    The logic wasn’t without merit. I have seen so many guys leave Chelsea and do great!

    Mount should’ve worked imo. I was annoyed because when he is at it, he’s fantastic. Even when he isn’t scoring goals or getting assists, he can still make teams better. He will never be the main guy but he was a great cog in literally any system he is asked to play in. Could assist and had the selfishness to score goals at the right moments. If Man U got 2021 Mount. Then it would’ve been a slam dunk.

    Havertz I knew was a bigger risk for Arsenal. Tall without the strength, and he isn’t shifty in tight areas. Also for some reason his first touch is fine…. But it’s just a little off. Like it’s JUST too heavy and the defender gets it off of him. But he isn’t really a massive goal threat. I never really knew what he was. Imo should’ve stayed at Bayer for a couple more seasons.

      Cmon where is Mount going to succeed? Bruno is the better AM, Eriksen is a better CM and Casemiro and Amrabat are better DM. Not to mention McTominay and Van de Beek who are all valuable options for their midfield. It never made sense.

      Kai Havertz I dont think made a lot of sense either. He is competing with Odegaard and Fabio Vieira for the number 10 role.

      Mount to united doesn’t make sense not because mount is a bad player but because he doesn’t fit in their squad. He’s best in a midfield or forward role where his defence impact is pressing a back line. So either the more advanced 8 or a 10 or on a wing with a wingback to defend the wide areas and provide width. At united those roles are taken by Fernandes and rashford and we’ve seen Fernandes is best with a double pivot which I don’t think mount works best in. Weird signing imo, mount would’ve been much better at Liverpool or arsenal.

        i agree 100%…Chelsea fans not only were mostly done with him but when we saw he was going to a place he was unlikely to succeed, even better. Had he gone to Liverpool especially he might have cooked. At Arsenal he would have been a better fit than Havertz has been.

      When Man Utd signed Mount I was over the moon. Then I realized he and Bruno play basically the same position and when both are in there it becomes a total CF.
