Another waste of money.
No he was an iron man. His last season he had some sort of bizarre pelvic injury but prior to that he was ever-present.Was he this injury prone at Chelsea?
Yeah but to be fair to horsechoker he is also a waste of time.He's a waste...of space!
The irony (iron man - irony, always explain a pun) is that he was so seldom injured at Chelsea, while now he can’t even come on for twenty minutes after four lengthy breaks without attracting two (!) entirely separate injuries in that time.No he was an iron man. His last season he had some sort of bizarre pelvic injury but prior to that he was ever-present.
Which is probably why he’s so broken now.No he was an iron man. His last season he had some sort of bizarre pelvic injury but prior to that he was ever-present.

Most people on this forum knew that it was going to be a bad transfer.The most frustrating part is that everyone knew this was a bad signing from the start. Nobody had any spectations and it's been proven right, we have the worst scouting/recruiting team in the world.
ETH set us up with two attacking midfielders last season, so we did have a role for him to play (as the second one next to Bruno). It's just that he started the season poorly, picked up a knock and then lost the spot to McTominay. He then got injured again, and by the time he was fit Mainoo had established himself as first choice in that position while McTominay continued having more impact as the backup. So ETH intended for Mount to be first choice in that role, but he ended up 3rd choice (on the few occasions he was fit).What I couldnt understand was paying that much money for a player in his last season, and after buying him have no defined role for him to play. If Bruno was never going to be dropped as he was made captain, surely buying a different player was the way to go.
Looking at it another way if we desperately wanted him , we could have paid him a signing on fee of £5-10 million on the side and picked him up for nothing this season. Mount said when he knew Utd were after him, this was the only club he wanted to play for.
Gakpo has been way better value for Liverpool than Mount has for Man UtdBetween him and Cody Gakpo, both are vying for the title of definition of a nothing player. Except we probably paid a lot more for him than Pool did for Gakpo.
Possibly - but I don't recall him playing through niggling injuries either? I was never under the impression that he was overly burdened by minutes, especially since he wasn't featuring for full 90s on a regular basis for England.Which is probably why he’s so broken now.

Ah well fair enough then; my memory is fecking awful so even more so than usual no one should trust what I post. Still don't recall him passing late fitness tests to play or anything like that but could very well be misrememberingI’m personally pretty convinced that it contributed heavily to the injury issues he faced in the years that followed. I was complaining about overplaying him in 2022. I remember comparing his number of games over a 3 year period with Odegaard and Foden, and Mount had played 55 (!!) and 27 less games at the time. Mount seemingly played every single available minute for 3 years and we were going deep in several competitions in those seasons.

Gakpo has been several times more valuable to Liverpool. They are not even in the same category at all. Mount has provided nothing.Him and Cody Gakpo are the very definition of a nothing player. Except we probably paid a lot more for him than Pool did for Gakpo.
Underwhelming player, high fee, 1 year left on deal, same position as our undroppable captain.Still feels unreal we have him. Not in a good way. Just because he's hardly been fit and when he was he did feck all.
