Watch SB crowd says goodbye to him with applause instead of booing.

Why should they boo him though?

Yes, he might be sulking his way out of the club, but he at least won a major trophy.

It's not as if he acted like ex Arsenal players who win fuck all and then move to Man City.

good servant but for his wage demand what he shows in the pich plus our urgency and sell I think its better to sell him and get around 60M pounds

Unpopular opinion, bit I think we are fucking idiots for letting him go.

It's a difficult one. I think there are a lot more players in the squad who should be shown the door before he is considered, and I think in an all round fitter, more aggressive team which I hope Poch is going to bring, he could well be a great fit.

However, if everyone was fit, does he still get in our strongest XI? I think with Nkunku coming in, I'm not so sure.

Ultimately though this boils down to being unable to tie him down to a new contract. If the two options are selling him now for £60-70m or lose him for free in a year then it's a no brainer for the club to make that decision.

Not the clubs fault , he’s been offered a new deal suitable for his ability. Unfortunately he acts like he’s prime zidane who is worth 300k a week when in reality he’s a workhorse and a passion merchant. 
with that in mind we can’t let him go for free when we can take advantage of the hype he has from being english and get a good price, for a player who wouldn’t get many starts when everyone is fit.

Whatever the case, I have a feeling he will at least have a conversation with Pochettino to see what plans he has in mind for him before he finalizes a decision to leave.

This will likely drag on into July.

Mount was instrumental in our cl campaign of 2021, first under Lampard and then under Tuchel.
Subsequently he played in the euro for England and he was a disappointment.
From then on he was a disappointment (that makes two seasons).
It would be a lenient decision not to transfer list him let alone pay him ... Zidane wages.

If true we have laid £200k plus on his lap and he wants out then fucking see ya later.

If they don't want to be here, then simply go.

This just goes back to what Sir Alex said about his club all those years ago, no player is bigger than the club. 

From various reports Mount was given a long term deal (same as Reece) but the offer was declined....so there isn't much else the club can do. 

Its good that the club doesn't want to face another Christensen situation where the player walks away on a free transfer, rather get some transfer funds that we can reinvest into the midfield.

I was under the impression we needed sales done by end of June in order for it to comply or be submitted numbers wise for FFP, I definitely could be wrong and it may only apply to buying, just something I vaguely recall.

In any case we know that we need unhappy or discontent players out of an already toxic situation.
