If that attacking option is going to be Mount, then there's going to be more production expected. That's only natural and would also apply to anyone else who was to take up that role. I think Felix was thought to be that option. It might even be one of the reasons that Mount has been annoyed. However, it really hasn’t worked out with Felix, and he’s not even getting picked by Lampard with Mount out injured. I’d be surprised if Felix gets signed and it wouldn’t surprise me if the club just give Mount what he wants instead. Especially if Pochettino insists he wants Mount to stay.

I know which player i'd rather have as an integral part of our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need him and what he stands for and seeing him in a Liverpool or Arsenal shirt for the next 10 years is going to be horrible. Not like Willian, Cech, Joe Cole, Jorginho or David Luiz, who were all great, but over 30 and on the decline when they moved. This would be the first player to go in his prime for a while. I completely agree with all of this and it would certainly be a sign of the changing times if he goes IMO. I would be very sad to see him leave.

Mark Kelly Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I think when it comes to Mount we just have to adult about it and wish him a double ACL on his debut well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original 21 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 This sounds interesting and hopefully would appeal to Mount… Mauricio Pochettino has big plans on how to use Mason Mount if he stays at Chelsea next season, according to reports… It is understood that the Argentine coach wants to use the 24-year-old in the same way he used Christian Eriksen at Tottenham, which was as a creative option coming in off the right hand side in a 4-2-3-1 formation. https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/club-news/mauricio-pochettino-wants-to-use-24-year-old-chelsea-player-in-a-christian-eriksen-role-next-season-journalist/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard on a podcast that it’s also about image rights as he’s used extensively by CFC as a poster-boy in advertising campaigns and expects to be rewarded for that. There’s also the question of reductions in player pay as a result of not qualifying for Europe. And the fact that Sterling is on a reported much higher salary. In the end, something’s got to give if we want to keep him at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 So it was Liverpool, then Arsenal and now Man United… and all including the caveat of ‘if’ Chelsea decide to sell/of Mount decides to leave’… it’s almost as if they have absolutely no idea but are planting enough stories to be able to claim they knew before anyone else.

From my monthly transfer gossip update (last published 1st May): Mount - Liverpool * 1st Feb, Daily Mail; 16th Feb, Daily Star; 16th Feb, Daily Mirror - Manchester United, 16th Feb, Daily Star; 16th Feb, Daily Mirror; 9th March, The Guardian - Manchester City, 16th Feb, Daily Star; 16th Feb, Daily Mirror - Newcastle United, 7th March, Daily Mail - Bayern Munich, 28th March, Daily Mail & elsewhere - Real Madrid, 16th April, Fichajes - Arsenal, 21st April, FourFourTwo In reality, no 'new' gossip, just rehashing old rumours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Every major sports news outlet / journo (Matt Law, Fabrizio, Ben Jacobs, Ornstein etc) has tweeted some sort of “update” on it today, so pretty sure there’s been some sort of briefing or leak. Either way, there is clearly a problem which needs resolving because losing Mason Mount would be an almighty f*ck up. Unforgivable in fact.

Personally I think the TB sports department should pay him the salary he demands and a 5 year contract, then send him to Southampton on loan next season. I’ll get my coat.

I mentioned before I would have liked Mount to play in a Luka Modric type role - a role that only a super talented player with a football brain could play. Eriksen is in the same mould - so yes I can see it making a big difference in Mount's decision. Edited May 24, 2023 by kev61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
