totally agree with the above ^^^^
caught between a rock & a hard place as far as Mount is concerned.
he was consistently 7 or 8 out of 10 for the last couple of seasons.
tailed off last year & everyone said "ah he's played too much football & needs a break"
a fair comment at the time..
however, since then he's been heading downhill like a runaway train.
will he come back? who knows. - hopefully.
but to demand a contract to match any other (much higher performing week in week out) player at the club, to me is ridiculous.
it would be hard to say "wind your neck in" but that's why Chelsea employ top business people to negotiate such deals.
personally I'd not think he warrants any more than any other experienced squad members.
but then we've done just that with the suicide bomber & kdb & were proved embarrassingly wrong both times.. 🤷♂️
