He was really terrible again. Surely one of the worst buys of the season.

No. Onana wins that one. Mount has hardly played.He was really terrible again. Surely one of the worst buys of the season.
When he would have been Free this summer, beggars belief ?11M a year (55M over 5 years) so if he leaves summer of 2025 for 33M to say West Ham or Everton then it's only a short term disaster?
I doubt many are judging him.Not fair to judge him on this mess. Plus he hardly has any football in his boots. Give him a full season next year, if he can stay fit, and then judge. I am sure the next manager will love to have a player of his quality.
Anyone saying we could’ve gotten him on a free this year is dreaming. He’d have gone elsewhere or signed a new deal.
No one else would have paid £60 million for him & he’d pretty much told the club he wasn’t signing a new deal. We’re not talking about a player who we just couldn’t turn up the opportunity to sign. We’re talking about Mason Mount ffs. If we could have got him on a free then great, a solid squad addition. A homegrown player who could cover a few positions and follows a managers tactical instructions. Great business. If not, no big deal.Anyone saying we could’ve gotten him on a free this year is dreaming. He’d have gone elsewhere or signed a new deal.
The feck is he going to do next year? Bruno is ahead of him, as he is a much better player. Mainoo is one of the 2 deep players. Mason Mount, while being a decent player, is not a starting 11 player here, and likely never will be because he's not good enough as a 10 to be a starting 10 for a top club. That position demands a world class player basically if you want to win things. He is not that.Not fair to judge him on this mess. Plus he hardly has any football in his boots.

Not ETH, blame recruitment and all the people who authorise, negotiate and sign players contracts.The only thing going for him is that he was injured for most of the season. We can keep telling ourselves that we haven't seen his best, although we already know from his body at work at Chelsea that he wasn't all that.
One of the most baffling signings of the last few seasons. With others the issue was the position identified was correct, it was just the wrong player. This time we made a signing just for the heck of it. Worse is that he was injured for most of last season at Chelsea, in the last year of his contract and we still decided to spend 55m+5m on him on extortionate wages.
No manager has fecked us more with their stupid signings that ETH. The damage he would've done by the time it's over is going to take years to repair.
You don't think ETH had anything to do with signings of Antony, Mount, Onana, Amrabat?Not ETH, blame recruitment and all the people who authorise, negotiate and sign players contracts.
Name 5 top class signings in the last 11 years. I’ll wait.
it’s shambolic. The reality of how this club has been run for the last 15 years has never been more clear.
It's insane isn't it? It's like saying that you need to put your fingers in a pot of boiling water a few times before you know if it's bad for your health.We give trash players multiple seasons. Lets see how many trashy performances this guy can put in. And then make a judgement.
All true. At a time we needed a real centre midfielder we went out and got another #10. Utterly insane move that was never going to work.The amount of time, energy and money that was taken to sign this guy.
Decent player, but like most of the clueless fans on here, I could not see where he would fit into the team or why we needed him. But I thought, ok, ten Hag must have a plan for him, he wouldn't be going balls out to sign a player without a definite plan.
Turns out ten Hag hadn't a f**king clue about what to do with Mount either!
Why? Why will I not blame the guy who wanted control of the transfers and hand-picked these players. The upper management being shit doesn't absolve him of picking these players for recruitment.Not ETH, blame recruitment and all the people who authorise, negotiate and sign players contracts.

Yeah it was ridiculous not to spend that money on say 2 young players and a striker in his prime doing well in a decent but not top league:When he would have been Free this summer, beggars belief ?
But where will he play?I'll judge him in a more functional team next year
hard to not look like a clown when you are performing at the circus
Never been a fan even when he was at Chelsea but this seems fair to me.I'll judge him in a more functional team next year

This. I'm not a fan of him and was against signing him but this is fair enough. Give him next season with a - hopefully - new and more competent managerI'll judge him in a more functional team next year

i mean he’s not going to get any minutes next year too.I'll judge him in a more functional team next year

God knows - you'd never have him over Bruno but a new manager might have a plan.But where will he play?
He was shite at Chelsea and England 18 months before we signed him, too.I wouldnt have signed him myself and that's on Ten Hag but it gets frustrating when our fans are putting the boot in when the player has barely kicked a ball.
100%I wouldnt have signed him myself and that's on Ten Hag but it gets frustrating when our fans are putting the boot in when the player has barely kicked a ball.
Yeah I agree, he's a good player but a weird signing for an 8. I don't see why he doesn't just start RW these days (at least then his shirt number will be correct!) if he's fit, played there before and did well and can actually cross with his right foot.God knows - you'd never have him over Bruno but a new manager might have a plan.
I look at how effective players like Harvey Elliott/Curtis Jones have been for Liverpool at times and I think Klopp tried to get Mount himself to play in his midfield 3.
a midfield of a DM, maybe a Playmaker, Mainoo, Mount and Bruno provides good options

The fact that he is an ex Chelsea player is irrelevant. I doubt anyone would have complained if we had signed a 25 year old Eden Hazard from them or a peak Drogba.100%
He was atleast 2-0 behind for some when he signed because he is an ex Chelsea player, got the 7 shirt and they think Mount would have come for free upcoming summer.
rotation option in the 10 role to help keep Bruno freshI think Mount is better than we’ve seen but I can’t understand why we bought him or where he will ever fit in.
60 million down the drainInjured again
We payed 55 million for the privilege of having him one season earlier...in which he's hardly played.No. Onana wins that one. Mount has hardly played.
You have to be freaking kidding meInjured again
In hindsight maybe, but we had no clue he would be in the hospital all season, right?We payed 55 million for the privilege of having him one season earlier...in which he's hardly played.
I think Mount wins the 'Most Brainless Transfer' award
