OVERRATED? 😬 Simon Jordan reacts to Chelsea's Mason Mount agreeing personal terms with Man United 🔥

let's talk about Chelsea and their

hierarchy have they got concerns over

um other teams in their area of the

table trying to pick off their players

cover chich possibly going to Manchester

City apparently today Mason Mount it's

been reported as a group personal terms

with Manchester United why on Earth

would Chelsea be happy and willing to

sell one of their better players to

someone that they'll be competing for a

Champions League place with

well they probably don't include Mason

mount in that particular

characterization well that would be

ridiculous wouldn't it bury him money is

twice their player of the year and last

year

because you were player here previously

doesn't carry on in perpetuity does it

well it was it's carrying an injury this

year which is the reason and that's fine

and clearly they've got a view on things

and to answer your question you might

disagree with that view but if their

view is it isn't one of those best

players then your view is academic isn't

it because if they don't think that he's

one of their better players we can all

bark at them and say he is if they don't

it'll explain the reasons why they're

less concerned about him going to other

football clubs would you trust their

judgment

um if I was availed of all the facts

that they may be and if I was availed

and abreast of all the circumstances in

which they're making these decisions

then maybe I would be if I was sat there

looking at Mason Mount thinking I think

he's a decent player

um but I don't think he's spectacular if

they think they've got something better

in the locker and ultimately Mason Mount

is asking for 250 000 pounds a week and

I don't want to pay it and this is my

last opportunity to resolve the

situation to command any sort of fee

I'll take all of those factors in I'd

look at it and go do I worry about my

competition I believe I am the

competition so I don't tend to worry

about the competition so I don't really

care within reason what other people do

I will all I will be able to control in

the end is there's a passage of time and

inevitability about it if I can't get a

deal done with him he's gone in a year's

time so he'll be better he'll be

benefiting or two years he'll be

benefiting my opposition at some point

the only thing I have at this moment in

time is some control and if I don't

worry about those sort of things on have

the necessity away but I've got two

years left on my contract because I

thought it was one I would do neither

and the player will be staying at

Chelsea doing as he's told uh Liverpool

Arsenal Manchester United all interested

successive Chelsea managers have picked

him in the team and the England manager

thinks he's great and always includes

him would that give you an indication

that maybe the majority of people at the

top end of the game are thinking that

he's probably worth a part of well so if

you want to make this about so here we

go if you want to make this about Todd

bowling we want to characterize it

there's somebody else making the

decisions here comes from Bishop

pochettino they've pleaded beg cajoled

and persuaded pochettino to come in so

if you live in the world of Narnia where

you think pochettino turns around to

boli and says but I really want to keep

Mason Mount and bolu says no you can't

then you're away with yourself what guy

of Southgate does isn't he relevance as

far as I'm concerned because he doesn't

win anything what Chelsea's job is to do

is to win something maybe Gareth

Southgate wins you know principles

waistcoat of the Year award but he

doesn't win tournaments for the English

football team when we have opportunities

to do so so we're the people that have

those well I don't care what other

people do you brought them into the

conversation so I'm talking about the

analysis around what you suggest needs

to be done with Mason mounts now going

on to the equation of Mason Mount and

where he goes and what he doesn't do

well look I'm not suggesting if your

characterizing nation is it's bully then

you are discounting the value of

pochettino I'm not I'm not I'm not one

sense saying it's anything to do with it

wants him well that's not true because

as I understand it as soon as they're

appointed him as manager the first thing

he did was say let's try and get a deal

done for him but by that time I think

Chelsea caused too many problems and

disrespected him and he decided nothing

is unresolvable don't live inside don't

live in some City well he's got so many

options why is it why does we have to

take it because Chelsea

he's got two options in this instance

what to do is he's told and wants to do

what Chelsea allowance do which amount

to the same thing because he's got two

years left on his contract so with due

respect to the player and due respect to

the football club if Chelsea want to

retain him then that's what they will do

now if they want to retain him in a

happy frame of mind and a balanced frame

of mind then ultimately they'll find a

solution that makes him comfortable with

the finances that he thinks he's

entitled to alongside what Chelsea think

is worth

and with that in mind that will be the

likely outcome now with pochettino again

if you think that that nothing is

nothing is un uh reversible I tell you

what clears people's minds and

concentrates the reality and makes

everybody feel better about themselves

money it it changes the direction of

people's thinking if they suddenly went

back to Mason Mountain you know what

you're absolutely right we're going to

give you 250 Grand we're going to give

you a one-off bonus and back date it

because we've been piddling about first

that's the issue they haven't got the

money out there because they're

concerned about the ffp because of the

amount of money listen the wages are

what the wages are what you're then

equating it to is a transfer obligation

upon them to try and meet the financial

fair play situation they've created for

themselves don't forget they've they've

they've bedded some of that down by

long-term contracts which have reduced

the depreciation side of things so they

haven't got the same impact of

depreciation that other clubs will have

when they've got players being bought

for 50 60 million four-year contracts so

they factored some of that in but they

also haven't got the money that would

usually come from the Champions League

no and and ultimately they will have to

make certain decisions whether it's

to be able to bridge some of the gaps on

the depreciation criteria that they've

got I I think that they want mace amount

in the same way if they wanted you could

you could make the same argument about

Antonio rudiger when Tuka was in control

of the situation he didn't seem to be

too bothered about keeping Antonio

rudiger did he and people were

suggesting he was the best one year left

on his contract with it with an auction

but uh well that was my thoughts

ultimately if you're in a situation

where you think you've got a salable

asset and you're Chelsea at this moment

in your time you spent so much money

yeah is this a sort of just an

identifying of this is the guy that we

can get the most money for and it's pure

profit because he came through our

Academy well there could be an element

of that but I would think that they're

going to get if they get into the

Champions League next year by having a

fully geared team which I think they

will a Mason amount is a component part

of that they will get as much from their

success as they might get from the

capitalization of the transfer fee that

they get from Mason Mount

um when they sell him because ultimately

they're still going to buy places this

summer pochettino's not walking into a

football squad that he thinks is the fix

for everything that he needs he's going

to want to send it Forward isn't he we

already understand it instead of all

lined up that's going to cost him money

I think the Mason Mount conversation is

twofold it is a one-year contract so

they've been brought to a situation

where there's no real timelines for them

to be able to deal with it in a way that

they might want to this option is in

favor of the player or is it in favor of

the club it must be a favor the club I

suspect yeah it usually is so Chelsea

are in control of Their Own Destiny and

who and who doesn't think they are is

uninformed media

um in Concord you mentioned who is

coming in for Chelsea so there is going

to be at least one more signing and as

far as we understand it they are looking

around to strengthen that school in

certain areas as they would be anyway

kovacic could be leaving but you he

could be going to Manchester City and as

you as a former owner you must have

thought about this when you're selling

players or would you think about this

when you're selling players if they're

selling it to a direct rival someone's

competing the same area as the table as

you if you were going for a promotion

that's safe from the championship and

yeah you were up against someone I don't

know they say Sheffield United would you

sell one of your best players to that

club very much depends upon doing it

depends upon how again you're

characterizing Mason Mount is one of

their best players if they don't

characterize him that way that then

defeats their argument if you look at

the argument that some people say what

in God's name would Man City help

Arsenal with the sinchenko because Mount

make Manchester United better if your

answer to that question is yes then

you're strengthening them whether you

regard him it depends how he plays for

Man United and what system they play and

how he settles in and and and ultimately

how it reacts there's a whole raft of if

and or butts I think it probably would

strengthen Manchester United yes but

given you're in a situation where you've

only got a certain amount of

jurisdiction because time is not against

is against you what would you prefer to

do sell the player commercially to a

lesser football club that will pay

lesser money

or sell it to a bigger football club

that will pay more money but ultimately

might put you in a slight position of

Jeopardy which would you back I don't

know in that equation but I would also

look at myself and go what's my

strengths weakness opportunities and

threats all of them are reduced transfer

fees obligations up to the player the

consequences of my decision-making

process or my I back myself I really

don't care what the opposition do I

wonder what the Chelsea fans think about

it oh three seven one seven double two

double three double four do you mind

selling Mason now do you mind selling

Mason Mount Mateo coverage to Rivals at

the top of the table does it bother you

competition started 27 of Chelsea's 50

matches this season in the mistake games

due to injury or illness during that

time but he has been a key player in

some of the big games what do you think

about it oh three seven one seven double

two double three double four
