We were linked with Mount for a long time, I’m so glad he didn’t come to Liverpool though. I don’t think he’s particularly elite at anything. He’s a good but not great player. For the wages he’s reportedly on at United he needs to do a lot more.
Yeah he is not that good to be given a #7 I suppose. He is not that elite also not sure what was going exactly in United's head.
I think United bought him at a bit expensive price tag but that's alright. To be honest, United didn't had a need to buy him but they might need him in scenarios when Fernandes get injured because there is no backup for Fernandes at United. It would be Rashford but then they have to give forward duties to Martial which is not much reliable. For such scenarios I would rather prefer some young talent to given some chances. Not sure if they wanted to leap on to the opportunity or what but I find Mount signing a bit unnecessary.
He’s now out injured for up to 6 weeks too so it gets worse. Give me Mac Allister and Szoboszlai instead of him every day of the week. Mount is another overrated, overpriced English player.
Mac Allister and Szoboszlai are massive signings for Liverpool. Mac Allister is a very strong center midfield. He has great understanding of the game and as for Szoboszlai he is a great dribbler as well. Liverpool right hand side is very strong with Arnold, Szoboszlai and Salah. Klopp is really a mastermind. Szoboszlai and Salah can really pair up very well not in terms of passing sense but also in terms of generating spaces. Just imagine if Szoboszlai is given a rather inside forward role to drive in load of opponent players to free up Salah up ahead on the right....that really gives me the creeps.
