People compare Havertz and Mount, Arteta at least knows what he’s doing with Havertz whether you agree or disagree with him. He’s trying to get the best out of his signing whereas bald fraud has no idea why he signed the likes of Mount, Antony, Malacia, etc etc

    I thought Chelsea robbed Arsenal and United by selling this duo for a total of 125m Pounds. Personally, I never rated either of these guys. Not just their fees, also their salaries are ridiculously high.

    That being said, I can at least understand being fooled by the idea of Havertz. It’s the football equavilant of the “I can save her” syndrome. Havertz looks like a dream on paper. Ridiculously tall and well built, despite his length he looks natural on the ball. He can see the pitch, has the tools to become a good playmaker.

    But similar to Joao Felix, those tools just somehow don’t end up creating an effective player on the pitch. So I thought Havertz was a stupid transfer for Arsenal; yet again, I can understand Arteta’s point of view.

    However with Mount…can someone please explain to me why has he played for Chelsea and United; while Prowse spent his career in Southampton and now West Ham? Seriously, what do people see in Mount?

    He’s a midfielder with below average playmaking skills and technique, a winger with no dribbling and quickness. Hard working but poor defensively so cannot play a holding role.

    So what’s the point? What good is his versatility when he’s not suitable for any position whatsoever? What did ETH to get out of him?

    One thing I can give him is that he plays a very direct, daring game that could be valuable in high pressing play. You can keep him on that pocket behind the striker, where he can press and make runs to score a goal.

    But which contending team is going to give Mount that kind of role? So I think he could do well in a mid table team.
