Very happy with this signing 
55 + 5 is very good business for a player like him.
55 + 5 is very good business for a player like him.Think he will prove to be a great signing, when we have Bruno and Mount up there in the stats as the best midfielders in the league
Yeah probably. We’ve just made it a whole lot easier though. Chelsea were prepared to offer £80m for him, if Brighton play hardball and want the extra £10-20m, guess where that will be readily available from? I’m more pissed off we weren’t in for him in the first place so I’m probably just a bit bitter they’ll be signing him instead. I trust ETH though so if he thinks Mounts the man for the job then I’m all for it.
The comments are so laughable here. We paid 55m for Bruno pre-covid. Arsenal paid 65 for Havertz. Spurs paid 40m for a player who has been relegated .
PL proven.
Home grown.

Chelsea previous player of the year.
Coming from a rival club.
Seriously, are you guys expecting a free transfer?

It said our final offer but willing to restructure if possible, we have it's still 55m with a apparently difficult 5m extra.
I dont really care if we get bent over when it comes to transfer fees this summer ( nothing new anyway ) but once the new owners come in we will finally see a better system when it comes to negotiating these types of things.
The club is currently run by complete amateurs and everyone knows it.
Things are about to change ( hopefully ! )

50+5 is lower than 55+5.
He'll be a star for us.
As expected. The middle ground between 55 and 65.Very happy with this signing
Glad to get it done, paying slightly over the odds, but to be expected. I hope he proves to be a big hit, I do have my doubts, but in Erik we trust.
Yeah. People need to stop being so worried about others do and just focus on how we build ourselves.
I thought we bid 55 the last time smart arse
An actual signing!
Now if we can get Onana wrapped up before the tour that would be grand. Ideally someone like Hojlund too, otherwise we'll just use Martial as a placeholder before he inevitably gets injured stepping off the plane.

Some fans just want to be negative of everything, that’s what the last 10 years has done to some
So because other clubs are interested in the same player means it's a good deal? Christ how about some autonomy. I hate that reasoning. And the Arsenal Havertz deal is hilarious, that's a terrible example. City meanwhile got Kovacic for pennies who is probably the best non-Enzo Chelsea midfielder anyways, pretty bad example there. My point isn't "oh Chelsea sucks why do we want a player from them", it's "why are we letting them leverage us when in reality we should hold the leverage?"
Terrible way of looking at transfers in general unless you are already a complete team adding a final piece, but especially when you're a rebuilding club working on a limited budget. That's fecking awful logic.
Neutral on this. I honestly don't see it with him as a player but a lot of people do, but I suppose you have to back the manager.
Mixed feelings about it. I think individually, Mount is a decent-ish player.
I just don’t see how he’s a good tactical fit with what we have in the midfield currently. Let’s hope it works out.

Time to poop.
I still don't see with Mount. I know Chelsea rate and I read things about him but this just doesn't excite me. Hope he proves me wrong
He’ll be a good signing for us.
Glad to get this done relatively early. Honestly wouldn't have picked him as a target but if ETH wants him then I'll back him.
Onto the next!
Onto the next!
Maddison at 40 million is the better deal no?
This is my biggest hope, alongside getting an actual recruitment department/ DOF that's sole strategy isn't "Oi Erik who do you fancy mate?"
Obviously the debt stuff is huge too to get rid of with new owners, but yeah our actual backroom structure is miles behind other clubs in competency.
Worry about the balance of our midfield bringing him in but let's see how it goes. My expectations aren't high, so hopefully should be pretty easy for Mount to prove me wrong.
Deserves a yay.
Its not. Our final offer was meant to be £55m total, we’ve caved and gave them an extra £5m. In hindsight though we were never gonna miss out on the managers first choice target over £5m.
If you’re complaining about the fee then you’re a halfwit. Genuinely.
Maddison, who is two years older and now a Championship player, has just gone for forty million. Havertz, who is comfortably worse than Mount, ten million more.
The fee is about right.

We desperately need depth and better quality in midfield.
Slight hope of keeping him over. Good luck to him for his new adventure. Manutd fans will see why chelsea fans rate him much.
He moved out of his comfort zone and want to take on the challenge as manutd player. Now nobody will say he is teacher s pet or get preferential treatment because local boy.
Clearly ETH rates him so why united board took the extra step.See him as important piece to his evolving team strategy.

Bonuses are apparently hard to achieve.
I’ll take it.

Ffs, our initial valuation was already too high to begin with.
He is a decent player, but not worth the asking price, especially considering his contract situation. It's double what City paid for Kovacic.
Let's just hope he delivers.

he's a younger version of Eriksen....so he's not a bad fit for what EtH wants to do tactically
if we went 55+5m that tells me there must have been some compromise on the payment structure
Buzzing with that
Apparently we've managed to sneak another Ballon d'Or clause in, how thick are Chelsea?
I'm with you, it's because I don't know what he does, for England at least, he wants to be in the deeper positions and look to hit a striker, but if kane is stood next to him it's difficult. But hopefully, mount can get in those positions, see rashford/Bruno/Antony making runs and creat chances
Different kind of player. Maddison would be backup to Bruno. Mount is more of an Eriksen replacement.
Don't think he's all that and definitely think we could have got someone better at that price (or slightly more), but I will support him while he's here and hope he proves me wrong. Won't moan about the price now as there's no point.
Ornstein was doing stones job when he was at the BBC.
He's probably slightly looser with confirming facts now he's at the Athletic, but still very reliable.
Stone is reliable but obviously just confirms when things are done.
