This is bigger than some people want it to be. Mount was an idol for a whole new generation of Chelsea fans. It was Lampard, then Hazard, and then Mount. Him leaving to United is a betrayal and it hurts.
 

But all in all, I think that it’s best for everyone. Let’s move on, and start building a better team, with players that are comitted to the cause.

Official announcement on Mount. Interesting, but it didn't mention Manchester United at all.. 

 

"

Mason Mount has today ended his 18-year association with Chelsea after completing a permanent move away from the club.

 

The England international started training with the Blues at the age of six and signed as an Under-9. Mount went on to win the FA Youth Cup and the UEFA Youth League before embarking on successful loan spells at Vitesse Arnhem and Derby County.

It was ahead of the 2019/20 campaign that Mount was incorporated into the first-team squad at Stamford Bridge. He became a mainstay of Frank Lampard’s side and made more than 50 appearances in his debut season; a feat no other academy graduate had previously achieved.

 

Mount went from strength to strength. There were 21 goal contributions the following season and in an FA Cup tie against Luton Town, the academy graduate became the youngest player to captain the side since John Terry.

His 2020/21 campaign ended strongly under Thomas Tuchel. Mount struck in the Champions League quarter-final against Porto, in the semi-final against Real Madrid, and in the final it was his pass that freed Kai Havertz to score Chelsea’s winner.

 

Mount was named 2021 Player of the Season by supporters. It was an award he retained 12 months later having helped the Blues claim the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup, while there were also a further 29 goal contributions during the 2021/22 season.

He made only 35 appearances last term as an injury restricted the midfielder to just three substitute outings after February but he leaves Stamford Bridge having played 195 times and scoring 33 goals for the Blues.

If there was any doubt selling Mase and Kai was a good decision it can now be put to bed. Paul merson the best counter indicator known to men thinks we handed our rivals top4. So we might actually even mount a title challenge now

This is exactly the problem with our fanbase picked a nothing player like Mount to breath the same air as Lampard and Hazard is beyond laughable.

Who else was there to be picked since 2019? Havertz? Werner? Like it or not, Mount was the face of our club during this time.

Doesn't change the fact he was an extremely average player, instead of picking someone like James who is elite in his position picked this farmer who is almost 25 and still consistently makes easy passes look hard.

Like I said in the transfer thread days ago, I don’t really feel anything about Mase leaving. He was such a complete non-factor last season that it already felt like he wasn’t here. If he were coming off of a fantastic season I’d be livid but he’s not. 

I felt more emotion seeing Havertz and Kova go.
