The College Dropout Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Can Mount play 8? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Gallagher and Mount to Liverpool could be like when they let go Salah and De Bruyne, I don’t think they’ll be at the same elite level but they could both be very good under the right manager. Shades of PSG selling their young local talent to bring in exorbitantly expensive mercenaries. Yeah PSG are a super club now but is anyone there really happy with where the project is?

gbandit Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 With regards to PSG being happy, clearly not. It’s a disaster of a club. If they can’t win the CL then the club is a failure, that’s as simple as it gets. You can’t have players on your books earning the money they earn and not be winning the CL or at least getting to the final. Some fans turned on Messi because they’re imbeciles. They’re a joke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 He might want to go back to Barcelona, understandable if he does. That doesn't take away from him being one of their top two best performers all season and individually being the best performer in many games I’ve watched. He’s not the kind of person to start throwing performances. Sure, PSG are an idiotic club for bringing him in as a vanity product rather than trying to grow the club in a more organic way but that’s not Messi’s fault Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of 10s are increasingly being used as a third 8 in a 4-3-3 that is tasked with unlocking defences and/or scoring goals. Odegaard at Arsenal for example. Or even the way De Bruyne is used there now, and David Silva was also his final years at Man City too etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 City do it but they dominate possession next level - both Silva’s are an example of this. I think Odegaard plays more 10 than 8. I don’t see him in the defensive positions Henderson or Willock get into. A Klopp 8 gets back and plays infront of the fullback at times. But Aye Mount can do the Odegaard role.

KaKa Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Yeah, I just meant in the the way they line up i.e. in a 4-3-3, as Arsenal still keep that shape defensively too. Aside from that though, I would say Mount is more adept defensively than Odegaard as far as dropping back goes. He's played a lot in central midfield over his career - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mason-mount/leistungsdaten/spieler/346483/plus/0?saison=ges Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Let’s let the club with countless investigations against it continue to do what they want in the transfer market, seems like a sound strategy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the most creative player but he's pretty press resistant, finds the half-space, has very good technique with shooting and is under rated and utilized as a presser of the ball. He's better in a right-sided 8 role than Gallagher, with Gallagher still needing more time to develop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 So they're trying to get around the rule if signing players on no more than 5-year contracts.by then getting them through the door and extending them by 10 years. Dodgy fucking cunts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 What's his motivation for going that extra mile to drag them out the shit when needed? I assume there's multiple clauses in there that prevents him from coasting for the last 3/4 years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
