This is becoming a joke. Walk away from Mount. Chelsea taking piss now, chap doesn't even want to play for them so he be free agent next summer.
 
As a Chelsea fan my jaw actually dropped when I just saw the latest bid was rejected. I’m shocked that we didn’t accept the £55m.

What's the betting Arsenal or dare I say it scousers would have got it done cheaper
 
I'm getting Woodward vibes here with the way this transfer's being dealt with. I get that they find Mount to be valuable, but if they don't play him that often and mainly keep him at the bench, of course his valuation's going to be lower by the rest of the market. Poch wanting to keep Mount won't necessarily lead to more first-team minutes, anyways.

The fact that they want to meet in person tells me that they want to resolve this ASAP, too, and are just looking to eke out every single Pound possible.
 
Everyone knows the people running the club are mugs so this to be expected. Murtough/Arnold and co will drag it out but cave in. It’s what we do.
 
As much as I think he'd be a good signing, yep, leave the offer on the table and refuse to go higher.
 
Don't go back in with more money, it feels like we're at top dollar now. If he's going to cost silly money, it would be better spent elsewhere.
 
We've been run by imbeciles for a decade and overpaid for most transfers. Not surprised all clubs try to swindle us
 
Surely Erik has a plan B and if he still wants the move we come back in January or summer 24
 
If we do not walk away now, it would be confirmation number 38573628 that this club is ruled by morons.
 
While it's fine saying we should walk away (and I kind of agree with it) the reality is that if ETH wants that specific attacking profile of #8 then I struggle to think of a better fit than Mount. Hopefully our scouts have actually done the job and have a less obvious but still quality fit lined up.
 
We 1000% should walk away from this.

We can't let clubs keep mugging us for fools. He's available on a free next season.
 
Go and get that deep lying 8 who is good in the buildup phase instead Erik. De Jong is not the only player out there who can do it
 
Thing is Mount seriously wants the move. This will get done one way or another. Even though they said final offer I think they’ll final offer it at 55m + 5M with ridiculous add ons.
 
just walk away FFS. Can't get bullied into overpaying every single time ... at some point, United will have to get smarter with this stuff.
 
Rabiot on a free this summer and tee Mount up on a free for next summer. It’s not a perfect solution but there are other fires that need putting out first.

Not sure if you have seen tweet in Rabiot Thread but seems he is staying at Juve
 
Not walking away now will affect our negotiations for a keeper and a striker and increase the budget by 30m.
 
If we have told them this is the final offer and we are walking away then we need
to do that otherwise we will be looking like mugs. Tell them to feck off. The valuation is already over and beyond what the player is worth with a year on his contract.

I figured you'd take it but have throughout this had in mind that you are a strange club when it comes to transfers.
 
55m is a fair deal for both clubs, it’s a real pain that they’ve rejected that one. They seem determined to get over 60m for him, though I really don’t want to go above that number.

Considering they want to get this deal over the line quickly, I assume that we will find an agreement, but I hope that it isn’t above 60m. I think I would slap 5m in add ons onto our current offer but no more than that.

I don’t think so. The club managing to squeeze £65m or more out of Arsenal for Havertz probably gave them confidence to hold out for the price they want for Mount. If the Havertz deal hadn’t happened I bet Mount would go for much less.
 
Just tell them that's our last offer or we will get him on a free next Summer. Maybe on January on a heavily discount fee to, but don't cave to their demand
I mean, there’ll be a lot more competition if he’s available on a free, no guarantee we’d get him then
