It’s on the official website, no fee amount mentioned but definitely a transfer. €23m and worth every cent to get rid. Hurry up Zyiech and Mendy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeping Dave Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 12 hours ago, xceleryx said: Hard working Mount may be, but if he's mentally checked out that's no help to us either. If he was that entrenched on being a Chelsea player he'd be willing to make a certain degree of sacrifice that would allow for that to be the case rather than jump ship to a rival. As for being a starter if he stays, that's a different can of worms to be opening. In short, I don't think it's quite as sure of a thing as it was a couple seasons back - at least not on the form displayed over the last 18 months and with Nkunku likely to play the position Mount would hold. We don’t know what offer the club has given him. My take is that it’s nowhere near what he should expect. Koulibaly given £295k/week and he’s a fairly average PL defender. No wonder our academy products watch with dismay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Personally I think Elton sounds incredible. Forget the fact that he's 76. Smashing it. Size of that crowd too 😳 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers have been burned a bit more recently ... The funny thing is that we actually have moved the goalposts. It is the club who had aggressively briefed Mount had to sign a new deal or be sold this summer. I know some here are very keen to ignore these sorts of details and focus on rejected offers they don't know actually existed, but the club-lead stories about Mount being sold if he didn't do as asked are publicly available. Indeed, that was the whole point of them. We'll get a few million more out of Utd, after a poor result or two in August if not before. I see it like this as well. The club has given Mount an offer he doesn’t think is quite good enough. The club then proceeds to force him into a corner of sign or be sold. We are now at the crossroads of him being sold. I’m don’t think this has been the smartest move by the club, especially since the signal it sends is way stronger for someone like Mount than say just another mercenary from Serie A.

Blue Moon Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Nowt wrong with a nice bit of posh at Glasto. It’s changed a bit since I first passed through (1974), but at least the khazis are almost usable and you don’t have to climb over the fences. Haven’t been since 2012 - knees objected to all that mud - but it’s still a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish him well at his new club. Just glad he’s off the wage bill and that Colwill can hopefully take his place. Ridiculously overrated. He was a good defender in Serie A, given how poor that league has been for a decade now that’s hardly something to be proud of and certainly not something that will fly at 31 in the PL. Justvlike you say, Napoli won it the minute he left. It was painfully obvious very quickly that he had no business playing in this league. The Saudi move comes at a great time for him, he can go without the public ridicule. But make no mistake, if the Saudis weren’t going big for their domestic league he would have ended up exactly like that. Benched by Colwill at the start of the season. Personally I was surprised how average he was. Not very fast, not very good in the tackle. Rather prone to the occasional brain fart and his passing wasn’t much to compare to the hype. Not the best in the air either. I’m struggling to see what he was supposed to bring? Imagine we gave him a 5 year deal at 31 for 295k/week. That’s astonishing really. Won’t be missed, just pissed off he had the audacity to ask for JTs shirt. Hah! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bison Posted June 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2023 Very harsh on Koulibaly. I thought he grew into the season and was doing OK just before his injury. In a truly disastrous season one of my absolute favourite moments came when Koulibaly had a go at Kovacic after watching him press half-heartedly for 30 seconds whilst the opposition just ran circles around him. Koulibaly showed he cared in that moment when Kovacic and others had long packed it in. It's a shame it didn't work out for him but I'm glad for both our sake and his that we were able to move on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
