😂😂 They already started hard. 

First one can disturb atmosphere in the club. This second one saying he rejected similar offer as James is pure bullshit. I reject to believe we would offer him 250k per week and even more that he would reject that. Both scenarios sound surreal. Clearly news is fabricated if some other team appear they can get more money with 'we rejected 250k from Chelsea'. 

Guy is clearly thinking more about off field stuff. Tiktok, modeling, his media persona... I think in his head he genuinely thinks he is Beckham or something. Been shit all season and instead of focusing how to improve he is thinking about hiring PR agency to improve his media image. Just wow. Anyway would be surprised if he starts any game till the end of the season especially after just finally won 2 games in a row without him stepping on the pitch.

Well, it really doesn't take much to be a Beckham level footballer, but the image, looks, and media persona... not that easy. 🙂

Cant say his absence was visible yesterday. Ok, maybe he could do better job than Pulisic in last minutes, but that's all.

United are looking at alternatives and could rival Liverpool for Mount. The 24-year-old’s talks with Chelsea over a new deal have hit a brick wall and the club could look to sell him. Mount could be available for about £50m.

Chelsea’s owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, are keen to avoid the uncertainty caused by letting players enter the final year of their contracts. They were not impressed with the previous regime allowing talks with Antonio Rüdiger and Andreas Christensen to drag on. Rüdiger and Christensen left on free transfers last summer, leaving Chelsea with major gaps in defence.

50M pounds? 

I take him to Manchester. 

[TheHulk 2,408]

Sell him.

He showed so much promise and everything went downhill so quickly. How does that happen?

Did CL win just suck the motivation out of him?

Don't worry about Mason. He has new sponsor Pepsi.

While I accept Mount has been horrible this season and is pushing himself out the door, I just don't understand the hatred from our fanbase towards the kid.

I mean, he's been a huge part of our only meaningful trophy win in the past 5 years, and has had decent stats for an AMF even if it's against shit teams.

Now people praise Felix (who has been here only 3 months) and Gallagher as if they are supreme world beaters., when those two have had less than remarkable seasons in the past years. I'm including Gallagher in the comparison because he's only a year younger than Mount. 

The fickle minded nature of fans these days is just bothersome.

Thank goodness social media wasn't as rampant back then. Players like Drogba would have received a lot of hate during the period of 2007-2009, when Mourinho had left. He probably wouldn't have stuck around to become the legend he has been for us.

Agree. He should not be treated like that. Up and down are normal for everyone. 

Also, we don't know which stories are correct. A lot of rumors.

I completely agree on the social media/hate side of things, I think it’s stemmed or got out of control because the contract rejections have come at a time where he’s literally been dreadful. Would anyone care if he’d wanted X per week if he was performing as James was? No. We only know what we read and what’s reported to us by ‘ITK’ which doesn’t feel great to fans when ‘Mr Chelsea’ rejects £180/200k a week because he wants to feel valued, his dad etc but JT had a similar contract stand off years ago, just without the social media sphere reporting XYZ.

So, his contract has only one year left? that's a mistake by the club... he should not have been avail and getting minutes in this situation. Clubs used to play hardball before, now players and agents do what they want.

In 6mo he can sign a contract with anyone going on a free later.

It's hard to play hardball with a player who was meant to be future of Chelsea's midfield. 

It's not like the club hasn't offered good deals to Mount, he just hasn't accepted any of them and now he's likely off to Liverpool where he'll just be another player instead of being the academy kid in Chelsea's first team.
