Based Winstanley.

Thank you Paul. There was a report Boehly created twitter account just to see what fans are saying and it looked like he was always trying to make them happy. Thankfully guy with knowledge took charge.

He reminds me of Hazard but is still inconsistent, he qualified with France U21 in the QFs, wouldn't mind him here at all. Think at some point he will get it together and breakthrough. Think he was also in trials at Chelsea when he was 12 years old but not sure.

Can we get a CM that has some bite/aggression in midfield? Even with Caicedo and Santos its looking weak.

 That hurts more

Cold and ballsy from Paul. All those vids of mount overhitting passes take focus off how many counter attacks he squandered by not passing at all or playing it safe. Thank fuck he at least did it right that one time… 

first time in ages English tax works noticeably in our favour. 

 

I laughed at the bolded part. Although the fee is nice, I can't help but feel it could have been more. Especially as Declan Rice went for £100m+ and they are the same exact age (literally 4 days apart), English national team regulars and well established in the Premier League. And Mount is offensive player too which should be a factor. Both had 1 year left on their deals though I read that Rice had 1 year option to extend. Is that 40m pounds difference ?

mata was incredible in 2012/2013 and has never been able to have a season like that again.

Too bad he didn't stay with us longer.

He mentioned somewhere he loved it at Chelsea, think he never really recovered after he left. Picking the Brazilian Mount over him was absurd.

After he moved to United but I can't find the interview anymore, had only good things to say about us and how the fans made him settle almost instantly after he arrived. He never really reproduced the magic at United we saw here.

Szoboszlai’s reasonable release clause expires tomorrow so it’s unlikely to be him, sadly. He’s be the best Mount replacement we could make.

 

I think I am safe to say I have seen Szoboszlai more on the pitch than other members of this forum.. As much as I would love to have a Hungarian player for Chelsea, I don’t really see him succeed in the Premier League. 
 

He is really amazing from set-piece, scoring and assisting a lot from free kicks and corners, but during the game I feel he is slow, both feet and head. Very similar attributes to Kulusevski. He also thrived in the beginning for Spurs and has been ok since that, but Spurs-fans often annoyed because of slow feet and head.

[TheHulk 2,650]

Didn't know where to post this, hope they get fucked.

Where are the experts here that told us he isn't a money grabbing fraud? You we're right man @Costa19

Ashley Cole might be a Chelsea man, but when he came in this season as part of Lampards team, I'm sure he would have told Mount to take the money and run. Nearly every player on the planet looks out for themselves. No guarantees of a long career.

[Pizy 19,288]

Another midfielder who would be a great Mount/Kova replacement is Kudus. Excellent ball carrier and has that relentless energy that could do extremely well in the PL. If City snatch Veiga before we can he would be my choice since Barella doesn’t seem to be realistic.

I'd rather get Mamardashvili and play Jackson up top, the strikers market is dead.

Potentially David Raya?  He is 27 which is very young for a keeper and his contract runs out for next season an I think as the transfer window goes on, Brentford will be reluctantly willing to sell him for a cheaper fee. Maybe around £25m I reckon. PL proven and has been brilliant in both seasons. Brilliant technically and great reflexes. Not the biggest keeper, but he is actually very commanding in the box and don't often recall moments where his height has let him down.

no

short and too often shaky in the air

he is only 1.83m and doesnt have long arms

I don't know, he did put some pressure on the club to sell him and talks with Spurs collapsed anyway. They wanted 40m.

 

Not sure i saw some quotes from him but probably same case as Meslier. Won't come if not guaranteed number one. 

insane that we may allow KEPA to block us from getting a potential WC monster (1.97m) keeper (Mamar) for only £21.5m

[Duppy Conqueror 1,584]

Really is a shame we arent in europe this year,even in the shitty tournament Wet Spam haven't stopped gulling over their tin pot trophy.could really blood our youth in those. Think a few are gonna be blooded in anyway and i'm fine with that..we've let alot of veterans go but not much actual leadership in them.
