He was at my kids' football club and spent about an hour signing autographs and posing for pictures - he seemed like a decent guy tbh.

 

Already sounder than the entire Arsenal squad based on this.

Liverpool?

Mac Alister is better suited to Liverpool as he can play deeper too, Mac Alister will have way less wages and Brighton are willing to sell him for a decent price given his solid years of service.

I'm not a huge fan of him tbh. Think he gets a huge bye from our fans because of the Bruce saga and the vibe I get from him is as soon as we go on a bad run he'll be the first one going after Howe.

 

Works for the Daily Mail, ergo he's a cunt.

I know quite a few people who know Mount and apparently he's absolutely sound. Don't see this "cocky little shit" thing at all.

 

EDIT: I've overplayed that. I know two people who know Mount

 

 

 

Always thought he seemed very normal and boring for a footballer. Can’t even choose a trendy haircut.

I get the feeling he's a one/two season wonder. Not sure why.

I love shit like this when it's not us involved. I hope they struggle like mad tbh.

 

I really think Chelsea are on the verge of falling back to what they used to be. Next season is absolutely critical for them. A couple years out of the CL could do a number on their financial status and the perception of them as one of England and Europe's elites. It's entirely possible the Abramovich Era section on their Wikipedia page stands out decades from now as the golden years of the club. Hopefully 2023-2043 only merits a couple paragraphs, the same as 1983-2003.

I hope you're right because I despise them and always have, but unfortunately I think they'll come back next year. No European competition so they will have a lot less games, there'll be more new signings, the squad gelling some more and a proper coaching setup with a real plan, so it's hard to see them outside the top 4-6 with that squad plus whatever they add to it i.e. an actual striker who can hit 20+ goals. I'd love them to become a mid table irrelevance again, just hard to see it.

We need more rotation of success in the league. Everyone seems to be losing their shit about Chelsea in the media. It's good for the sport. 

[The College Dropout]

I grew up with Chelsea being pretty decent under Bates and the fella that died in the helicopter incident. 
 

Awful fan base.

No question my comment could look idiotic in a year. With the right manager and a couple changes it wouldn't be that shocking to see them near the top of the table. But I do think they are in a precarious position.

I think they will bounce back, as will Liverpool. We need more of that sweet sweet Bruno-quality.

[Guest]

I would like this a lot. I think I deserve it

[LV]

I haven’t heard of him. Which bodes well, because I hadn’t heard of Bruno and now he is my favourite player, with Isak in close second.

Left footed Centre back who also can play at left back - Replacement for BDB??

I'm not that high on him personally, dont know if its because big Sven was so ideal last year my sights are set to high but when Ive watched Ugarte for them he hasn't massively impressed me. Not that keen on Schuurs from Torino either

As long as Todd Boehly is calling the shots, they have a real chance at remaining mid table for years to come. He just keeps making mistakes and digging the hole deeper. The dressing room incident is just the latest.  

[jackflap]

Think Mount will go to Liverpool but for 40-50m, there'll be no bidding war, Mount will have his preferred destination and the two clubs will agree a fee acceptable to both. Similar to how they got Thiago. No doubt Liverpool have done a good bit of work behind the scenes.

[Kimbo]

I think Mount wants money, and he’ll find that no one will offer him more than Chelsea.
