Hi Ed’s probably too early to call but do you know if Liverpool would hold any interest in mason mount if he were to fall out of favour at Chelsea.

{Ed002's Note - No, Liverpool have shown no interest in Mason Mount.}

If we signed Mason Mount I’d wonder what Klopp was smoking! Another overrated English player that the media have built up to be more than he is.

Mount isn't a good player imo, he is English, that's where the media hype gets him on a level he really isnt.

{Ed001's Note - really? I disagree completely, he is a very good player who gets stick because he is English and so not a fancy name.}

Mount went from being loved by the media when at Vitesse and Derby to get gradually disliked as his career has been going on at Chelsea. Basically I think he has gone from being a tad overhyped to now a bit underappreciated. I think him not being Jack Grealish is a huge part of it.

My mate who’s a Chelsea fan thinks Mount is their brightest homegrown prospect.

Outstanding player? No, but a very good one who pops up with goals, think people forget he’s still so young with just 18 months of prem experience.

He should change his name to Mountinho ed001.
I agree though he looks like a brilliant young talent, the hype seems to be justified here.

{Ed001's Note - agreed mate, I really like him, he is exactly the kind of midfielder Liverpool could do with. Hard-working, good technique but most of all he gets in good positions to score.}

Mount scores and creates more than any of our current midfield and has the numbers that Jones can only dream about. I have not included Thiago in this assertion as he’s not played on the Prem enough to judge.

Ed, From seeing him, don't see him at the top level, driving a team to a championship, there is a very big number of good, mid level player, who get all sorts of hype to just try and put them on a level their not, tbh, the number of real top draw players is quite short, world class is thrown up alot, i'd take Phillips from Leeds over him, then there are some players who people love and others don't get, depends on what you want from a player in a certain position/ what you expect, to what they actually do, i couldn't take to Kuyt playing on the right, as i'd expect a winger to be pacy, beat a man and have flair, yet when he was in the middle, loved the guy, same with Wijnaldum, liked at Newcastle, frustrates me now because i expect something more, yet the job he does has workes, that's why i prefer Jones over him now, we all love and see players differently, its fascinating to see others views.

{Ed001's Note - whereas I wouldn't take Phillips over him at all. He is an excellent long-range passer and works hard, but lacks mobility and skill. Mount is an almost perfect player for the Henderson-type role, driving a midfield forward but also getting back to cover gaps, while adding a few goals. Mount's problem is that he has been massively overused by Lampard, he was running him into the ground and his displays often reflected that.}

Eds, him in the Henderson role and deeper would suit us, i often saw him playing too wide at Chelsea and didn't think it suited him, maybe that different position down the middle deeper would help change my opinion of him, , id have him over Gini certainly, just think price from a rival would be too much, better players out there, i like Phillips range of passing, that's what does appeal to me, head forward i like, think i'm in the Keegan class of attack attack attack, ha.

{Ed001's Note - he did get wasted a bit as a winger last season, but that was because they were short of them, hence bringing in a few in the summer. Phillips is ok, but I just don't think his range of passing is enough to make up for his deficiencies. He is a bit like a cut-price Thiago.}
