I can’t really understand why yous have signed Mount.
Our midfield needs sorted out but even when fans were putting players into their preferred formation for the season ahead Mount rarely featured.

Mount wouldn’t really be a better option in any position and it’s still difficult to gauge his best position. He’s a talented player but hasn’t really mastered a position yet which becomes a huge problem for a footballer. Havertz is very similar.
If you didn’t have BrunoFernandes he would play that role I’d imagine. Unless the plan is to play Casemiro defensive, Bruno deeper and Mount ahead? But would this not limit the attacking contribution of Bruno F?
I’d have understood yous signing Rice to play beside Casemiro and free up Bruno. Mount doesn’t seem to make sense but Ten Haag has done well so far so he will have a good reason for signing him.
Mount’s form has been horrendous for a long time so there’s recency bias if I’m being honest. I agree with his video, he needed a move and he almost alluded to it being a career move albeit driven by extortionate wages, but he’s stagnated significantly over the past year or so.
