You just know for a fact that if Liverpool wanted mount they’d get him for £40m but because it’s Utd every team just loves to double the price.

£40M sounds about right. If they insist on much more than that, we should move along.
I'd say it's more that people have seen plenty of Mount and don't see him as worth getting into a protracted back and forth over. There's a huge difference between 40m and 70m. People want to see us be decisive with the limited funds we have. It's completely reasonable to want us to look elsewhere.
Everytime I open this thread, I hope to be greeted by a tweet saying we're not interested anymore.
This is not true at all. Andy Carroll was pretty much that scenario to Liverpool
looks like it literally just happened with macallister
Sorry, which major trophies was Harry Maguire winning as the best player in the side at age 22?
£55 is fair. Bellingham just went for £86m. £70m is a joke.
I don't blame Chelsea for asking for 70m, they know very well they won't get that no matter what but they are driving a hard bargain to get as much as possible, it'll settle around 45m-50m, if United stick to their guns and get Mount to pressure the club
with pretty much every big transfer that drags on a bit some journalist or other says that personal terms are agreed
it gets clicks and there is no way or proving it’s horseshit, if the deal doesn’t go through then you can just say the clubs couldn’t agree a few
in my opinion it’s just a perfect open goal for a journalist to get clicks with no recourse if it’s wrong, and most of the time its bollocks
The longer it goes on the more desperate Chelsea will be to sell.
£70 million plus add ons is a Ludacris amount for Mount.
That's because we're stupid enough to keep paying.
We should just walk away. That ridiculous
We got a bargain ourselves. The WC finalist striker who almost single handedly brought World Cup to Netherlands. For free, we only paid his wages.
70m... hah, keep dreaming Boehly ye smelly yetti.
Despite the rules, you go and agree personal terms with a player first and then try to negotiate a fee. You won't go close to the other club and start negotiating the deal if the player isn't 100% fine with the move. Which is kind of logical.
£45m is fair for a player that can sign a new contract elsewhere in January. Anything more than that should be heavily incentive based. I’m not sure what Chelsea think they have but it’s not someone who’s compatible to the talent of Jude Bellingham.
It will take years of refusing to pay over the odds, better scouting and patience before we get rid of the United tax due to previous poor spending. Clearly no one is paying £70M for Mount with a year left... but because it is us, Chelsea will try for it.
Liverpool bought Darwin Nunez for £85 million (could raise to over £100 million, which isn't very likely on what we have seen so far ) but lets not just totally forget all their duds, just because someone on twitter reported they paid 35 million for someone's release clause.
They paid £65m rising to £85m with add ons which will definitely be paid as they’re pretty easy targets from what I recall even with him being as shite as he has.
Disagree. I think Chelsea’s new owners are as bad as Woodward. Remember how we dealt with Pogba.
Maybe it’s because he has hoes in different area codes?
You guys get so hung up on price.
70m for a guy that will be available for free next year while Chelsea need to sell for FFP? This is absolutely the right circumstance to get hung up on price.
Well, it is definitely grinding some people's gears. This is Frenkie de Jong price from last summer with an added bonus that many of us are a bit baffled how he fits in on top of some underwhelming performances he produced so far.
On the bright side, there is no way we give Chelsea close to what they are looking for imo.
why you all in my ear talking a whole bunch of shit that I ain't trying to hear? Get back motherfecker, you don't know me like that.
Exactly. So we're in agreement.
Was about to make this point. £55m is overpaying in light of his contract situation, but it's a fair price for Chelsea and we're not trying to feck them over.
Just hope he doesn't turn out to be another Juan Mata who was also Chelsea player of year.
I’m walking away
From the Boehly’s in my life
I’m walking away
Oh, I’ll buy Idrissa Gueye

Macallister went for £35m anything above £45m is a rip off and I still dont want him
We should be nowhere near Mount, especially for the amounts quoted.
He’s the type of player that brings a bit of nothingness to the collective game of the team.
He can shine individually by a goal here and there, or a nice play sometimes, but he brings nothing to the global level of the team. I fail to see what he can bring to United except some depth, but I’d rather keep VdB or bring back Lingard on a free rather than splash £50m on Mount

You and me both, brother. Don’t rate him at all.
55m. Or are add ons only relevant during united transfers.
Surely, if there was ever a transfer to show that you do business different to the previous regime, its this one?
United not desperate for Mount, can offer a take it or leave it £45m, if they reject it walk away because, he is free next year and I doubt any takers appear this summer.
We need to learn to walk away from a deal.

It depends what the add ons are, mount is not a better player
