That’s an understatement.
It’s like 2% are happy with the signing.
Then a small minority aren’t necessarily disappointed.
The other 90% range from stop ETH immediately from anything else than coaching and keep him as far away from making transfer lists as possible to I don’t see it with Mount but I trust ETH.
Finally a break through. Time to move onto other targets.
At least Southgate will stop using him now
Now we need a gk, a dm and above all a top goalscorer
Not an obvious improvement for a serious sum. Good luck to him, hopefully ten Han knows what he's doing with this one!
He is a good player and I hope he becomes a great servant to this club.
However I can not understand the club briefing earlier how we are not gonna pay the United tax than we proceed to do so. At least act like the big dog pay up and shut up.

The reports I saw were Chelsea wanting £65m - £70m.
DM is dependent on McTominay leaving. If not, McTominay - Eriksen is the backup midfield pairing, which is fine TBF.
Not enthused tbh.
Hopefully buying this guy doesn’t equal us not going for Caicedo who is a superior player and seems logically better suited to Utd.
If we’ve basically just given Chelsea 55m to put towards Caicedo then it’s an awful transfer and essentially massively strengthened a rival.

Largely content we’ve got the deal over the line. I think 55m was a fair deal for him so that we’ve paid just a little bit over isn’t a bad deal for the club, especially when we were quoted £70-80m before which we’d have been mad to pay.
the "final" offer was already nuts for a player with one year on his deal, but caving and adding 5 more million really takes the cake. What a clownshow.
Our fans don't understand that he fills so many gaps with his age, technicality, pressing and versatility.
Eriksen is still here, but Mount can start most games. We now have a midfield that can contend with most teams. We still have time for a Casemiro back up, but I think this signing was essential for us to play ETH's 433 and to cover gaps when we have injuries
We still will sign a striker and maybe a goalkeeper. I don't think we NEED a CB or RB in this particular takeover window. So we can be patient whilst getting AWB, Dalot, Malacia, Amad, Antony, Mainoo, Sancho and Pellestri to improve

Because the adjustment to 60m total is with add ons that are unlikely, so it's essentially the same thing
I mean I think it's quite clear that's exactly what ETH wants to do, I just have serious reservations about whether it's even going to fecking work. Modern football requires you to either have extreme ball retention characteristics in the midfield (City) or a bunch of physical monsters with non top engines that will just win the ball constantly to give it to the creative players (Liverpool). We sure as feck won't have the former with a Bruno/Mount/Case midfield, which means ETH wants a more direct team. But in that case we are seriously lacking the wide players especially on the right side to hurt teams (Antony/Dalot is about as uncreative of a flank as it gets). It feels like we are caught in the middle.
But I've said enough, it either works or it doesn't and I sure as feck hope I'm wrong and Bruno+ Mount gives us an extra 20 goals next year while turning us into a pressing machine. Time will tell.
One down 2 to go.
Apparently we're not even in the race for Caicedo.
Great signing. Happy with this
60 million for Mason Mount on an expiring contract? Utter madness no wonder everyone rips us off
£5million in extremely difficult add-ons, of which, if they are achieved then the transfer fee will probably have been worth it in the end anyway.
You bedwetters are an absolute chore.
Don't get your hopes up. I'd be amazed if that scenario isn't exactly what happens.
£60m. Confirms what I posted earlier and was mocked for it. So now it's my time to remind everyone how clever I am.
Shite, wrong quote.

Good deal, people will always moan
fixed. Would be nice to add a proper veteran DM for cover or buy a young DM that could develop, I'm fine keeping Scott as squad depth if got to play as a proper box to box midfielder.
Not a massive fan of mount but hope he's a success here. I hope that he proves a fair few of us wrong.
Probably about what he’d have been worth if he still had a few years left on his contract. But it’s not an Antony level of overpay, so the fee shouldn’t be an albatross round his neck.
I was always in the “What actually is the point of Mason Mount” camp when he played for Chelsea and England. So I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised and ready to eat a bucket load of humble pie.
It’s a good feeling to be getting one over the line.

You're point is that people are moaning just like they did in the Carrick transfer, which besides both deals involving English midfielders, have basically nothing in common
Que everyone in Jan complaining because we are loaning in weghorst or can't sign anyone cause we are broke.
It’s going to be surreal him being in a United shirt. Always saw him as mr chelsea.
I'm honestly surprised with the amount of people not seeing him as an obvious improvement to what we've got. Martinez and him are the two ten Hag signings I feel like I immediately see how will work.
The reactions on here 
plus it might make some people shut up about being unable to do business early.
Very intrigued by this signing, I trust Ten Hag's vision so I'm curious to see how Mount will fit in! I'm sure he'll look much better in red than in blue

the final offer was 50 + 5, now it's 55 + 5 - so nothing to do with the add-ons. Tell me again why tacking on 5 more million after saying "this is our final offer!" makes sense.
if I'm called a bedwetter for a bad deal (or at the very least, a bad negotiation), then so be it.
tidy little player and ETH wants him, so I'm happy enough with that
Good signing I feel. Think he fits ten hags profile of a no 8 very well. Technically good,busy, good presser, gets goals and assists. Good age aswell, PL experience coming from a big club like Chelsea aswell means there shouldn't be any big surprises for him, should settle quickly.
Hopefully those clauses are winning the CL or EPL
Caicedo/Enzo is such a dominant young core of mids as well
Our next season's success depends a lot on Mason Mount working in midfield.
Fine with this as long as he’s not our only midfield signing this summer.
