What happened to him? He used to be ever present at Chelsea
Mason Mount's Many Misfortunes
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
I don't think missing 41 games in 5 seasons is that bad.
Even Van de Beek stayed fit, he just wasn't picked
41 games in his career isn't bad. Hitting almost 75% of his total career missed games in a single season, is.
Newcastle had this issue back in the day with a season where they had like 10 long term injuries and they completely relayed their training pitches. Sir Jim needs to put his hand in his pocket.
Very sensible to sign a player who'd spent last season LARPing as a YouTuber and whose first thought before coming here was to change his PR agency and demand the number 7 shirt to do a shit Beckham cosplay.
They seemed to start piling up from January 2023 onward. He missed 13 games from January 2023 onward - which was around 50% of the remaining games Chelsea had from January 2023 till end of the season.
Some players are completely injury free and then at some point in their careers randomly become crocks. I fear Mount might be one of these players.

Completely fecking useless, horror, horror signing. Antony is shit but at least he’s fit. Ten Hag’s an idiot for wanting the player and Murtough is an idiot for signing him.
Is his mission to make Memphis7 look like a sensible signing?
Don't worry. Next season it will be like having a new signing.
To each his own mate
It’s not like he’ll be missed.
Late era Pogba vibes.
This has been the case with every player we've ever tried in Bruno's role since changing to 4-2-3-1 after signing him. He will often be frustrating messing up touches and passes that should be simple for him, but he is almost never inactive and invisible. Every other player who has tried filling in for him has barely been seen. They've been patient waiting for the ball from midfield and worked up from the back, they've made runs forward for passes that dont come. And they have touched the ball maybe 20 times because we're bad at working the ball to that player and few of our players have the nerve to ry a long ball to find them making a forward run against the backline. Often its Bruno himself playing it for someone else.
I'm not saying Mount is good although I do think hes better than he has shown so far. But I think our tactics are equally to blame and Bruno is just such a hard working player it doesnt show as badly because if he isnt getting the ball played to him he's going to come deep and start playing central midfield when we have the ball to get on the ball. It does mean that its impossible to play without him though unless we find another player with similar character to Bruno
At this point, I honestly forget we have Mount in the squad, so when he's mentioned as a possible sub I go 'oh yeah, we signed him'. Hope we get to see him play regularly but it's not as if he has had only one serious injury, he seems to pick up problems every other week.
Such an awful signing. He’s a bloody crock.
You could be right.
Is it just a coincidence that Dave Brailsford seem to be aiming at a move from Carrington altogether?
Said months ago we bought a dud. Chelsea couldnt wait to get rid because they knew he was done, whatever injury he picked up a few years ago has finished him.
absolutely hilarious at this point with mount. Thought maybe the club saw something with this signing that i didnt understand, but now clearly just a joke signing.
Really Stupid signing.. I can’t fathom how any recruitment team and a manager can decide to spunk so much money on an average Chelsea player who was already crocked.. it’s hands down our worst signing in the last ten years.. the least he could do was stay fit for when Bruno needs a rest, can’t even do that.
I’d get rid in the summer, sell him to someone like West Ham.. INEOS/Ashworth would never have sanctioned that signing

The old TV series is back. Can Dr Ross and Carter uncover the mystery of styrofoam footballers, and should they consult it with Alex Jones.
They might need to recruit the Grey's Anatomy lot too. Surely after 20 seasons they've seen something like this before.
He didn't have a history of injuries. In his four years at Chelsea, he played almost every game up until the pelvic injury he suffered in his last few months there. Other than Bruno and maybe Maguire, I doubt any of our players had a better fitness record.
He missed about a dozen games for Derby back in 18/19, then barely missed a game for the next four years. It was then just one pelvic injury he had to have surgery on that cost him the final few months of last season.
Yup, and I hope guys from M.A.S.H. are still around, before the toll becomes a regular battlefield.
Bloody hell. The same players keep falling like flies!
Can see Mainoo going down like Willem Dafoe in Platoon soon. Just randomly in a game.
first rule is, theyre not suppose to talk about it
all jokes aside. What a waste of money Mount has been. Cant believe they handed no7 too
He'd have been free this summer also, having played about 5 games for Chelsea this season. Even at that point we should have dodged him, let alone at £55m.
Another player rushed back. Is anybody surprised?
I fear Martinez going the same way sadly
Getting pretty worrying with Mount, as this must be the 9th or 10th separate injury here.
Literally can't stay fit for more than about 60mins of action.

It's over. The end game will probably look like something from Roland Emmerich movie, with Godzilla bulldozing Old Trafford with players inside, while Ian Holm making a toast.
He hasn’t been able to complete an hour of running since joining the club.
There has been cases of rushing players back in the past.But he isn’t being asked to put his body on the line and fly into tackles.
Just jog around a bit Mason!
If he can’t manage that, then he is making it very difficult to back him or include him in any of the clubs future plans.

Fecking hell just retire the #7 at this point
It's about as surprising as our loss to Crystal Palace
See why we can't offload players like Maguire(who is also slightly prone this season), Casemiro and a few of the squad players.
As far as I am concerned, it will be suicidal to think Martinez and Shaw will be available for most of next season.
We need to accept this reality and have an alternate plan in place
I was watching back the 2021 CL season today and I was sat there reminiscing about Mount.
Ignore the the contents of the tweet. I just wanted to share the comp. I miss him man
Got a bit choked watching that! I don't often see Chelsea but a good friend is a massive long-term Chelsea fan and he was saying we'd got a great player for the price and could be a player to build the team around.
Clearly that hasn't worked! Makes me wonder what is going on there everywhere in our recruitment process.
Old Trafford is turning into a black hole that swallows the careers of decent players and the amount of money spent, in the tens of millions, it's quasi-criminal.
We should stop employing people named mason.
9 or 10 ???
Or another player rushed back because Bruno was out … ETH has previous . Evans failed a fitness test Monday morning and still played .
