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

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

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

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

I think he would be right in-between. Depending on game situation might start ahead of Eriksen some games, other times Eriksen might be preferred. Perhaps similar to how 2 of de brune, gundogan, and Bernardo Silva start for city. Allows for rotation and midweek adjustments.

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.

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

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.

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