There will be takers but they won't match the wages we pay him so we'll have to compensate him for the money he's losing, otherwise he could just refuse to leaveI get selling him, best for both parties but surely there will be takers. We’re already likely to lose millions on his value, we’re gonna chuck another 10m down the drain too?!

By all accounts he's desperate to play and wants to remain in the England side. We can play the brinksmanship game too - strip him of all first team privileges and tell him to find a new club and take a pay cut, or rot with the U-23s.
You can find shite that any journo has written. He's no better worse than your likes of Jackson/Keegan etc
With FDJ we agreed a fee with Barcelona first

Yep, they are all useless at this time of year.
Mason Mount it is.
Do that and his value drops even more, if we can sell him now for £30-40m it's worth paying part of his wages to get rid of him
We’re not Barca!When you put it like that it makes more sense but that’s a bit different to ‘pay him to leave’.
Which was very much the exception to how it usually goes

great we’re doing business early for once
imagine if we became a well run club, we’d have nothing to moan about

Its good but dont know what problems Mount solves in our team
he'll replace Eriksen in midfield, especially in the tougher games where we look exposed
Mount isn't great defensively either. We need Rabiot for that
he's good defensively and works hard
So most games then?
yeah he’ll be first choice for sure
Fred and Van De Beek out. Mount in. Two wages and squad players replaced by one player.
Based on the few games I have watched I would suggest that he would be interesting for ETH to fill in the role VdB was supposed to. Since VdB got injured, ETH wanted Sabitzer who is filling a similar offensive role. To me Mason Mount is better than both. If we can offload VdB, then we would have Mason Mount in instead of VdB and Sabitzer (from a wage perspective, hopefully the Wage of Mason isn't higher than the two combined)
You reckon he'll be injured a lot too?
Crazy if it's anything above 50m.
There we go he's not even getting a chance
Think we will go for him too as free agent,like I said in another thread I suspect we will have to wait for that CM who can pick it up from deep and control things
More like crazy if it’s anything above 45m.. saying he’s worth circa 50m is like saying he’s worth half of Kane’s value (100m).. Kane is 5 times the player Mount is, not 2.
With a year left on his contract, 40m should be the most we are willing to pay, maybe 45 if the payment terms are lengthy and performance incentivized
I feel like Wheeler's only a decent source because of Harry Maguire. The moment Maguire leaves, Wheeler won't have a mole in the team to gather juicy info from.

Maybe we will be getting Rabiot as well. He is on a free isn't he?

He was never our player. He'd be signing on a free transfer from Palace.
But of course, that wouldn't get as many likes etc, would it?
I think we will yeah with McFred leaving
That was my exact response as well!
What in the actual feck am i missing if the club is willing to even get close to those numbers!
I was hoping for a more low key transfer at around 25-30m which is still a bit much for a squad addition like this
I wish we were in for Kovacic instead. I imagine City will sign him for 30m and we'll get Mount for something like 50m+
Can kovacic bomb up and down in an 8 like Mount theoretically would? Also isn't he suffering from more injuries? Haven't really followed the reasons hes missed games this season to be fair.
I'm sure I read somewhere that starting with a midfield three of Casemiro, Eriksen and Bruno we had a 100% success rate. ETH knows what he is doing, but we just need to make sure there is adequate cover when any of them are injured / suspended.
He isn't as mobile and I think the reason we want Mount is his pressing qualities, Kovacic would be cheap alternative to what FDJ would bring if EtH still wants to go down that avenue.
We'd still need someone in that Mount role most likely, just not sure if he is worth buying for the money touted. These new FFP rules force teams to be more efficient with their spending and getting Mount for £50m with one year left on his contract wouldnt be smart business to me. I'd love to be proven wrong, so I hope this works out.
I can't believe we're spending over £50m on Mason Mount.
