I think he could be, because Kante is limited in the final 3rd. But I like to be an optimist with our academy players, I think Mount is one of the best attacking midfielders in the PL and would rather him than Saka or Foden. I know that makes.me an outlier among Chelsea fans. 

Maguire plays well for England in a back 3. If we can pick him up for a season loan, or get him for ~30m he could be what we need. It wouldn't be the first time recently we've turned a bad player in a 2 turn into a good one in a 3. 

Whilst the Maguire point is........surprising, do you honestly think Mount is a better player than Foden?

Yes this is real life
Todd's football fantasy
He wants a man who'll slide in
and give away penalties

Open that wallet and continue the spending spreeee
He's just a poor boy, on 200 grand a week
And so Harry comes, Christian goes
Wages high, performance low

As soon as the referee blows
Chelsea'll be guaranteed defeaaat
Defeat...

Different players, but yes. 

His output is actually better than fodens, despite mount needing to do more defensive work and despite Foden playing in a better team.

He's a slight upgrade on Christensen, but not Rudiger, so he would improve our bench, but it ain't happening.

Agree,  for 30 m this is a no brainer. 

 

Doubt this is happening. Person reporting it is from dailymail.

United isn't selling anyway, that's one rejection I'm happy with 😁DM started the story and got the clicks they wanted, last night's story was Pullisic wants CL football should he leaves, so the swap deal is dying if not dead already

Got to be a week's ban for even starting this thread surely ? 🙂 

“I’ve been asked a lot about Harry Maguire ... My understanding is that, at the moment, Chelsea’s priority is Wesley Fofana. This is the only answer I'm getting from Chelsea.”

 

I wonder if he is back up option if Fofana doesn’t happen

To everyone please don't shoot the messenger I feel bad enough as it is posting this. Can't see it happening but like everyone else praying it doesn't.

Yeah you’d have to have no brain to buy Harry Maguire.

Did anyone watch the Spurs vs Wolves match yesterday. That Nunes guy is a real deal. The way he took charge of the wolves midfield yesterday and his long range shots and a nice header that got Lloris rooted to the spot but a little wide of the post.... I daresay wolves have a 100m player in their hands within two years

Hes another that's been stationed there by that agent Mendes. Next season he will be up for sale for huge money.

Upon reflection I've now decided I'd happily take Maguire in a straight swap for Pulisic as rumoured.

I wouldn't pay any money for Maguire but he's far better in his position than Pulisic is in his.  

There's at least some way to actually use Maguire even if it's bringing him on just for a late corner.

I've just seen reported that we've offered 50m for slabhead ....NO

Heard he turned us down, to have good crack at the Europa league glory

There surely wasn’t even a bid!

I won’t believe it until I see the words from Tommys or Todd’s mouths! 

 

This would be the worst transfer decision in our entire history for me. Much worse then Papy, Bogarde etc etc.

Cannot possibly be true ... 

Maybe Harry leaked the rumour to convince Ten Haag he's hot property and not to bench him for Frodo.

we have already seen what merely being linked to Maguire can do to the team

3-0 loss to Leeds

 

Also how good did they look as soon as they dropped him. tells us all we needed to know, although we didnt  need any telling
