Does feel like a VDB signing. Barely playing and when he does, he’s been bad. Not even an assist yet if I’m not mistaken?
Like VDB too, not many people saw the rationale behind the signing either
But if he is going to end up a good signing they’re doing the right thing by giving him as much time as possible to return and not risking another spell out by rushing him back
The only reason I can think of for signing this guy is, in the medium term, the club is planning to sell Bruno.
Mount's best position is the one Bruno plays. Mount and Bruno in midfield is too lightweight.
Mount is not a deep playmaker or a midfield battler. We did not need him and, given how tight our FFP position was last summer, serious questions need to be asked about why we spent £50m on a profile of player we didn't need.
Right now, if Mainoo were absent for a few games, we'd have to change our entire playing style because we only have one of his type in the squad. Why didn't we get someone who could rotate with him with that £50m? More bizarre 'squad building'.
