Chelsea held their ground, no? Amazing offloading of players, I must say. Now they need to bring in a few.

They demanded £70m for Mount from the outset.

United offered £55m plus an additional £5m in reportedly difficult to achieve bonuses.

So it’s same price for Casemiro. Erikson is going to sit more on the bench now.

Surely with the schedule Erikson will still get decent game time? Wouldn't have thought Erikson would be a starter for too many more seasons anyways.

Yes, Eriksen slowed down towards the end of the season. More rotation will be beneficial.

Chelsea feels like they have their inflation slider set to higher than everyone else.

Mount is a nice addition for united but this is honestly insane money considering he only had a year left on his deal.

Good signing for United! Love the way Mount plays, he's the type of profile we needed.

Probably overpaid considering he's on the last year of his contract and had an abysmal season last year, but he's home-grown and has won multiple POTY awards.

Hopefully this means we'll move on from Fred. We need to start selling due to FFP, and invest in a GK & Striker.

Chelsea is just too good at selling, hope my Arsenal could be half as good.
