By the way, I know the world has been dying to get my thoughts on this real world crisis.
I am firmly in the sell Mount camp. He's an overrated footballer that's gotten by statpadding shocking performances with goals and assists, but at his core essence he is not a good enough. Technically deficient between the lines, very low creative ability from open play, no real positional discipline to play as an 8 as he constantly vacates the midfield to run up the pitch and goal hang.
Anywhere in the 50-70 Ms range would go a long way to balancing the books and amortization.
It's a ridiculous assertion to even put his name alongside Salah or De Bruyne who had less than 800 minutes combined on Chelsea teams fighting for the league. They were unknown commodities sold by Mourinho who had already determined his soldiers. We have a 10,000 minute sample size of mediocrity with Mason Mount.
Replace him with Caqueret (my dream midfielder to pair with Enzo), Lavia or Mac Allister for a fraction of the cost and we're laughing.
See this is everything that is wrong with modern football.
Mount came through Chelsea youth academy and helped Chelsea winning the CL in 20/21 with an assist in the final against City.
Every Chelsea fan should be a supporter of Mount even if he may not be playing well enough right now.
The guy should be a club legend yet „Chelsea fans“ are advocating to ship him out for the next new signing.
