First megathread of the Lemmy era!! Get in!!
Assuming posts regarding “that gif” will be insta deleted. Not sure if the curse transfers over but really don’t want try.
I want to reserve judgment but at least he is an upgrade over Eriksen. In ETH I trust!
I’m not so sure he’s an upgrade over Eriksen. I don’t think Mount’s vision is anywhere near Eriksen.
I would argue the fitness is the biggest differentiating factor between the 2
So we started the bid at 40m, Chelsea wanted 70m. Both sides end up at 55m with 5m addon. Not exactly sure what the addons conditions are but I heard its difficult to meet. In the event Mason meet those addons conditions, we’d be ecstatic to pay Chelsea that 5m. So really, it feels like the deal is at 55m.
With that being said, how do we feel about this deal?
I feel like its a fair deal. The “real” price is closer to 55m than the reported 60m. To me 55m is the right aMount.
I said when it was first reported we were in for him I wouldn’t want to go above 60. It’s a big spend but I’m pretty happy about it
Amazing. Yup, 5 mil more. But honestly, that’s not too bad.
Get Onana and Højlund and I’ll unclench. Can’t wait to see Mount though.
Not even “5 mil more” most likely.
Orny reports that the 5M bonuses are hard ones.
It seems like the deal we put on the table was basically 50M + 5M of fairly easy bonuses. What we agreed to is 55M + 5M of the Balon d’Or special.
Realistically, we probably aren’t out any more money. If we are, it’ll have been fucking worth it.
I’d gladly have us pay that 5M bonus for a Balon d’Or from him!
Good first signing, and also before pre-season that’s good. I hope for keeper next!
Always rated him
now do a striker please
For some reason I’m picturing Bender shouting “DO A FLIP”
Edit: Perfect
Still trying to figure out this new platform - of course reddevils was my top priority. How do I join a community? I searched through the search function for “Manchester united” but cannot figure out how to join
Depends on the app you are using. If you can see an option on the main page for Sidebar or Community Info, tap that then you should be able to subscribe
Figured it out. Thank you :)
Fabrizio’s picture of Mount is something else 😂

Do we still have enough money to get Onana, Kane, Hojlund, and Osimhen?
Joking, of course. Arsenal has really strengthened their squad so I’m hoping we can keep up.
Onana
Martinez/Varane
Mount/Casemiro/McTominay
Antony/Hojlund/Kane/Osimhen/Rashford
Here we gooooo, every game ends 9-6
Yes! Go for Onana and Kane 🫶
I’m more likely to join than Kane. LOL
Can you play up top?
Finally, Mount has come back to —— Manchester United
PS: Rock reference
I did it…for ten Hag
