Wad it just to have a £60m squad player? It's just odd. |

He bought him because in his ideal system he has 2 attacking midfielders ahead of a holdiing midfielder.

Last season it was Casemiro and Eriksen when fit. Eriksens legs went and he probably thought Mount would be a good replacement . He likes having one of the 6s to push up and have a high press. At the time I thought it was stupid to drop 55 million on a player who may start most game but not somebody who is a guaranteed starter . However I doubt he has much control over actual transfer fee. I think naturally he’s a number 10 but he has briefly played in that 6 , maybe have even been in preseason against Leeds though cant remembe and on the few occasions when he has come on. He was most likely trying to build a squad considering our team lack quality in depth. Obviously so far hasn’t worked out as Mount is a crock. Probably doesn’t help when Casemiro has turned shite too. Spotlight on ETH and the midfield just becomes greater. |

I think ten Hag should stay. I'm sick of new starts. He's either got a brilliant plan that hasn't worked yet or he hasn't got a plan but either way, I'm happy for him to start next season and we'll see. |

If Ineos want ‘their’ choice in though and it’s because of a change of direction style wise all debate is moot |

the spotlight on eth and the midfield has always been bright. there is both the balance of the team and the balance of the squad to consider... and he's got both wrong.
with the mount purchase, it was always a question of priorities. obvs, we have bruno playing every game, although that's not wise. we had cass (player of the season, but old), mainoo (raw), mctog (hiding, other than in the oppo box), eriksen (dead).... none of whom is really a dm, but dm was the need. to play mount, he would have had to play instead of rashford, antony, nacho, amad, etc. we had a surfeit of players who could be described as attacking midfielders, playing in the 3 in a 4-2-3-1. whether or not that is a good formation. I prefer 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2. (no need to mention 10h really wants to play 4-1-2-3.) as far as his tactics are concerned, playing a weak dm and expecting the fullbacks to supplement central midfield is nonsense. not just with the players we have, but more generally. when we lose possession (frequently), the fullbacks are always out of position. our only viable lb is always injured and, whilst dalot has been ok, wan b is not a player to use this way. maybe amass will be. if he is all about the high press, what the £#%&! is he doing picking rashford game after game? we can all have opinions on whether the players are actually good enough individually (if think amrabat is shit, you are an idiot), but the more important issue has been whether any of them is durable. of our first choice back four, varane, martinez and shaw absolutely cannot be relied on to play regularly. knowing that we had signed jfe as cover was a big red flag (hi, quiggler)... and he's not durable either. letting reguilon go was stupid. malacia is clearly nowhere near fitness (not to mention he will only ever be a success in dwarf football). then you've got cass and eriksen in midfield. cf, we've got martial (lol) and rasmus (not fit, but needs must). under the circumstances, we can't be wasting money on mount. he's the one type of player of which we do have quite a few. if he were world class, you can't pass that up. but he's not. and he's turned out not to be durable either, ffs. |

you see you keep saying this and I keep wondering what you're basing it on. Obviously not his time at united, so I presume it must be all the games you watched of him at Fiorentina? Or maybe Hellas Verona where he was on loan from Club Brugge? Or was it just the world cup? Quick reminder we bought Karel Poborsky and Kleberson off the back of good world cup performances. |

it is slightly tangential to the main point, which is that the squad should be built around a solid midfield (and defence). I wanted palhinha, not amrabat, but he is a good player of the type we need(ed). mount isn't. |

I must have missed that sequence of play tbf.
