The Mount backlash is a bit weird. He's 24, played 2 games in a new set up with a new team. I dunno why people were expecting Messi?Mount is an awful signing for the money.
The new striker, well obviously the jury is out on him for now but for that money he needs to get 15+ League goals a season, as well as having a decent all round game.
He's a number 8 who can drift into the number 10. Fernandes played over 60 games last season, more than any other player in all of the European leagues. Ten Hag needed more bodies in that midfield, especially in creative positions. And with more energy than Erikson.
Mount could turn out to be a dud, but judging him from 2 games is a bit too soon. Like others have said, he won the CL with Chelsea and was their player of the season for 2 years on the bounce. He kept Rashford and Foden out of the England team for the Euro's and World Cup, so you know...
