You don’t pay £80m for a rotation player ffs. How many players have Bayern EVER paid £80m for? And he’s shown he’s not good enough at Chelsea, why the feck would paying that much for him be a good deal?
Our new Lingard 
Turning our noses up at haaland, then going all in for mason mount would be the most Glazer thing ever
I thought he will be great in midfield three but he did below average in those positions. But our team structurally was bad even before we tried him in midfield. For us he didn't play well in no. 8 or two man midfield.
I don’t think he’s a bad player but we don’t need him and the price quoted is insane. Supposedly we are restricted by FFP and cash flow so it would be crazy to bring in him when we probably need £100m set aside for a CF.
Anything above £35m for a player with a year left is insane. United will have their pants down if it happens.

Jesus wept he's crap.
If he wasn't English none would rate him. Love this new trend of us getting fleeced every year by buying an overrated English player. Maguire, AWB, Sancho now Mount.

This was my thought as well.Our new Lingard
For one of the biggest clubs in the world, we apparently have a world class scouting and transfer network, and the best we can do is Mason fecking Mount.
One thing I do like is that on the Chelsea forum nearly all posters don't want him leaving to a rival and clearly rate him very highly which is always something I look for when we're signing players. For example when we signed Maguire the Leicester forum were overjoyed and all rated Evans as the better cb anyway. Obviously that didn't turn out very well. I'm hoping he can be better than I personally think he is (which is still a good player, but not great).
Please tell me its all bullshit
Except he hasn't played since february for them. Jokes on usClearly this is our attempt to unsettle a player before he plays against us, tale as old as time.
If Brexit Jim takes over you know we’ll end up with Pickford, Maddison, Mount, Rice and Kane for a combined £350 million transfer window.
For ~£40m it would be a good signing, especially if the club can get ~£30m for McTominay. If Liverpool did something similar we'd be fuming. Man Utd hold the power too if he has told other suitors and Chelsea that is the move he wants.
He'll be well restedExcept he hasn't played since february for them. Jokes on you
I rate him better than the likes of McT and Fred. Thats how bad our midfield is right now, behind Eriksen and Case.
We desperately need a revamp in depth and someone who can actually spell Bruno.
But obviously not at fecking 80m or some stupid figure.
If we sign all the players you mentioned it would be a bloody good window..
This will get done for 20-30 mill. Chelsea need to sell few players so be 1 of a few that needs to go this summer.
That would be terrible business considering McTominay is more versatile and is frankly just a better player in every sense. Mount plus 20M for McTominay might be worth considering.
You should be banned from posting.
I'm not being obtuse. You're using the option of Bruno on the RW as the solution to "where does Mount play". If that option won't be used often (it shouldn't unless we are in dire need based on injuries), then your original point is moot and we are stuck back trying to answer the same question: Why spend 60m on a player that, even at his best, doesn't have a clear fit in our first choice XI?
Reading this gave me eye AIDS.
I didn’t realise they actually wanted money. Wtf?
Some thing wrong between management and player ever since tuchel was sacked. This season our entire team went bad. So no point in refering this season as player s bench mark.
He is two times poty for us. Chelsea fans rated him always highly.
Anything above 30m would be a joke. Very average player.
Well considering we are offering 55m apparently and Chelsea want more, yeah it's a crap signing. Not even mentioning he's not even a good midfielder and is at his best as a hybrid/forward type.
I hope we're not spending 60m on him!!!
Hopefully something between 35-40m and we can rotate him along with all our other players. I feel that in todays premier league, if you can't match city's depth you're not coming anywhere close to the prem title.
Mount may not be a "sexy" signing, but his work rate and pressing/running will go a long way to improve us over the course of a long season. Seems to also fit the type of player ETH likes. We just need to get rid of the likes of Fred and probably even McT as soon as possible.
Pogba is miles ahead of Mason Mount if both are fit ffs
Please no, wtf
We haven't offered anything according to Ornstein, we're yet to discuss anything with Chelsea but know Mount himself has indicated that Man Utd is his preferred destination.
What the feck is this.
A squad player for any serious team. Only redeeming quality is his tactical intelligence. You don't spend 80m on a squad player. If you want him bad wait till he has 6 months left and get him on a pre contract.
Sure I'd take him for 35m, but reports are that we are offering 55 and Chelsea want more than that.
So yeah 35m for Mount with some selling of other players is good business. 60m makes me want to throw up and wish we stripped ETH of all of the apparent power he has over transfers, because his talent evaluation sucks if he's this gung ho for Mount
Out of interest, where is this 80 million figure coming from?
In a thread full of bad takes, this is the very baddest.
Exactly. I can handle people saying he's gone off the boil. And yes, perhaps there are better midfielders we could aspire to. But to call him shit is just insane.
Thanks , it would be interesting to see how Ten hag utilises him in case he do end up at United .
Yeah his signings have been terrible.
pretty much. May they Sheikh win
Horrible news
