Mason Mount

I really like Mount, if he wasnt our player, he wouldve ended up at A**x last year, after that season holland, and after the run they had in the champions league last year his value wouldve been astronomical. 

Im confident he will make it to the very top of the game, he seems to have all the technical attributes, but also he is an intelligent player, with a fantastic work ethic.

Great news, excited to see a few of these bots that have been here since they were kids, go on to be big players for us.

 
Been our best player this pre-season, absolute baller, even more talented than Hudson-Odoi IMO.

He also looks great wearing the number 19

Willian will still be on set pieces, I’d bet my house on that.

Please don’t, another season watching corner after corner be easily headed clear by the first man would be unbearable. Hopefully he won’t be on the park much when CHO & Pulisic are fit.

As much as Willian is not the best corner taker ever seen, corners have always been 95% about who's in the box as opposed to who's taking them, Willian was also a corner taker back in 13-16 when we were getting a lot of joy because JT, Ivan and Cahill were in there causing havoc.

That's why I was an advocate of the short corners that became a regular feature in our play under Conte, because with our current lack of height and gusto in the team we could have Beckham and De Bruyne taking our corners and most still won't go anywhere when put into the box.

 
13 would have been mata up until he left in 2014 I thought? The ball doesn’t make it in to the box for us to find out because Willian very rarely - if ever these days, beats the first man. If the majority of his crosses went in to the box and we didn’t score that’s fair enough but they’re usually cleared by the man at the front post. Maybe Willian has regressed at corner taking over the years but I find it extremely hard to believe that he is the best in the entire squad.

 
Found this interesting.

The year before Alli went to Spurs he scored 16 goals in 44 games playing in League One, Mason last year scored 11 in 44 playing a division higher. 

If Mount can have a similar impact to Alli's first season at sh*te Hart Lane (10 goals, 9 assists in the league and a further 2 assist's in Europe) that will come in very handy.

If Mount doesn’t turn in to a complete bellend like Alli that’d be good enough for me. 

 
Honestly boggles my mind How little some of our fans rate Mount, some people on Reddit claiming that he Will never surpass Barkley and some absurd claims like that.

I'll be honest, i rate this Guy above any of our other youth prospects, the amount of talent and technique that this kid has is unmatched by the others IMO, not even by CHO

 
It’s up to to him to keep improving and working hard, so he doesn’t disappear like others with talent and promise have in recent years.

With Guardiola singing the praises of Foden maybe we are entering an era where technical ability and vision is seen as a higher requisite than brawn. O lot of modern day footballers would never have even got the chance 30 years ago. The game is evolving and maybe Mount is one of the new breed. I see a lot of similarities in his game and Fodens so if Guardiola rates Foden so highly why cant Mount achieve the same

I think players like Mount and Foden with filled out potential would fit in any era of football. I think the key difference is the coaching these guys received compared to previous generations.

England as a nation were well and truly stuck in the dinosaur era until the overhaul with the training ground amoung other things which neatly coincided with these guys being young enough to benefit. Now the country is catching up, the dinosaur managers are of little interest not just in the PL but The Championship aswell (even Stoke are sacking manager's due to style of play) and eventually L1 then L2 then after that part time footy will follow suit. The overhaul at grass roots level is slowly starting to bare fruit.

If those two were 15 years older my question wouldn't be would they be good enough it would be can we trust the coaches? Mount especially would probably have had his expressive creative side coached out of him (due to his willingness to do the dirty work) if the likes of Pulis, Pearce or Big Sam ever got hold of him.

I would argue that Mount has achieved more than Foden so far, a lot of people seem to forget that Mount was on the team of the Season on the Eredivisie on his FIRST year of professional football, and that in a league that had players like De Ligt and De Jong, both of whom were two of the most sought after players this window.

Mount is a special special talent, and he os being criminally underrated by our fan base, and o truly think that he Will stabilish himself as one of the best players in the league over the Season

 
I like what I’ve seen if mount so far. My small knock is that he tends to fade out as the game goes on. In this particular chelsea season his goal scoring record is a big plus.

That’s a bit far fetched for this season.  Maybe in a few years.

 
Saw some highlights of the Reading game and he reminded me a bit of a "young Frank".

Arriving late and finishing well.

Apart from Franks outstanding finishing skills his ability to arrive near the box at the right time was not luck. He timed those runs and if he can educate Mason to do the same we may have a Doppelganger on our hands.

I think that's a good thing. It doesn't do these young players any good at all being lauded as the 'next big thing!' and having both tons of pressure put on them, and their egos stroked too early. Let's keep the hype down, and leave them wanting to work hard to prove a point.

 
Would love to see him crack into the first team properly this season. Honestly, I already have him ahead of Barkley, Bakayoko and Stinkwater.

Jorg/Kante/RLC with Kovacic and Mount in rotation (and getting regular games) would be the best option for me. By the end of the season, he could even potentially become a starter given RLC's injury problems and Kovacic not always playing his best.

Are you 8 years old? These 'wordplay' slurs towards our own players are neither funny nor clever. I keep seeing them and they irritate me to no end
