ten Hag does not have the slightest idea what he is doing.

Just retire the fecking shirt
McTom is being rewarded for being in form. That's all it is.Absolutely ridiculous. The recruitment decisions are disgraceful.
I had a suspicion he was not a priority for ETH…

The amount of times Pep tinkers with City you'd all lose your minds, and you (CAF in general) all complain no one gets dropped, then the second a player gets dropped for a player in form you complain. Guarantee if Mount was starting there'll be people complaining.
Why does it have to be Mctom dropped for him to play? He is an attacking midfielder and the guy playing as the starting attacking midfielder for us right now has underperformed the entire season yet continues to play every minute.McTom is being rewarded for being in form. That's all it is.

It was vital that any money spent in summer improved the starting lineup otherwise we're no better than last season. Should have just got a better player than Amrabat if Mount is just a bench option.McTom is being rewarded for being in form. That's all it is.

The CAF would complain if we played him purely because he cost so much too! EtH cannot win!It was vital that any money spent in summer improved the starting lineup otherwise we're no better than last season. Should have just got a better player than Amrabat if Mount is just a bench option.
You are mostly right about thatEtH cannot win!
I honestly trust this forums decision making on transfers over the clubs at this point.
this was scarily predictable to everyone but the club/manager
2nd of March 2024?Keeping him warm for City @AFC NimbleThumb
He was a priority for the club, so was renewing DDG.He was a priority, that is the baffling thing. The conclusion is that our manager is a charlatan and will hopefully be gone at the end of the season along with Murtough
I'm OK with it as long as there's a plan for him. There are lots of examples of big players who needed almost a whole season before they became key. Grealish being one example.2nd of March 2024?
You know I had to do this to you mate If you don’t laugh you’ll cry.
