That's what I thought although I hadn't watched Chelsea. Maybe he's seen what a disaster it's been and has been keeping out of it as much as possible!Barely ever got injured in his first three seasons there. Then only missed one game in his fourth season up until March, which was when he got the pelvic injury that ultimately required surgery. We bought him on the back of that.
People tend to massively exaggerate his injury issues before we bought him. In reality he missed the last three months of his last season, after three and a half years of barely missing a game. Obviously buying a player on the back of an injury that requires surgery carries a bit of risk, but people constantly carry on like he'd shown serious injury-proneness before which couldn't be further from the case.
The guy who Ratcliffe's team sacked a few weeks ago.Who on earth signed off spending £60 million when he had 1 year left on his contract?
I think it's clear now that we should have extended Phil Jones' contract. We didn't realise it at the time, but the man was a lightning rod for injuries, keeping his teammates protected through the sheer power of self-sacrifice. Without him, the injury gods are just dishing it out to everyone indiscriminately.
You never know what you've got until it's gone.
If you think what you wrote makes any sense, primary school beckonsIn todays news, a layman with no ties to higher education has come forth to reveal that: ‘Rocket science isn’t rocket science, you know’. More on this later.
We got rid of Fred for this guy. Fred in the past and maybe still to this day is a more proven player than Mount. He always did pretty well for us and Brazil.One of the worse signins in the last decade. Not only he is not up to the standard required, but also not even available. We have signed many mediocre players in the past decade but at least they were available.

At the same time they do manage to keep the ball for large periods of time which is helpful to "rest" during gamesHave you seen Liverpool and City?
We also spent 115m on Caicedo who is dogshit and 58m on Romeo bed blocker Lavia. Man City fans think Kovacic is crap and want him sold.Reminder that Chelsea paid 40 million for 20-goal scorer Palmer.
City paid 30 million for Kovacic, who has been reliable and consistent for them.
How is United just always the club caught with its pants down on transfers?

He never dropped form or had an injury record quite like Mason.
Always available, always fought for the badge and was easily one of my fav United players of the past decade. Mount has a long way to even get close to filling his shoes.
I’m hoping he proves me wrong but I’m just not seeing the same personality on the field from this guy.
Fred’s personality and drive made up for his lack of skill and he said it himself. He also did a very good job for us so I respect that.
Amrabat has been even worse though. I forget the guy is still playing for us. Absolutely out of his depth.
Great minds think alike.Cant wait till we spend another £60m on Olise to join him on the fitness table.
Ah well, not to worry - we'll replace an injury prone Mount with Olise for 60m.
Seen a couple of commentators opinion that:
The way Ten Hag sets us up is probably the cause of our soft tissue injuries. The players have to sprint back and forth more than most teams.
This is the point that I was thinking of the whole time ! why did they brought him with that price !Who on earth signed off spending £60 million when he had 1 year left on his contract?
That indicates that the club valued Mount on a multi year contract at around the £100 million 192.168.100.1 192.168.1.1 mark which is bonkers.
There’s probably only a handful of players in world football I’d be happy paying £60 million for in the last year of their contract and Mount is certainly not one of them.
It stinks of a regime that panders to a managers demands. Reports last summer indicated that ETH was obsessed with getting Mount and saw him as instrumental to his plans.
Thank God that regime is on its way out.
terrible signing
I think people (including me) view him as bad signing because it was in a position that we didn’t need to strengthen and it prevented us from signing Kim Min-Jae, who would have been a necessary signing to strengthen a position that, at least retrospectively, needs strengthening.Is he a terrible signing because he's always injured? Hopefully he can recover over the summer and get off to a good start next year.
He had more influence when he was injured.
Sure feels like an ETH signing. With the respective performance.He'll be like a new signing when he returns!.
The longer he was inured the better he became.

Another Ten Hag masterclass signing.
Absolute nothing player, another van de Beek.
The longer he was inured the better he became.
