He's gonna be worse than Phil Jones at this rate. At least Jones, for all the memes and jokes, provided some solid performances on the pitch throughout his short career on the pitch for us.
Our style isn't working anyway, we don't need someone pressing that high up the field, we do much better when we do a mid press, which is probably why Ugarte has been brought in anyway. We'll pack the mid and transition from there instead of the high press.
What have they got to do with anything? If you are referring to the fact he rejected him that’s silly.
They’ve been rejected by that many footballers over the past couple of seasons they probably don’t even remember that Mount rejected them.
What an awful signing 
Broken player. No use in even thinking about him as part of the squad. Take the #7 off him and give it to Garna and then we move on with our lives
Thankfully we have pushed back hard in the media over the last 24 hours that this is nonsense and we are being used to drum up interest in Sterling.
That's not wrong. We played the best under ETH when he played mid-block in his first season here. Unfortunately, he completely abandoned that after the first season and we have tried this high pressing system from the second season on.
Was so obviously a stupid purchase even if he’d always been fit, yet you had cnuts on here justifying it because “English, young!”
Funniest was the resident Chelsea fans defending Mount to the death saying how brilliant he was
Mount has barely had a single contribution for us so far. His pressing is as valuable as Antony's defensive workrate/ball retention, basically nothing..
At least Antony has been key in some of our best wins in the past two seasons, Mount hasnt had even 1 highlight.
I’d be laughing if it wasn’t so sad.
Predictably a terrible signing for us. 55m down the drain.

It's honestly insane how much we spent with transfer fee and wages on a player who can only play in the same position that our captain plays in (who doesn't get injured or rested ever), even though he had 1 year left on his deal. Incredible really.
With 1 year left on his contract.
And Bruno already here playing in Mount's best position.
Laughable that anyone at the club and the manager thought this was a good idea, and so many posters on here convinced themselves it was too. Anyone who questioned this signing at the time was apparently being "too negative" and they should "trust the manager knows what he's doing".
Absolute crock. He's our new Hargreaves. He would've been great to have to press against Pool, but at least now we hopefully get Bruno back in the 10 and Zirkzee finally gets a start.
And we had to give him the number 7 to convince him. Jesus wept.
Mount can't stay fit and can't be seen doing anything effective on it. £60 million down the drain. He huffs and puffs but lacks a punch, whether that be assists or goals. I have no idea what Ten Hag was thinking with this dreadful signing.
We need to stop making any plans about tactics and strategy that depend on injury prone players. If hes fit to be a sub, so be it, but we need to focus on players with good records.
If mctominay goes, assuming mount will be injured alot, we're too light in midfield

Well at least at the end of the season we'll be able to say we had a cohesive press for 100 minutes. Puts a bit more pressure on Zirkzee now but I don't think he'll mind.
Here's one to put the cat amongst the pigeons: what if we now need to keep McTominay so we can keep playing four midfielders? Hehe

Utter fecking disaster of a signing.
I didn't want him at the time, but he's been even worse than I feared.

Chelsea must be pissing themselves laughing
Around January 2023 is when it started to happen. From then on he missed 13 matches which was over half of the remaining games Chelsea had left. Importantly he was injured until the end of May which meant he didn’t play a single minute of their last 7 matches.
Certainly wasn’t a Phil Jones but the warning signs were there. Unfortunately it looks like he’s gone completely into the injury prone mess now.
Hey, that's not fair. He was also injured when we signed him.
I feel bad for the morons who were bigging him up when he joined. Morons who said he was Chelsea's best player. Morons who said he would thrive here. Morons like me.
I'm not sure Mount gets signed under the new regime. At least not for the money we paid
It is kind of weird shit that every single fan last year knew that Mount's transfer is a bad one but people in charge didn't.
Exactly. If you sign a player with a year left on his contract for £60mil, and pay him £250k a week, he has to be a guaranteed starter.
No, not his fault. But its out fault for turning a blind eye to that.
I feel we may be making the same mistake with De Ligt. He missed 20 games last season to injury.
We know Kim is pretty erratic at Bayern, so is there something that Bayern know that we dont?
holy crap injured already?
That's not even close to true.
Like there isn't enough shit to bash the club with over the last decade without just completely pulling stuff out of your arse. Doesn't stop it happening every day on here though, of course.
He missed a lot of football the season before we bought him.That's not even close to true.

You're right though, we haven't spent £50m. It was £55m.
He played 24 league games that season. He played 32+ league games every other season he was in their first team. He didn't come anywhere remotely close to missing 18 months of football in his whole Chelsea career. It's made up.
4 years left on his contract by the way. And he's on 250k per week. Maguire is on 190k and people nearly lost their mind last summer when we couldn't sell him
Just can't seem to catch a break.
For the love of Christ.
Solves the selection problem then doesn't it.
The guys the new Phil Jones.
The guys the new Phil Jones.
He's missed 50 games in the last two seasons regardless, and has now done his hamstring in.
It ain't looking good.
Crocked again.
Yeah, the majority of which came after we signed him. Which means the "we spent 50m on him after he'd been injured for 18 months" thing I quoted is bollocks.
The reality of how badly we've been run for most of the last decade is bad enough. Why do people need to keep making shit up?
I think the poster is getting confused, as he’s now been basically injured for 18 months, but I agree that wasn’t the case when we signed him.
What minor, it will be 1 1/2 season and he kicked the ball for like what 5 times?
Most of the posters here knew this is a disaster of transfer waiting to happen with the huge transfer fee for a mediocre injury prone, who is in his last year contract, earning gigantic wages.
Few who "know football" better than the rest thought this was an amazing transfer that will "surprise a few" here.
