I didn’t know what else he was going forYou tried
Any return dates for him?
There seems to be a lot of mystery around our player injuries under ETH.
We all thought eth will replace Eriksen with Mount, but this isn't what has happened because MM (and McTominay, and Mainoo) have been deployed to perform very different role.It feels like we banked everything on Mount being some sort of answer to our need to have Eriksen's creativity, but with more mobility.
It obviously didn't work at all early season, then Mount has pretty much been injured since.
And makes it look like we've made the exact same Donny mistake a year on.
... unless Bruno is shifted out to the right wing where he's almost completely ineffective. Close to useless, even.
When is he back?
What a calamity of a transfer this turned out to be.No return date mate, he isn't ever near ready for group training. Baffling.
When not injured i'm struggling to see where he fits into our current
They should try turning him off and on againMaybe they just need to run a diagnostics test on him ?

Whether it will work or not, jury is out but ETH did mention several times at the beginning of the season that he can play deeper (Referring to midfield), I think most like me assumed he would be Bruno cover or whether one would get odd minutes on the wing but I think that evidence suggests he wanted him as more a deeper b2b
Why are people shitting on a player who has been unavailable for 98% of the season?
I always thought he would rotate with Bruno, and that still might happen, but they probably don’t work well together. I think he’s a great player, can’t wait to see him fit and firing.

stellar sentence and impossible to argue with.Replacing a creative freak no.10 who isn’t really good at the “typical no.10 stuff” for a no.10 who also isn’t really good at the ”typical no.10 stuff” whilst being nowhere near as creative is the giga brain tactic of dreams that we seem to have employed over the last however many years, so I can go with that story.
This.ETH started the season with a fantasy double 10 and 6 pivot. Even with Mount unavailable it has proven to be a disaster. His only choices remain to try and play Mount deeper and hope he adapts or just rotate him around with Bruno/ use him as an impact sub. The latter would be more sensible and probably make a difference with a heavy fixture list. Erik is stubborn though and he might not be willing to do that; especially given the transfer fee.
He offered similar to what Mainoo and McTominay (I think he was a bit unlucky with the chances that he had). Should we expect more from him? I'd say yes, but that's not the point because we will never play this way with both Mount and Bruno in #8 effectively so something has to give (like in the bolded part in comment I quoted above).When he was available, he offered nothing.
So that's probably why.
I don't think they are the same profile. They are both attacking mids but have different strengths really. IMO Mount would do well in Arsenal / City setup, while Bruno would struggle big time. And yet, Bruno is the central figure for that team as Ten Hag made him the captain, so that creates an issue for Mount (even if he fits what ETH wants to play more).Agree. He and Bruno are the same profile. Not a traditional no. 10 but that player who works between the double pivot and CF/ST. If you get a proper DM to sit alongside Mainoo then I think you'll have a good midfield.

He needs rebooting to another club.
I remember Mount had a few good occasions to score, he failed there. It doesn't make sense to play Mainoo and McTominay just for them to score goals, that is the point. We need a different shape and I am only interested how Mount finds himself then, under a new manager I think he has a good chance to be core of the team, I do rate him.wtf
Mainoo is a child prodigy and MuckyT at least scores a few goals.
Mount was virtually invisible when he played.
Similar to Mainoo? You're on a fecking WUM mate.

Close to Antony?
