I think if he was going to be a centre mid we’d see him come on in games in centre mid. I think they see him now as a utility attacker can fit in anywhere in that 3 behind the striker and do a decent job. More a squad player than a nailed on starter in every game. Was a lot of money to spend on that sort of player but injuries make him hard to judge.
You couldn’t really see him and Mainoo playing together as a midfield 2.
Big job in the summer replacing Casemiro and Eriksen, need two good players in their prime and we won’t have fortunes to spend on them.
I think a bit differently. I think Mount was a panic buy, and due to injury he hasn't been able to get any chances playing anywhere. I think ETH's initial plan was to try and find him a role in the team, as his primary position is occupied nearly 100% of the time. That role has not been decided yet and might not ever be taking into consideration a possible new manager. He might just sell him instantly, or decide there is no role for him with us.I think if he was going to be a centre mid we’d see him come on in games in centre mid.

Well it makes the most sense considering ETH does not drop Bruno and Mount plays in that exact position. So roll your eyes all you want, but I think the majority of people realise this now. The rules aren't that hard in basic management - you buy players that fit 100% into your team, you don't buy players that become a second wheel for huge amounts of money, it's a massive waste of resources.

Can't find the information, but I was sure he came near the end of the window. I'll take your word for it and put it down to dodgy memory. Oh well, it was kinda off topic anyways.I don't think he can be called a panic but they signed him right at the start of the summer, I think he was a planned signing. Injuries just mean we haven't seen what the plan was.
I think they probably saw him as someone who'd contribute in a number of roles through the season rather than solve a specific problem.
He's going nowhere all the FFP/PSR nonsense unless someone's willing to cough up 80% of what we paid for him as that's what is still on the books and match his wages. After that injury hit season he'd be a hard player to move on. I think he'll get a fresh start next season under whoever is in charge and hopefully we will see more from him as he is a good player.
How much money do you think we will have?Yeah I think Utd have got to be looking for 2 centre mids in the summer who are good enough to start every week. Mainoo then supplements them and if we're in europe he'll rotate in and out with them as we'll have 2 games a week.
How much money do you think we will have?
You want 2 CM, at least 2 CB, a forward, a RW, and I'm pretty sure you've mentioned full backs too.
In reality we will get 1 cm, 1 cb a forward, and possibly a replacement for Antony if we can sell him.
Not only will the money not be available, you cannot bring more than 4 new players in imo.
The club must surely be thinking about bringing Sancho and or Greenwood back to save some money.
Greenwood, we all heard it, but the case was dropped and he's got a kid with the girl and they are living together. There must be a way to bring an exceptional talent like that back to the club.
And I don't care how young Mainoo is, if he's the best player in the club at that position, he should play

Stop being such a cock, I admitted my error.Easy mistake to make, it was 5/6 years ago now ....
And you accuse me of being on drugs

Don't bother going on another rant as I am not being drawn into it. Leave it alone, you've won. I can't be bothered.
I'm just saying there needs to be a good standard of competition for his place to keep everyone on their toes.
When he needs time out of the side through his development there has to be quality to come in for him, no ones spot should be guaranteed.
His route into the team has probably been easier because the competition isn't there at the moment but to keep that spot he should be kept on his toes.
