#7 also means he's sold as our marquee signing for this summer, I'd understand more if he got 10 and Rashy the 7, weird choice.
Wasn't even remotely my point, and if we're going down the "who do we want more" route the answer is simple, Caicedo.He’s better for us than Rice. Between Rice and Casmeiro we’d struggle to get out of our half.
Wasn’t 18 year old Ronaldo given the 7? Certainly didn’t earn it#7 shirt….! Don’t care if you think it’s only a number but the number 7 has to be earned surely….?
£100m if his contract wasn't expiring in a year? Christ on a bike. English tax is mad. There's no way in hell this lad is worth anything close to what Rice is.
From The Athletic
He is set to be paid more than £200,000 per week, potentially rising to at least £250,000 per week with bonuses — in the same ballpark as the deal Chelsea had originally offered, as well as a rival proposal put forward by Liverpool.
Basically last season's first XI with Mount in for Eriksen.Not sure about how he fits United side now but I fully trust he's the one for the future.
If we do lend weight to the idea the no. 7 is a legendary shirt and it means more etc. then surely it is better that a steadier and more reliable player wears it after the run the number has had?
Rice’s potential is grossly overstated. Anyway clubs set all sorts of asking prices. A year and a half ago we would have wanted 100m for Rashford and people would have laughed.Wasn't even remotely my point, and if we're going down the "who do we want more" route the answer is simple, Caicedo.
Rice is a better player with more potential than Mount so I don't see how they can be valued the same. The idea that Mount is a £100m player if his contract wasn't in its final year is nuts.
Yeah, more than likely. With fees as they are, it's pretty much impossible to snap up players from big clubs now unless they're in their final year, or just leave on a free (like Kane will probably have to do)Tbf it just says that would be the asking price, not what he would actually go for. If he wasn't on the last year of the contract then in real terms he would probably just be regarded as unavailable, because it would take more to prize him from Chelsea than anyone would be willing to pay.
My point that Mount is likely that player to stabilise the rocky road that the no. 7 has been on, if we do care about the squad numbers.The people running our football team are all jokers.
I get Ten Hag might not care, but surely someone should have stepped in.
Nothing is sacred in the eyes of a football fan. Mount a Chelsea boy through and through and he still gets stick.That video of him with blonde hair reading off a prepared statement written by his PR team is a disgrace . Saying nothing would have been better.
He’s a footballer. Why do you expect him to be an incredible orator? I think Chelsea fans are looking for any narrative thread to make him out to be an enemy.That video of him with blonde hair reading off a prepared statement written by his PR team is a disgrace .

How DaRe he not shed tEaRs?!Nothing is sacred in the eyes of a football fan. Mount a Chelsea boy through and through and he still gets stick.
Pr?! feck me.
He's a really good player, I've probably seen him and Mount play the same amount of times and Rice has regularly looked excellent and Mount has always looked very meh. Neither are remotely worth their fee but that's just what transfer prices have gone to these days especially with English internationals. I don't get it with Mount, sadly. He's never looked good, I've never seen him do anything that justifies the hype, just a meh player. I really hope I'm wrong. I reckon I am, given us and other clubs were chasing him, and Chelsea fans adore him and are pissed he's leaving, so yeah, hopefully he's actually as good as they all say!Rice’s potential is grossly overstated. Anyway clubs set all sorts of asking prices. A year and a half ago we would have wanted 100m for Rashford and people would have laughed.
And more recently Alexis SanchezLads, Michael Owen wore the 7 Who cares
Not yet
Seems you're getting quite emotional about this mate. I think that statement is pretty funny.He’s a footballer. Why do you expect him to be an incredible orator? I think Chelsea fans are looking for any narrative thread to make him out to be an enemy.
To be fair I don't think you have to be a world class orator to make a genuine message to the supporters. Just speak from the heart. Nobody cares if you say a sub optimal word or stutter a little, in fact it would look more genuine than that robotic effort.He’s a footballer. Why do you expect him to be an incredible orator? I think Chelsea fans are looking for any narrative thread to make him out to be an enemy.
You need to chill, BoiiThis is all too much for me. I need to lie down. I've cancelled all my plans for the week, including anniversary dinner with the missus. I'm writing a letter to the prime minister asking if we could ban the number 7 now.
Did Michael Owen and Sanchez earn it?#7 shirt….! Don’t care if you think it’s only a number but the number 7 has to be earned surely….?
He’s better for us than Rice. Between Rice and Casmeiro we’d struggle to get out of our half.
How many players genuinely look good for England?
Are you implying he's Oleboii? Surely not. :shocked-pikachu:You need to chill, Boii
15 would have been perfectWhat were then options? 4, 13, 15? 7 makes sense.
What the feck is up with all you nerds crying over the number of the shirt? Fecking hell
