Why not wait a year and sign him on a free.
He’s a decent player but he’s no better than Fred. He’s been sat on Chelsea’s bench for a reason. Two English mangers in Lampard and Potter haven’t fancied him. I can see why ETH would.
Really hoping this is just BS from his agent trying to get a new contract at Chelsea because he adds nothing to our team other than an extra body.
He’s not been playing due to 1) injury and 2) his contract stance. Irrespective he started 20 league games which doesn’t suggest he was considered a bench warmer.
Mount is like numerous youngsters in that he is a decent player but his development for one reason or another has stalled he needs a move for his own sake and the reason that there is talk at this point of time is his contract yes from a club perspective he needs to go in this window but he can’t take the risk that he will loose a year training with the reserves which would be the threat from club if he turned down a move
Probably a transfer will kick start matters but he is on his way out and it’s just a matter of which club
His contract demands have been excessive and it is widely rumoured that the new owners aren’t going to offer the wages that RA was happy to indeed the other day it was suggested in a news paper report the wage bill will as a % of turnover will reduce significantly over the next few years so other than the odd exception the days of stupid money just to retain players is over.
Oh and his ceiling is far higher than Fred who i believe including substitute appears has featured in all but 3 of your league games
