Chelsea_Matt Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 1 hour ago, xceleryx said: His agent prior was his dad, no? Then he switched to Neil Fewings of the Roof Agency back in early to mid March, which I believe have connections in the northern areas. I think Mount's been set on leaving for quite some time now and it's less about him being poisoned. Never liked the whole way this has been dealt, particularly with the back and forward between his own PR team and the clubs. Would've loved for him to remain for his entire career, but quite frankly he's soured everything achieved here and I hope the home support let that be known whenever he steps foot back inside Stamford Bridge. One of the hardest decisions in life is choosing which (Stamford) bridge to cross and which to burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. He's become a cash cow, but he is a willing partner in all this. He's just a brand now, and a dirty little Pompey cash slut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulisic is rubbish and is only at the club due to an unmoveable contract. Serious post. On form and when not hampered by injury or confidence in his recovery, he's been a game changer. Too few and far between I admit but I hold out lingering hope that in the right system with the right coaching and free from injury, he's a decent squad player at least. I'd give him until January or the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMox81 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Mount’s mind has been poisoned? Come on now. If he truly wanted to stay then he’d have signed whatever deal Chelsea offered him. Utd have clearly offered him more and he’s taken the bag. Nothing wrong in that. But if he had anything about him, after his miserable efforts last season (injury aside) he’d want to make amends and leave on a high if that’s what he still ultimately wanted. But no, he clearly wants to fuck off and the club should therefore cash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 My view on the Mount situation at this point is that we should cash in and move on. This isn’t a Lampard or Terry level player we’re talking about here. If he doesn’t want to be here, let’s take the money and move on and bring someone in that actually wants to be here and play for the club. I don’t expect he’ll get a very warm welcome from the Chelsea fans when he returns with one of our rivals and maybe that doesn’t bother him, but nonetheless, it just feels like a bit of a shame for him to end it like this. I don’t think it’s all down to Mount, I’m sure the club have made some poor decisions in negotiations and I have no doubt he’s being advised (in my opinion, poorly), but ultimately, if he really loved the club then he’d find a way to make this work. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumours are that he was offered a year's extension to give both parties time to sort out a long term deal and mitigate the risk of the club's losing a good fee for him (like Caicedo for Brighton). If true then his refusal of that opportunity tarnishes his legacy more than anything else. A supreme irony would be if he left and we hijacked Arsenal's signing of his best mate Rice.

Holymoly Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Credit where credit's due. This is becoming the most effective clearing out of deadwood I've ever seen at a football club. On top of that we're getting good prices even though the doom mongers were predicting we'd need to give players away because the market knew we'd have to sell. Obviously some people will have issues with certain players leaving but at the end of the day none of them covered themselves with glory latterly and some have thrown away any goodwill they may have accrued by their actions. With another half dozen being prepared for a second round of culling it's beginning to look likely that the squad will be in a healthy position come preseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kelly Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Rumours abound that AC Milan are considering a £40m bid for .....Lukaku !

Same could be said for 6 of the big 7 who will more than likely be fighting for the remaining three CL spots next season. If you assume Chitty are a given qualify.

If you assume Chitty are a given qualify. It's going to be as difficult as it ever has been to get a CL spot now, seriously. Perhaps the PL will have to break out the old Arsene Wenger trophies for 2nd, 3rd and 4th places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thevelourfog Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 The good news is 5th is likely to get CL next year. Also, it's 10.15am and we haven't sold anyone yet today. Get a move on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Format of the competition has been rejigged (next year is the last in its current form) and it's had implications for qualification that means leagues with high coefficients will have more qualifiers. Can't remember the specifics beyond that. The cynical answer, though, is "because of the Super League".
