Mason Mount, a Chelsea midfielder, collides with Manchester United players during a Premier League match.
Mason Mount, a Chelsea midfielder, clashes with Manchester United players.
Spurs have already humiliated Manchester United by making 'the signing of the summer' in media-friendly James Maddison. Liverpool spent less to win the World Cup.
Crazy world
'James Maddison deal a snip for Tottenham after Manchester United pay more for Mason Mount' is an odd Daily Mirror headline, given that Spurs have spent £40 million on a three-cap international midfielder who has played 19 games.You may plainly compare, contrast, and frame perceptions of these two quite distinct transfers in whatever way you like. And Andy Dunn claims that signing Maddison for £40 million is a "modern-day snip" and "the signing of the summer."Why? Maddison is described as a "scallywag, a lad, a lovable rogue," and a "maverick talent." Oh, and 'a very gifted footballer' if that's your thing. Most notably, according to a newspaper journalist, "he gave one of the best interviews of the tournament" before the World Cup, in which he played no minutes compared to Mount's 186.
There is no greater indicator of a good footballer than their willingness to speak openly to the media.

So much for Aston Villa getting Youri Tielemans for free, Brentford getting the Bundesliga's finest keeper for £11 million, and Brighton gainingSo much for Aston Villa getting Youri Tielemans for free, Brentford getting the Bundesliga's finest keeper for £11 million, Brighton getting Mahmoud Dahoud for nothing, and Liverpool obtaining a World Cup winner for between £35 million and £55 million, since Spurs have spent £40 million on an English player who does interviews.Mount is more than two years younger, has significantly more elite-level experience, and is more tactically adaptable. However, the price for Mount could wind up being £20 million higher than the amount for Maddison.
It will if the £5 million in add-ons come into play, which have been tied to Mount winning the Premier League or Champions League'multiple' times while at Manchester United, according to BBC Sport, Goal.com, and the Manchester Evening News. In that case, they won't mind paying £60 million for a player who is critical to their success.
It should also be remembered that there are add-ons in the Maddison contract that would bring the total to £45 million. So the worst-case scenario for Spurs is that Mount costs £20 million extra.
But no,still another
According to the Daily Express, 'Man Utd want another Cristiano Ronaldo and Juan Sebastian Veron to follow Mason Mount'.
And that is a really misleading headline for a variety of reasons, which is clearly the intention. So, click.
It's simple: Manchester United want Andre Onana, who would become the club's eighth signing from Serie A if he signs. But a) the headline implies they are looking for two additional signings following Mason Mount, and b) why don't Manchester United want another Matteo Darmian and Sergio Romero to follow Mason Mount?
