It's one thing to buy players at a premium in January when you don't face as much competition but let's see how our new leadership will behave in a summer window around acquisitions. Side note: your contact can do one. Edited June 29, 2023 by DannyLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Nkunku from last year's negotiations now confirmed. I suspect Nicolas Jackson will be confirmed soon (possibly waiting for the calendar to roll into July - a new accounting year for FFP - before doing so) We're the only club seriously interested in Caicedo and the player himself prefers Chelsea over anyone else. We also seem to be in pole position for Gabri Veiga. Just a new GK needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 So Mount’s gone. Hope the Sporting Directors are on top of all this. A lot of experience has been shown the door. Rumour is we’re going to replace him with Veiga who is 21 and valued at 34m. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-fc-veiga-mount-man-utd-transfer-news-b1090992.html?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1688028851 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd25 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Just glad that the saga is over and done with, now we can move on from Mason Mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lump Of Celery Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Moving to United is a strange move for Mount. If we can get Maddison and Caiceido in for the fees received for Mason and Kai then we would arguably be in better shape in terms of players fitting formations. I know some aren't keen in Maddison but his numbers speak for themselves, and would probably accept some rotation. I know we have Nkunku but a PL experienced option available at a reasonable price would be great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago97 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Good luck to Mount. Personally, setting aside him coming through the youth set up. I can’t say I feel too disappointed in losing him. I would have liked him to stay, but I don’t think he is anywhere near as influential as made out. I’m more than happy to put my name against this post, but give it 7-8 months and I think the majority of Chelsea and Utd fans would rather have Nkunku, given a choice between the two.

ShedMiddle Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Not feeling good with all this! The disconnection between the players and the fans could be felt more than ever this season and it now becomes clear as to who the troublemakers were. We should be going back for João Felix with Mount and Havertz gone. He is better than both and wanted to stay! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality footballer, but came here and played like Roy of the rovers with little return. We have more pressing issues to resolve than spunking millions on Felix imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
