Chelsea keep asking for €80m fee, this is why deal was not progressing this week but it’s not over.

Chelsea need to sell to be able to buy any players right? They’ll probably soften their stance soon

You would think so. 70 million for mount seems like a steep price for sure.

This is Todd Boehly we're talking about, get your facts and logic out of here

As a Gooner, I wouldn't mind them giving Auba a longer contract, he deserves it

I actually hope they fail to sell and their funds are tied up so they stop going after our targets(also a Gooner)

Would he be a starter at United or rather a back-up?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Might play as an 8 or a bit deeper with Casemiro. Wouldn't play every game.

I think he would start. He must be good enough to displace Fred

What about Eriksen and Sabitzer? Considering Bruno and Casemiro are probably locked in - only one spot left.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not actually a United fan so I don't know what Sabitzer's loan situation is. But I do watch a lot of them and Eriksen is definitely on his last legs. I think he becomes a bench player next season.

My take on their center midfield targets is that Mount is a good player and would be good for them but he still doesn't solve their problem of progressive carries and tight possession. They need a De Jong type player and Mount definitely isn't that. But the midfield is very weak so he's an upgrade on what they have at least

Do y'all think that this solves Man U's midfield problems? I'm not sure I'm convinced that Mount is worth the money tbh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Depends on the final fee. Around 40mil £ would be a worth it IMO.
