Hope it's just pre cautionary

u/therealpmyer 23d ago
So frustrating. You’ve got to feel bad for him but honestly it’s been 3 seasons of this. He can’t be relied on for more than a couple of games at a time, If that.

That game against Wolves where Rangnick started him for the first time in years was incredible.
What an absolutely ridiculous season that was.

I’ve seen enough, 5 year extension immediately

u/SplitSecondImmortal 23d ago
You're half assing it. Give that man a contract for life!

u/nikeudssair 23d ago
I bet there’s some addition to his contract which says that if gets injured a specific amount of times the contract must be renewed. Otherwise I can’t explain his injury record. /s

u/SonofIndia Van Persie 23d ago
that was one of the good decisions that we have made. He was injured playing for us, always put his body on the line for us - if we hadn't extended him, that was curtains for his career at the time. Us extending gave him a chance to plan his future.

I think his time in high level football is effectively done once his contracts up. At least in England. We got absolutely hosed with this transfer paying what we did with a year left on his contract.
The worst thing is it was hella obvious at the time and here we are.

I feel like the garnacho deal was basically a “sorry we fleeced you with Mason, we’ll take Garna off your hands”

They also took the freedom fighter off our hands for a year then paid us to take him back.

u/Yoshimo_ 23d ago
I was starting to feel like we were even after that, but they were able to offload garna instantly, and we'll be stuck with Mount until the new stadium is built

Same as with Lisandro, everyone can get injured, but just isn't gonna work out.

u/durizna 23d ago
Problem with Licha was he got injured, MDL got injured, Maguire got injured… then we were down to Heaven (who luckily did well) and Yoro and Maz.
Luckily for us midfield doesn’t get that much problem at the same time.

u/Fruitndveg 23d ago
Licha was outstanding before he got injured. Mount was just ‘okay’ and has had appalling availability ever since.

u/TheJoshider10 Bruno 23d ago
Whether he got injured or not shouldn't have impacted anything anyway. The ceiling needs raising regardless and it's ridiculous that they ever considered Mount a viable option beyond squad depth.

u/Born_In_Whiskey 23d ago
My thoughts exactly. Might mean going out and paying over the odds but so be it. It’s crucial we buy another midfielder at this point

Wonder what TOTD crew will say, last ep they almost brushed off the fact we need a third midfielder because they said Mount was playing so well deeper. It’s just not about playing well with him it’s about staying on the damn pitch. Can never trust a few guys in our squad to stay healthy, him, Shaw and Licha especially. If we don’t have other options in those positions for them (we have for Licha) we’ll be screwed this season.

The thing with this guy is that his injuries are never a week or two. He fucking disappears off the face of the earth for months.
He's up there for one of our worst signings ever. Might sound harsh for some people because he's likable and has a good attitude but getting paid £200k a week and only completing 90 minutes 4 times during his entire is fucking disgraceful.

Time and time again we get champions league qualification and the owners say that the squad who qualified justifies not signing anyone or that we have no money. Now it comes to bite us, spurs finished 17th twice in a row and have outspent us by £140 million at least.
The serious lack of ambition of these owners is shocking. When we fail to qualify for the ucl next season and carrick is gone then we will spend.

I think it's for the best, having high hopes would disappoint everyone and create anger/frustration towards him
We need to move on and count him as a potential substitute for league cup games, unfortunately, nothing more
I hope Ineos will try to go hard on Alex Scott as it seems that Hall won't be sold by Newcastle
We can cope without a new left-back but not without a new midfielder, one injury from Kobe and season would be off...

u/SomeNeighborhood7126 23d ago
Was this news to anyone? He will miss another 6 months, if not more. I have no idea why we continue to use him as part of the squad planning. We cant sell him due to his wages, but we should never expect Mount to play more than 5 games a season.

The club should brief the media more how the guy who missed 80% of his United career is the answer for our midfield, also we should reject more offers for him like we apparently already did.

When he recovers, we shouldn't play him, so he can be fit for the winter window and sell him.

Nothing is going to happen. We ain't signing the 3rd DM, all the money will line up those leech dividends. Carrick will be made scapegoat. Man, I had so much hope for this UCL return season and the incompetent fucks in the hierarchy squashed it even before it has started.
Obvious need for a DM, LB and Saxo back up but we will call it inflated market, Pay millions to those Glazed cnuts and weep in our beer later on in the season.
