Show me where they have recouped over 100m? They also seem to have great PR which is never questioned until it’s too obvious to be Overlooked.
Just offer them money to loan him for 1 season. Then sign for free
Remember when we walked away from Perisic over 5£m and got Alexis in January instead.
Oh ya Perisic has been so amazing for Spurs
OK Lingard at West Ham may have been too small a sample size. But I'm saying that, although they had good seasons, I never thought they were actually top level players that would deliver this for the rest of their careers like top players do. Another somewhat similar player, who I also felt the same about, was Dele Alli. Also talked up to high heavens on here. I agree actually with @TheMagicFoolBus that Mount, and all these other players are system players. But I think they don't have the individual quality to sustain it or operate to the same level elsewhere. It was the same with Mkhitaryan, Kagawa, Van de Beek. And it's not always possible to recreate the environment for these players to find that level again. Even Potter/Lampard couldn't get it out of him last season at the same club.
Havertz will be done over the weekend for £65m. Kova likewise for between £25-30m. Ziyech, Koulibaly, and Mendy are reportedly in the medical/paperwork phase and will be done within days. That’s comfortably over £100m. And that’s before we sell Mount for another £50-60m. Plus I’m sure 2-3 more deadwood players will be sold.

Where was the white text?
You missed out Bayern and Inter and all trophies. But we can talk about him 5 years later down the line.
Yeah! I can see Chelsea going for that! Please take our player and our money!
£55m was a good deal for Chelsea. We need to walk away. Such an odd signing as if he comes in I can't see us signing cover for Casimero which is our biggest weakness in midfield.
Onana, Rice and Muani would be my choice and maybe achievable if we can sell Henderson, and Maguire or Mctominay. We are just so slow and redundant of ideas in the recruitment and negotiation department.

No!! Tell me about the 100m business that they have officially done. We can count is once it’s done.
Can't say I disagree. I've defended Murtough and Arnold but if they cave in to paying the same amount for Havertz then they've not got the fortitude for their jobs. Give Chelsea a deadline to accept and only be flexible in payment schedules and the like. If it doesn't work, alternative target time.
I agree and wiith what somebody else respnded, its why we need new owners to for a more consiistent budget as much as a bigger one.
The stories seem to say we wont walk away, which is fooolish. I think this deal goes through and its £60m+ high 50s and lower add on or vice versa.
I would rather Caqueret who I think would be nearer £40 and maybe under.....or Caicedo or Barella for more. This isnt just my personal opinion that they are all better players and offer more as a career here....I think all three bring more all round to the probably role Mount would be filling.I think Mount offers a lot in the final third for us as an attacking threar and pressing, but I think we are weakest over all parts of the middle third of the pitch end to end....the other three I feel offer far more than Mount, not just defensively either
So at this moment in time they’re idiots but in 2-3 days they’ll be geniuses?
We’ll see. The majority of Arsenal and United fans want us to walk away.
£65m now or can sign him for free in January. No brainer
Third offer. Not good enough for Chelsea, fine walk away and sign him for free in 12 months.
And why would they accept that?
Hell will freeze over before Bayern pay 55 mil for mount... Let alone the 65 million asking price
The pressure may come from Ten Hag if he's fed up of missing out on his first choice targets.
It also depends who the viable alternatives are.
"Sign him next summer for free" sounds great, but if we end up spending £60m on an alternative this summer, by next year the space in the team for Mount may not be as obvious.
I really think we need 2 midfielders this summer either way. I won't be happy if we don't reinforce our midfield this summer just so we can wait for Mount next year, when there's no 100% guarantee he ends up joining us anyway. If you don't strengthen the weak areas this summer you can pay the price next season. We've seen it before where we do all the hard work getting back into the top 4, then have a shit transfer window and we end up going backwards or stagnating.
Mac Allister honestly would have made so much more sense than this circus of chasing Mount for an extortionate price. No idea how we let him go to Liverpool for peanuts, or why he would choose Liverpool over us.
Wouldn't say he is most underwhelming since Matic,however think the main reason we won't walk away from this deal to go for Caicedo is because they are different profile of midfielders
Fcuk em. Chelsea are being greedy. Time to reverse course; £40m or we’re done.
We can wait till next year for him if they don’t take our new offer.
Our scouting network should have other options lined up for a lot less money.

I mean they’ve already sold 5 players and are about to get a combined 130 mil for Havertz and Mount so no they aren’t as bad as us
That bayern munich wants Mason Mount thing sounds like horsechokerbullshit.
Can we moonwalk on out of this now, please.
I reckon we'll stick to our guns and not increase the £55m bid. He'll then sign for Liverpool for £40m.. United tax and all that.
If the reports that it was a final offer, we’re true, then there should be no option but to take the offer off the table and walk away.
Now some press reports are saying that a face-to-face negotiation is now going to take place.
That could only result in having to pay more anyway.
So much for “final offer”.
Fecks sake! Don’t do it.

Credibility would require walking way right now, not waiting for a week.
Mount isn't worth that, he's above average
I'd imagine Tuchel knows what he has to offer.
I am done. Just walk away, and try to get him again in next winter window, for like 15m bid.
We should have an upper hand the longer it takes, not them.

We won't get Rice but there is real possibility of being able to sign the other two
Let’s hope you keep him.
Walk away now or risk being taken like mugs again.
Mount is a good player but its not like he's some transformative player.

Yeah exactly
And? Liverpool just signed a World Cup winner without CL football, and we are being rejected at 55m pound for Mount who can join in a year time for free. Ornstein blubbering crap imo.
His last season performance speaks that he is actually in better form and shape. And just like so many times with players form does play part.
Sure.
