Mason Mount

[mitchmouse]

Does anyone believe the story in The Sun? Have to say, I can't see him leaving Chelsea for anyone (I suppose if Lampard was at a bigger job and doing well, it would just be possible). And I have to admit, I'm not his greatest fan...

 

[Superden]

strikes me as the player we bought VDB to be, but clearly Mount is better at the moment. would be a great addition to the squad, but it seems very very unlikely.

 

[MUFC OK]

Mount is a great player but cant see him leaving Chelsea.

I'd be keeping an eye on Maddison's contract too (expires 2024), he's gone up a level this year though could just be a burst in form ahead of the world cup. His set pieces are an asset too and has performed despite Leicester's struggles.

 

[Judas]

He’s a brave English lion, what’s there not to like. I for one have always loved him and always always been certain on what he actually does.

 

[MikeUpNorth]

Really good player. But can’t see why he’d leave Chelsea right now.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

I really couldn’t give a shit tbh.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Its one of those stupid left-field rumours you hear every summer.
Nothing in it.

 

[Plant0x84]

Any link to the story for those of us who don’t read that particular rag?

 

[Bondi77]

Unbelievable!

 

[Mainoldo]

Close thread. Non of this Harry Maguire rubbish round here.

 

[OverratedOpinion]

If we sign an attacking midfielder or someone who plays off the left then I will lose my mind.

I think he's really gone on the radar this season -- he went from overrated back down to underrated. I do think he's a little inflexible as to where he plays though - he seems like an out and out no.10

 

[UNITED ACADEMY]

Mount is Chelsea fan, Chelsea has no reason to sell him like Barcelona on De Jong, and Mount has no reason to pick playing under Ten Hag over other managers. This is 100% bullshit.

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

Nothing story for a nothing player. Next.

 

[Freak]

Di Maria vibes. Do not want until he shows us he loves this club.

Its laughable. First, Chelsea would never sell a key home grown asset. Second, they must think Ten hag an idiot, to expect him to seek attacking midfielders that our squad has enough of rather than a natural 6 or natural holding midfielder.

 

[Chairman Steve]

This is a red herring and a smoke screen at best.

 

[kps88]

Is he due a new contract?

 

[WeePat]

Is he due a new contract?

Yes.

 

[Bastian]

I'd take Gallagher over him any day. You Chelsea people here, will Gallagher be properly involved for you next season? He'd be a cracking signing for us.

Makes 100% sense. Who is going to miss out? Mount?

Unlikely. Unless something drastic happens with him, Mount is probably one of the players whose position in the team is the most secure. I think Gallagher will be in direct competition with Kante and Kovacic, both of whom are kinda injury prone.

I thought if you'd get a proper #9 in you might be playing Havertz just off him so Mount would be shunted out wide right or slugging it out for a midfield spot against what I think looks like a more complete player in Gallagher. I can see why the Kante rumours started off then.

I hope for the lad's sake he'll play in your first XI as he really looks too good (toyed with us in that last game of the season) to be just a squad player.

I saw it on Sky and other places rather than reading The Sun (just for the record)

He's actually not. He's a Portsmouth fan, talked about it many interviews and goes nuts when he scores against Southampton!

 

[Coops73]

Where does this madness come from now? Never going to happen.

 

[TwoSheds]

We lack quality in CM and RW so at the moment he could probably get a game as first choice quite easily. One would hope that in a year or two that won't be the case though and he'd be back to being a squad player, so I can't see him being particularly keen on the move really.

wow didn't know that since I was expecting him to be Chelsea fan as he grew up with Rice when they were kids.

 

[duffer]

He's been at Chelsea since he was 7 or 8 so he's obviously gonna have a connection but he's always said that he's a Portsmouth fan first and foremost.

I remember him being asked who his favourite player was as a kid and the interviewer was expecting "Lampard" or ""Drogba" but his answer was Andres Delessandro (I've botched that spelling but can't be bothered to check).

 

[thegregster]

Don't want. Id fear he would become the classic england number 10/AM after a good start to his career.

Just like Lingard,the Ox,Barkley,Dele Alli etc.

 

[Abraxas]

I really like him as a player. Technically good, contributes good numbers, works hard. Complete non-starter though

 

[youmeletsfly]

Whatever happens I really hope we stay away from English trash players for quite a while, Mount and Maddison included.

What a player he was. That was a wild time for Pompey.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Overrated.

 

[horsechoker]

Our next Mata

 

[charlenefan]

Definitely do not want

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Stay well clear!

 

[Ranchero]

Another pointless distraction. No way Chelsea will part with him to go to us

 

[Red00012]

Our next Lingard
