Where ever he wants. I shared a formation that I would be curious to see.
Mason Mount | Confirmed

Nooo this thread is about Mason fecking Mount, how could you?
It depends what we see in Mount as a profile, for me ETH has clearly used a 6 (Defensive, sits deep and slots into the back 2 in transition) Casemiro, we have a DLP (Eriksen) or a B2B (Fred/ Sabitzer) depending on availability where Eriksen looks to create from deep and the B2B carry the ball and get in the box for attacks but equally get back to help out. We then play with a 10 that works hard and tries to create and takes risks, I don't see Mount as any of them as we are very much a 1 behind 2 in the midfield and Mount is far better profile with 2 other players like him where it's a midfield 3 perhaps with a back 5 so perhaps ETH has seen something about him that he feels he can change his style a little bit.
That’s an insane amount of pages jumped considering we haven’t even put a bid in yet for the player. Imagine if we did 
Cheers!
This is very concerning.
I just can’t get my head around this one
i mean the only way i can maybe understand this if EtH is viewing rashford as more a CF, and plans on buying a younger, more developmental CF to back him up. Then you have rash more central and bruno becomes his tadic out wide and he wants mount in the middle i guess? Idk havent seen much of mount tbh. But even if he wants to push bruno wide as his new Ajax tadic role if you dont move rashford central there just arent enough spaces for it.
I could understand it with Rice & Kane because see where they fit into team but not him
Absolute disgrace to Muller!
I’m not convinced he has a end product that’s better than the average pl player
Because we are still stuck in the stone ages with how we recruit and it's fecking embarassing. I'm really reading comments in this thread of people shrugging their shoulders and saying "uh what players can we really sign for 50m that are better than Mount though?"
It's fine, we'll get taken to the cleaners and then laughed at in a year
Also Bruno wide is just idiotic if that's what ETH wants. Tadic is a miles better dribbler than him and was even more so when ETH was there. It's a fecking stupid idea
You can find comfort in the idea that it's likely not an actual target for the club.
What isn't: Mount in or Bruno out wide?
And then the same posters will crib that the club's scouting is crap
Bingo. Especially as we have Casemiro and Eriksen as known quantities. They wouldn't need to start immediately and with their ages/suspension record they'd get plenty of opportunities.
The bolded part is what is really frustrating what I was talking about earlier in the thread, we can only suggest so much from the limited tools and data we have access too and the lack of time to pair that with video analysis to give a full picture. I can suggest players, with not enough depth of knowledge to really argue my preference for one or the other.
Signing Mount and playing Bruno wide by default.
Wow if he comes along Kane and Rice..than it's okay. As long as we don't spunk silly money on Chelsea Reject
I'm hoping it's just a joke or the media just making up stories cos I don't see why we should be going for MM.
I'd rather we throw our weight trying to sign James Madison. I'm not just comfortable with this Mason Mount and the amount of money we are willing to part with for his signing.

Not a reject. He's refusing to sign a new deal because Chelsea are trying to get their wage bill down. They don't want to lose him
I'd agree that he's better than Wijnaldum (as long as this season was the exception and Mount gets back to the form he was in previously). Certainly wouldn't take him ahead of Henderson in the deeper role though, I think Henderson was quite a lot better than he gets credit for on here.
Such as average player. He is another player who I watch with England and he is there on the pitch but I don't know what he does and why he is consistently selected. We need players with spark in the Garnacho mould not this guy.
I think Amad and Pellestri were good, with potential to be great, signings but Solskjaer didn't give them a sniff because they weren't his signings and he wanted Sancho. I'm a firm believer if we had invested game time into them when we first bought them, we could've saved the fees of Sancho and Antony and invested that into the centre midfielder and forward position instead. We scouted the likes of Caicedo and Alvarez but again, the power lies in the manager and Murtough's hands and we didn't chase them as hard as we should have, the same goes for Bellingham.
If they don't want to lose him, then they'd pay up. He is a reject because they are sure they can compete without him.
The comparison with Ziyech would be better, who used to be a midfielder too. Also RW, where Bruno would play on the wide. Hate the idea as well, think it's not going to happen though. Surely Bruno will be our 8 if Mount were to come in.
I wish you was our Sporting Director
I hope this isn't true. I thought we were looking for a highly technical 8 who can carry the ball well and has a good passing range?
If this means we get him and rice for our midfield I'd be chuffed. Quality players who work incredibly hard and are good professionals is not bad thing to have.
Even without Rice he's a very useful player to have, maybe not an automatic starter, but certainly a great option to have.

What top side operates like this? I remember when teams were supposed to follow the West Ham or Southampton model and look at them now
When people are saying Klopp wants him, so he must see something… just remember

Also hilarious the note today in the news that Ten Hag wanted him when he saw him at Vitesse. This cnut is overly obsessed with players that he played against in that league man.
So yeah this isn’t a “scouring recommendation”, it’s yet another Ten Hag obsession.

You need to think about whether you want to improve your squad or manage pure strings. Mason Mount, if signed, would play plenty of games.. we need another quality, two at least in fact, top quality Premiership midfielders. We play almost 70 games a season, that's close to two Premiership campaigns.
He offers variety, across a number of positions.
We all know the Premiership is crazy money, but it seems it's the likes of Brighton, Wolves, Villa who are picking up players, so called under-the-radar, and I have stated on many occasions that we need to improve our scouting of lower league players across Europe and beyond. There are v v good players out there to be had.
City. Liverpool when they were good under Edwards. Real fecking Madrid. Bayern.
For the record Mount is even less of a midfielder than Bruno is in terms of positioning.
If Rice is signed then he'll end up on the bench. There's no way that Mount will play ahead of Bruno, Casemiro and Rice. Unless.....Bruno is moved as RW which I very much doubt.
I think people are overthinking where Mount would fit in if he came.
The Athletic's article makes their perception of it clear:
And he has previously played that role in a 4-3-3 under Lampard alongside Kovacic, with Kante as the defensive presence.
And there's a very obvious overlap in profile between Mount and Eriksen, who ETH has played as an #8 all season. Despite many here thinking Erisken wouldn't be used that way last summer, wasn't defensively secure enough, would be a rotation player, or would take Bruno's place. The exact same arguments in regard to Mount.
Using Casemiro/Mount/Bruno as the midfield in a 4-3-3 isn't what I'd do. But it seems pretty obviously something ETH is more likely to do than displacing one of Bruno, Rashford and Antony, three of his key and favoured players. If we sign Mount for that kind of starting player money, that's almost certainly how we set up, for good or ill.

Can you please reach out to United with these ideas? Maybe put in an application because we spent far too much so far on average players
That's what people will use against your point.
And rightly so tbf.That's what people will use against your point.
From Chelsea fans:
Runs around a lot, high amount of final third presses albeit with a low success rate but he's another slow, weak player to add to our collection.
