Martinez had been probably our best signing post Ferguson. Love the guy, everything we want in a Man Utd player. There’s an element of risk with the differences in leagues , but I’d be more comfortable dropping 30-40 million on a player from ajax (or any other Dutch team) than 50-70 million on mason mount |

It’s an unspectacular one, but there’s appealing attributes: he’s good on the ball, creative, lots of energy and presses well. Good work rate. I kinda get it. The fee is an issue though. If he was out of contract, fine, but his deal is up next summer and he’s seemingly less than favoured there atm. We shouldn’t be paying upwards of £50m. It’s the English premium too. When you’re on a budget (which we are until we know otherwise) then trying to sign English players like him, Kane and rice is going to drain funds. And even with him, we’d still need a more defensive minded midfielder. Perhaps Rabiot if he’s a freebie. |

But we have a history of having players on large contracts which result is ridiculously low transfer fees when they are sold. Still got the likes of Bailey and telles to piss off. |

Maguire - £20m The Scottish Player - £20m Martial - £10-£15m Henderson - £20m That’s if we’re lucky enough to get rid of all of them. Then, as you say, the shit that’s coming back to us in Telles and Bailly and whoever else I’ve forgotten. In short, we need new owners. Still, no rush |

I’ve only ever seen mount play for England and where he has played against us . Never set the world alight. Just reeks of an overhyped English player. If we do sign him I hope I’m wrong. |

Eriksen had not played that deeper role either previous to this season, so presumably ETH would convert Mount to that position.
Given how exhausting this season has been, and that next year will be no honeymoon-season given other teams have played against an ETH side now and will be a little better clued into how to set up against us, the CM cover is likely second-highest priority after central striker. Liverpool this season should be a cautionary tale in how quickly midfielders in their 30s can all of a sudden just stop functioning at this level. Mount likely see as upgrade to Eriksen, and cover to Bruno (whose legs one day will presumably fall clean off). 2 birds 1 stone. |

he's "tidy". so is the don. as we know, that doesn't work in the real world. we need a solid s/d type in midfield, not someone pruning the roses occasionally. palhinha and casemiro seems like the base of the best midfield in the world. mount and casemiro sounds like eriksen can't do more than 60 minutes and we're poor, but what can we do? |

But I want a mobile midfielder able to bring the ball forward and I don’t think that’s what he does best tbh. |
