Mount’s last full season he was in double digits in goals and assists without taking penalties, if memory serves? He also carved open City to win the champions league.
Havertz was routinely played out of position when compared to his time in Germany.
I think to call him the most creative passer in the team is doing Enzo a disservice. I also think Sterling has been a much more dangerous attacker than Palmer.
We’re still less than a season’s worth of games into Palmers career. I think he has the talent to justify his price tag eventually but as things stand, I’m not sure what he’s done to deserve so much praise.
Mount was great two seasons ago but since then he declined immensely. I was a big fan of Mount myself and I hoped he’d stay but the club decided to move quickly and find another creative player.
And so far, when comparing Mount’s (few) performances at United so far, it does seem that we have likely made the correct decision.
As for Havertz, he did not play in his best position at Chelsea but he is playing as a 10 at Arsenal and not doing well either. So after years of underperformance (especially when it came to finishing and creativity), it was the right move to make.
Enzo is up there at Chelsea too, but he isn’t being played as high as Palmer to be more influential. Check the article again, Palmer slightly overperforms him.
And I clearly mentioned before that I’m talking about creativity through passing, Sterling does that through dribbles. However, I do agree, Sterling has been really good this season and still hasn’t got much attention which I believe he should get too.
Point being, none of this takes away from Palmer’s solid start to his career - something many Chelsea players recently struggled to do in the beginning of their careers.
