Why wouldn't a few players have us competing on their level? I mean, competing with them is the immediate aim surely? The expectation next season is to make a serious push for the title and other cup competitions.
For which you get a better footballer in this case
We could get a bit closer to them on a short term basis but it will take a lot more before we win back to back titles and get to the final of the champions league.
Me since Fellaini.
ETH better have a bloody good idea to use him.
Exactly, more than 50 it would mean he is a 100m player if he had years on his contract, which I don't think he would be worth.
You’re probably looking at then 5 or 6 players and getting rid of some established names that are in the first team to really be at the level of competing for the title and champions league. Or to hope next season they fall apart.
Mount if he can get back to form probably be a solid addition and every little helps, I’m not sure he would be part of the main midfield going forward. Like say we are really in for Rice and say we manage to get both. Surely you’re midfield base would be Cas and Rice then you just let Bruno do Bruno things.
Mount would be pretty much a squad player. Nothing wrong with that he’d be a solid addition but if Sabitzer costs less might as well make that move permanent.
As it stands we believe Mount is coming to play as an 8,we are most likely wrong. The reason for mac allister is simply because he has is a proven 8 whilst Mount would be getting converted into an 8 if that's the position we want him for. If the 8 thing is true would you rather have someone we know has done well as an 8 or would you want to spend on someone we aren't sure would perform at that position to a high level.
You really have to give it to our scouts they are stealing a living out there if this is the kind of targets they "dig up".
Hes one of those players thats looks good but doesn’t seem to get the end product when in fact he actually does.
Chelsea are a shitshow and we need one of those players who looks good but doesn’t seem to get a lot of end product but actually can and will do in our setup, basically a hybrid 8-10 like pogba but an actual proper player.
He also could be shit but I don’t think he will be. Aggressive player with technique.

Feel like he will turn out to be a better Van de Beek.
Really feel like what this team needs someone with high passing volume and accuracy, as we just lack someone who is really elite on the ball in midfield. \
We have a Keane in Casemiro, we need a Scholes.

So if personal terms have been agreed, how much is this cnut taking home every week?
Looks like there as good at selling players as they are buying them.
I wouldn't put it past United in paying that.
1 year left on his contract? Ha! they can bugger off.
Same with Spurs and £100m for Kane with 1 year left.

Thank you to Chelsea for making this the world’s easiest choice (if true). Nobody should pay more than 50m for him. On to the next one.
Hugely contradictory to every other report which says that they won’t keep players in the last year of their contract and the he will be moved on. That they were looking for 60-70m, and we were offering less.
They are just waiting for more suitors. Cue some team from Italy randomly showing interest soon.
Problem is that we are dumb enough to pay it.
Yep. Thankfully we dont have the money to throw around, so we should be fine.
But £58million is daylight robbery, I wouldn't pay that if he had 4 years left on his contract let alone 1!
If that report is true, which I find dubious, there would be no reason not to get Caicedo instead. Get him and then see if Mount wants to sign at Chelsea. If he doesn't we can attempt for him next year.
To me there's no reason I would even contemplate anything near that figure for Mount when Caicedo is available.

There are two ways to play 4-3-3, when boiled down to its simplest definitions. With a regular triangle, or with an inverted triangle in midfield.
Against Spurs at OT, for example, we played with an inverted triangle with Fred pushed high. Likely our best performance of the season. The high press was superb. And Fred was magnificent. But he’s not consistent in that role. More often than not last season we played with a regular bottom heavy triangle with Casemiro’s partner sitting deep. The front press and the overloads suffered significantly as a result.
Mount would allow us to play a more aggressive front press and regularly give us more overloads in the transition. He also has the legs to get back, and the creativity to provide good service to the front players.
i can easily see why ETH wants him so much. I think we’ll be able to play his preferred system more regularly with two forwards thinking 8s. It’s why I prefer him over Caicedo.

35m, max
Don’t believe a word of it but next summer could be a really cheap one for us at this rate
This ain’t 2010
Tell them to get fecked. Make the scouts earn their keep for a change
1 year left, Chelsea need to sell, he wants to leave
Maybe they might negotiate a price instead of walking away based on an ITK Twitter account? I dunno, could be worth a try.
This better not drag on all summer.
Can’t believe the fees mentioned, come on. Get Sabitzer for 20 and make 100+ available for a REALLY GOOD striker
Meh if we sign him, Meh if we don't.
Walk away™
I don't think anyone is expecting an exact replication of what City have done, that'd be weird. But we absolutely should be competing for titles next season, assuming this summer doesn't go disastrously wrong.
£50-60m is a perfectly acceptable offer. If they want more, move on.
Might be a case of him pushing for it, or waiting till next year.
Bloody hell. I am not getting into a muppet train for this guy (choo choo).
The FDJ ride was wild and funny and, Jeez, the prize was exciting (though we knew he wasn’t coming). We can’t do two months of “will we get Mason Mount?”, we’ll expire.
