Would it not have been easier for Todd and his goons to have purchased Brighton instead??

He plays for Brentford.

I think he would be better than Kepa and would be a good buy. Either Kepa or Mendy are leaving this summer.

Yeah with Kepa we are getting closer and closer to the point where we can finally bin him off. Probably not next summer still but maybe in 2024 when he'll have just one year remaining on his contract and £10M amortisation value left.

With Potter preferring Kepa over Mendy I wouldn't be surprised if Mendy left in the summer though. His book value will have only £10M left and his salary is just £55K/wk so surely there's some club willing to pay a decent enough fee for him and also afford his wages. He may not be that well suited to a team that requires the keeper to play from the back with his feet but he'd definitely be a great pick for some top half team in one of the big leagues whose play style suits him.

At 27 as well which works well. Can give us a few good years until Slonina is ready.

Mount is also predominantly a central midfielder while Havertz is a forward/winger/no10 or whatever the hell he even is so why should their goal contribution numbers even be up for comparison? If anything, the numbers you posted just confirm Mount is a much better player of the two because they have basically the same end product but Mount is also much better at pressing etc. while Havertz does virtually fuck all when he doesn't get the goal contributions. 

It's also been debunked by lots of sources (ie. Matt Law) that he's demanding a £300K/wk salary for his extension. Will probably still be more than £200K if James' salary is anything to go by but still way less than the reports in the media?

Mount also cost the club £0 while Havertz cost £70M. Havertz on £150K/wk and £14M a year in amortisation is way more expensive for the club than Mount would be even if he did get the £300K/wk.

Again you guys are worshipping Mount when it's pretty obvious he isn't much better than Havertz overall.

Havertz 2021 rating PL 7.24 CL 7.42

Mount 2021 rating PL 7.69 CL 7.12

 

Havertz 2022 rating PL 7.23 CL 7.16

Mount 2022 rating PL  6.69 CL  7.24

They are very close in rating everything included tackles, passes completed, etc.

As for Matt Law debunking that number you think 260k is any better? Same shit, again why should Mount receive star wages when he is a squad player? Anything above 150k and 200k with performances is an absolute rip off, it looks like Mason wants to take the club to the cleaners with his demands either way otherwise would've been settled long ago by now.

I've been dreading this possibility. And this won't be Mourinho or Conte when they normally go into meltdown

Trading him for Sterling proved to be a big L.

It will. Tuchel has fallen out with every board he's been at. Imagine penny pinching Levy.

I did read his post, Havertz does fuck all while Mount pulls tree but the ratings shows they have similar impact during the last 2 seasons.

No wonder he won player of the year 2 times in a row if guys like you voted for him.

[Pizy 18,852]

I’m still fine giving Kai one more season. 🤷‍♂️ 

With Nkunku coming in as an alternative and us hopefully dramatically upgrading the wide attacking positions I don’t see the downside in keeping Havertz.

I don't vote mate, and so you just chose to ignore the 70m part of the post lol

I do if Felix absolutely crushes it this second half of the season.
