Rick Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 If we get Alexis Mac Allister, then there’s no point bringing in Mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah doesn't make sense. At least not for that value. You'll be getting the far better player too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if TAA inverted becomes a permanent thing. You'll have MacAllister and Mount playing between the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 One of those players you just can't get excited about. Is a big enough upgrade on what we have already? I'm not sure he is at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I would love to know what Chelsea are offering him on the wage front because it does not seem enough for him if these contract talks have still not been resolved?? It would be bizarre for him to leave us and not get at least the amount he wants at another club but if the rumours are true he is looking for parity with the likes of Sterling who is getting roughly £350K a week I couldn't see anybody else agreeing those terms with him?? What's he on about £80-90K a week currently? certainly worth doubling that for him and maybe throwing in some extra to bring him around the £200K mark. When you consider that Reece James is on around £250K a week you can see why he is pushing for a lot more than he is currently on but I suppose it depends on how much more he wants?? I hope he is not being unrealistic about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to United, but if that is his preference I can't help but feel its money motivated. Liverpool is tailored for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUFC Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 If this is the caliber of player we're going for. I guess it'll be 4th at best again next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on the verge of qualifying for the Champions league, we've just broken our trophy drought and were a side slowly going in the right direction. And guess what else....... Drum roll We are Manchester United. Players want to play for Manchester United because we are the biggest club in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcanuck Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 An upgrade on what we have, but we need to be in for better players than Mount. Plus 55 million is way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Mount is a great player. Strangely underrated, people would have gone mad for him a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus 55 million is way too much. Agreed. It's very expensive, but I guess Chelsea have an element of power here given how much Mount's stock has risen under them. £55m is big. But I guess it also depends on just how much money Man Utd have to spend. In relative terms, £55m is small-fry if they're planning on spending upwards of £150-200m.

OrangeKhrush Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 not sure I like this move as a neutral, I'm obviously as a rival fan liking the idea of a rival spunking big money on a player that doesn't move the needle. I am struggling to objectively look at this and make sense of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Surely got to mean the end of Fred or Mctominey. I've been critical of Mount over the last few years so he'd going to have to win me over. I just think he's not a huge improvement on what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I'm a little surprised because I reckon Pochettino would have developed him in to a real tidy player. Maybe he's just had enough of the Boehly circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeKhrush Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 It is an interesting move, sort of like jumping from the pan into the fire. I was thinking he would take a lower move just to rebuild himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's just had enough of the Boehly circus. I'd respect that if he wasn't poor himself the past 18 months. Again, he is eerily going down a similar route as Oscar in terms of stagnation. Really curious to see how ten Hag utilises him. His best football came as an inside forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea have a long history of letting players go too early, Rice, Abraham, de Bruyne, Lukaku, Salah. It’s so embarrassing if they had any sort of patience they could easily field a starting XI just from recent academy graduates in the last five years. They had a bit of a golden generation just not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
