Mason Mount

[Fernando 6,585]

I don't think we should sell Gallagher. 

He still have a bright future for me. With Potter many players have looked bad this season. Remember how Rudgier was very bad until Tuchel came in?

We should give Gallagher more time with us.

In favor of whom exactly? 

If we improve in CM this summer (which we will) Gallagher will genuinly have no place here. He won't have a place in the attack nor the midfield.

If Mason signed a new contract this summer then 5 years should be fine from the club perspective also. 

He'd be 6 months shy of his 30th birthday by that point. If he's performing at a high level at that stage and deserves a new contract then fair enough. Otherwise he's moved on close to that point or allowed to leave having spent what should be his best years here.

I understand the 7 - 8 year contracts not just for amortisation on the new signings, but for a number of players in their early 20's to keep them here throughout the bulk, if not all of their 20's. Mount is a couple years older than some of these though, and 5 years more than protects an investment in his value. Certainly a lot more than having just a year left on his deal.

If that is the sticking point with a new deal (the club want longer than 5 years), I'd be disappointed with the club's stance and stubbornness here.

Why would we sell Chalobah? He's a great squad option? Just signed a new deal too. 

We aren't shifting RLC on 120kpw. 

Completely forgot about Ampadu so good funds there. 

 

Mount isn't refusing the role nor the salary, he's refusing the length of the contract. He wants 5 years max and we are offering 7-8. 

 

If we stick to a back four permanently and (as we should) promote Colwill there's little room for him unless he goes on loan until Silva retires.

I don't believe this for a second. 

First of all it's hard to imagine such a small detail can be deal breaker. 

He is not resigning because it was reported by tier one journalists that he wants money close to highest earners or 3 times more than current. Also he is not sure about role because there is no place for him in starting 11. I mean in current 4231 he cannot play in pivot, Felix, Nkunku, Havertz all ahead for number 10 role. And Mudryk and Sterling for LW. Not even first option from the bench. Remember Lampard quote about fire in his eyes when not picked? Plus became very toxic between him and Chelsea fans, saw the other day he is blocking people on Twitter. In Liverpool he could play perfect role for him in 433 where there is no expectation in the final 3rd, just to press and let front 3 do the work. 

 

So this is only reasons from Mount pov. Now there is Chelsea pov and the list is even longer because for sure nobody is happy with him. And also we heard what academy players mean for FFP.

I think the decision is already been made but news that it will be resolved in the summer is just to put all this noise about him to bad. I think he is leaving and won't start many games till the end of the season. 

About Chalobah yeah if he wants to be 5th choice squad option he can stay. 

LCB Badiashile and Colwill for a next decade 

RCB Fofana and Silva who will be replaced in the summer 2024.

Yep this is being heavily implicated as the main issue and has been for a while, the Athletic have been on about it a few times.

I don’t think wages will be a big issue at all once the length of deal is in the ball park of what he’s looking for.

He doesn’t strike me as someone who wants to be the highest paid player but just wants a fair wage that reflects his position at the club. In fact the only thing I’ve seen re wages is he wants a higher base salary meaning less incentives/add ons so more money upfront but it didn’t specify a sum specifically.

I doubt he’s asking for 250-300k straight up like many hinting at but as I said in a previous post people will use this situation as a stick to beat him.

I think if the offer was say around 175k base plus whatever add ons/incentives on a 4 or 5 year deal it would of been signed by now.

The whole world has forgotten the word uninterested because they think disinterested means the same thing and makes them sound cleverer. Well originally disinterested did not mean uninterested. These days however, after being so widely misused, for so long, it has to be accepted that it does mean uninterested. Indeed, dictionaries now give both its original meaning and the uninterested definition when you look up the word disinterested.

Still hurts my head though when people say disinterested, when what they really mean is uninterested. I wonder how many of those people know what disinterested really means?

Fucking hell mate even Greavsie wouldn't have said that he wouldn't have been interested.

@OhForAGreavsie Disinterested means “without a vested interest.”

Uninterested means “not showing interest.”

Can I claim a free pint lad?
