He needs rebooting to another club.
Haha Yep.
And whoever signed off on his medical should also be rebooted to another club.
We have incompetent people selecting incompetent players for the club.
From top to bottom our club is a shambles.
Missing Mount
What a waste of a transfer.
I remember Mount had a few good occasions to score, he failed there. It doesn't make sense to play Mainoo and McTominay just for them to score goals, that is the point. We need a different shape and I am only interested how Mount finds himself then, under a new manager I think he has a good chance to be core of the team, I do rate him.wtf
Mainoo is a child prodigy and MuckyT at least scores a few goals.
Mount was virtually invisible when he played.
Similar to Mainoo? You're on a fecking WUM mate.
Whatever, I think you'll be waiting a long time for him to come good.
There's half a clue in your 2nd line.
And the other clue has been him making absolutely zero impact in the times he has got near the pitch
Well, not as bad as Antony!
Worst transfer since Sancho.
Shout out to DVB.

That's unfair, imo. He's barely played.
It’s pathetic.
Decent player who doesn’t move the needle enough to justify the amount of money we spent on him and his likely 250k contract. Especially when the squad is still missing more important pieces. He’s a cherry on top midfielder for the squad who in all honesty many managers at top clubs would be keen on because he’s probably viewed as a Swiss Army knife.
He could still very well turn out to be a good player for us who we look back at fondly once he leaves the club but we had different priorities that should have been addressed first, once they are addressed and he’s still available for a decent price then yeah would have been a great addition to the squad.

I feel he's getting rated worse and worse with every passing game week that he's out injured. Bit like Casemiro.
Aye, usually players get rated higher when they're unavailable.
Hindsight is everything but at this point we could have just waited until the summer and signed him for free and gotten the same out of him. A baffling transfer. We needed stability and reliability in midfield and we signed a player who was out of form and injured for the whole of the previous season.
Would I be surprised to hear that he hasn’t settled in Manchester and wants to move back to London? No
Maybe West Ham sell Paqueta and come in for Mount as a replacement in Summer 2025, assuming we get a largely unimpressive season out of him next year too

I knew he wouldn't improve UTD but I had no idea he would miss so many matches, making Donny VDB look like a decent signing & that's really saying something.
It was underwhelming from day 1, but we all hoped it'd be one of those transfers that ends up being a team enhancing master stroke.
So far it's looking like a more injured version of the DVB transfer, in that we can't really effectively play him and Bruno together.

I cannot wait to see him on the pitch for us....it will be like a new signing.
Whilst I can understand the need for privacy when it comes to medical matters, sometimes, it's better to be open about it - less speculation and drama in my view.
My mind goes back to Darren Fletcher a few years ago and I can see why some issues are personal and the general public do not need to know everything about someone with a high profile or low profile for that matter.
I hope his medical condition is not as horrific as Darren Fletcher's. I wish him nothing but the best if it is.
I am not saying it is but I really think we do not need to know everything about everyone with a profile.
If something is personal than the media should stop hounding in interviews for answers as we all should on various platforms.
Why are you not shitting on Martinez then? He was crap initially this season and did well in only 2 games.
So is Martinez and other players who go through injuries. Do you think that he purposefully got himself injured?
New team, clueless manager and never a decent run of games. Context is needed.
I am not questioning whether the transfer made sense or not. To me it did not at that time and still doesn't. But random bumps on this thread with people just wanting to lay into an injured player is weird.
Totes new signing, exciting
I totally forgot about him.
The context is that he offered nothing.
Agreed. Need to see him healthy and play fo us for a while. He obviously has played well in the EPL before.
Yeah then you have no clues.
I forgot he even played for us truth be told. Irrelevant so far but I live in hope he can suprise us.
70m for a squad player though. Still scratching my head at that one.

Seriously, where the hell is this guy? I don't even see him in the stands.
I just remembered DVB is still at the club and only on loan. That’s depressing…
The Phil Jones replacement we didn’t think we needed
I thought it was either baffling or desperation to sign an above average player for £55 mill when he was in his last year of contract. It wasn't as if we were signing De Bruyne. Also his best position is Brunos position, (TH never drops him) and he was never going to be picked in front of him, so it was a barmy signing imo. The fact he has been injured virtually all season as well, especially as he had been injured second half of the season, last season for Chelsea just sums up where we (are/were) as a club and on this alone, shows TH shouldnt be picking the players to sign, going forward.
We've seen what he can do. Look at last year.
The argument here is Mount was chelsea player of the season two years in a row so seen what he can do as well
So maybe shit on him once he gets equal opportunities? Even you know that you're making one of the worst arguments here.
