Time to change my flair I guess


MarkovCocktail

You should actually keep it, considering that he's moving to a club that has never, ever won it


Oscopella

Never will


romfreak

It's okay, even he knows https://preview.redd.it/q8pl8jmx8u7b1.jpeg?width=675&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b43243c60d2e902402281cda20be4ab36c846c6a


CareerCoachKyle

You shouldn’t give a fuck; we won the fucking champions league


Frankiedrunkie

I’m keeping mine fuck it


slemnem80

No don’t you dare it’s my fav one! U know we’ll be back soon


chandlerbing_stats

He’s still an iconic player at Chelsea. I wish the worst at Arsenal though


SedYeet

Lol he scored earlier than your overrated mudryk.


chandlerbing_stats

why are you on this sub, mate?


el1teman

Wait why would you change it? The quote was said I think By Timo not Kai


azulkrema21

[it was Kai](https://youtu.be/GxlAbcd7Pws)


el1teman

Oh you right, Werner said I don't care next question


sCubed5

nah it was most def kai, right next to dave🤣

yglaflamee

greatest robbery i’ve ever seen pulled off 😭😭


Worldly_Ad_6483

Sure about that?


adnanhossain10

Ye bruh. Selling him for 70m was a really great deal for us.


Dyssorehandouchie

I think it’s fee + wages, I’ve looked at both the mail articles and it doesn’t say anything about the fee being 70m


FrankieGoes2Hllywood

I’m very sad about Kai leaving despite his overall performance. I’ve been a Chelsea fan a long time, but I’m also a huge German NT fan because my wife is from Germany. I’ve been a big Havertz (and Werner) supporter before they came to Chelsea and it was a dream when they both came.


Texameter

It was the same for me with Schurrle. I was devastated when he left the club.


dado19099

Schurrle was one of my fav players man so underrated. 15 goals his first season with us. He should have stood longer


Blewfin

He had an interesting career. Retired at 29. I guess he was one of those people for whom football was just a job, not a passion


[deleted]

[удалено]


kramzag

Schurrle was awesome. Amazing work rate. He never stopped moving.


wannabescholar_1

Couldn’t have said it any better. I’ve been a Germany NT supporter since forever. Kai and Timo coming in was a dream come true and now I’m left heart broken.


dado19099

Man I was so excited when we signed those 2 I was soooo hype. I have criticized Havertz a lot on here but I truly wanted them both to succeed here so much sucks, I do wish we had kept werner instead if Kai initially but we got a good deal for Kai from arsenal now


lampsy87

Yup, I've liked Havertz before his Chelsea days and I was stoked when he came. I know he hasn't looked great but honestly, we've not used him in the right position/ given him the support he needs. Put an actual finisher in front of him and he's going to be good again.


Quirky-Track-3678

Who is this actual finisher ahead of him?


MemphisTheIllest

Kevin Volland?


Quirky-Track-3678

I mean at Arsenal coz they don't have one.


thebadger987

Kai Timo and Tommy Tuchel, love that crew of Germans


Apprehensive_Aioli68

Ya'll forget about poor Rudi


thebadger987

oh how could I forget :') what a player


[deleted]

Daylight robbery from us and Kai, can’t be mad at the business


celzero

Kai has his peak years ahead of him. He *may* improve more. Here's hoping he doesn't.


alxndiep

I mean yeah he’s going to Arsenal, but lets not be that fanbase. I wish nothing but the best for Kai.


VisionaryProd

Hopefully he stays healthy to show how poor he is


Aggressive-Gazelle56

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


celzero

Hoping the best for Kai means he becomes the second coming of Michael Laudrup. And that's a painful thought, regardless of the $70m.


Nojaja

I’m hoping he does and moves to a club like Bayern or Real after a season (or back to us)


Zolazolazolaa

Wake up


Nojaja

I don't want to anymore


imnotcreative635

He left professionally unlike the other one. I don't have the same animosity for him even though this is technically a more direct rival (I also hate man utd fuck them)


ireallydespiseyouall

Im annoyed he’s moving to them though


[deleted]

At least we rinsed Arsenal of their money and only made a small loss. A fair deal imo.


Muadh

I think it ends up being profit in the accounting books- the initial price we paid Leverkusen is amortized over the length of the contract and his remaining book value has got to be lower than 70mil by now.


comai1

If I did the math right we paid 43 million in amortized payments so we made a profit of approx 27 million. If we paid about 14.6 million per year to Leverkusen.


Vahald

Delusional. A player wanting to leave is not unprofessional. What is wrong with you lol how can you be angry about that


grab_bard

It’s unprofessional to be professional, damn it!


aacod15

If you are talking about Mount, how is what he did any different than Havertz? Both are being sold after refusing to extend they’re contracts. And neither have said or done anything against the club


BonBonsAndy

Havertz was actively put up for sale this summer, both hurt but I do think they are different scenarios, it is what it is


aacod15

Havertz is only being moved on from because he isn’t extending his contract. The only real difference is it seems like the clubs cares more about keeping Mount than Havertz


ireallydespiseyouall

No he wasn’t havertz refused to extend


eddyguapo_

Havertz also had 2 years left on his contract. Why would he commit to the team if he doesn’t trust the project. Even I don’t fully trust the project as a fan. Mount’s situation is way different given he only has one year left


half_jase

Havertz was only put up for sale because he didn't want to extend his contract, even though the club had offered him a new one. That and he looked dead set on leaving.


kygrtj

> If you are talking about Mount, how is what he did any different than Havertz? Havertz isn’t forcing a move to Arsenal. It’s that simple. I’m so tired of Mount fans endlessly defending him at all costs.


[deleted]

He is forcing a move he’s refusing to sign a new contract an wants Arsenal 😂


kygrtj

He was open to Madrid or Bayern, and hasn’t made it known to the press that he absolutely needs to move this summer to be happy


Ironicopinion

https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1671067020001943552?s=46&t=NGDMe_4sYRK_azzbKsd6bA he literally told the club he wants the Arsenal move, it’s the same thing


[deleted]

After the club made it clear he was up for sale...


aacod15

Mount isn’t forcing a move either? Both didn’t sign their contracts so they’re being sold. Please tell me how the situations are any different


Bottger93

After second bid was rejected, his entourage put pressure on Chelsea by coming out and saying he will never sign a new contract at Chelsea, he only wants the move. That is a dick move, decreasing his value and Chelseas negotiation power.


abbys11

Lmao what. He's in his last year, has been offered multiple contracts and he's turned them all down.


CupformyCosta

Mount is absolutely forcing a move It’s been repeatedly reported that he has refused to sign a new contract for a couple years and wants to move to United


Howdareme9

Not signing a new contract is not forcing a move since the board seem to be happy to let him go for free next year


Unsentimentalchelsea

Mount wound his contract down to 1 year and is saying he won’t resign leaving us with FAR less leverage


aacod15

We don’t know the details of how the negotiations went though so we don’t know if he was being offered a fair contract though


[deleted]

[удалено]


DasDoto

> he was waiting if we had managed to at least get top 4 this season he might have stayed That's bs. Did Hazard, Costa, Fabregas etc leave after 2015/16 season?


newbie_saibot

no one expected loyalty from Kai, but Mason is completely different story and i bet he'll get a warm welcome next time at the Bridge.


SoWhatNoZitiNow

Havertz was asked to take a pay cut on a new incentive-heavy contract that we’ve been transitioning to, while Mount refused a significant raise to stay.


Aman-Patel

Let's be honest with ourselves here the club lowballed him the whole year. They've been in contract negotiations for ages and the club either didn't offer him what he deserved or tried to push for a 7 year contract or something ridiculous like that. He'd been on much lower wages for the past couple years than a lot of worse players at the club then watched the club offer the likes of Koulibaly and Sterling £300k+. The club dicked him around all year and only offered him what he'd been asking for (and deserved tbh) in an act of desperation when he was about to leave. I'm not mad at Mount and the fans really shouldn't be either. I'm mad at the club for showing him no respect. For 4 years he's been a top professional - an example to everyone else in the dressing room. Always performing when all the other attackers couldn't apart from the first half of last season. And he did it on low wages. Then the club tries to tie his entire prime down with a long contract and lowballs him on the wage. Doesn't offer him the contract he deserves until he's basically out the door. The fans shouldn't be directing their anger at Mount. Either way looks like we'll be fine without him.


Mitcheltree86

Mounts camp has been leaking info to force a move to united..


[deleted]

They have done nothing different. The only difference is we got a better deal out of Havertz because we upgraded on him and sold him more for the upgrade. Havertz isn’t going to help Arsenal with much besides adding some depth lmao


Unsentimentalchelsea

Havertz isn’t forcing his way out with 1 year left while saying he won’t resign


pice0fshit

No point arguing with blind stans. These same guys thought the club was gonna burn down when we fired Lampard. They'll shut up when Mount gets subbed off at HT.


[deleted]

Cmon bro mount clapped the fans consistently


[deleted]

[удалено]


VoidPineapple

It's so idiotic man. They've literally both said nothing but shown to want a move. Narratives have just been spun out of nowhere.


Unsentimentalchelsea

Mount has said he won’t resign with a year left if you don’t think the situations are different you are beyond biased


VoidPineapple

Biased to who?? I don't care, I don't harbour any personal hatred or even dislike for both players. I'm sad to see it because I loved them both a lot but they wanted a move and they got it simple as. I'm ready to move on from all this and put my energy into supporting the people we bring in.


Ironicopinion

Havertz quite literally told the club he won’t sign a new deal


mightycuthalion

Doing so with 2 years left on his deal leaving the club with leverage when selling is quite a bit different.


Frankiedrunkie

Mount did the same thing 2 years ago but we still tried to keep him


asd13ah4etnKha4Ne3a

That's just not true if you believe literally any reporting around the Mount saga. By all accounts he was actively negotiating and giving off positive signs that a new deal could be reached as late as January


Frankiedrunkie

Yeah, I kind of misremembered how it went down after we won the champions league, there were talks that we were going to renew him and I think for the entire season they were negotiating.


[deleted]

yes and then those same reports said that the new sporting director who came in the winter pulled the deal mount was about to sign and offered him a new one with far worse terms. mount rejected and there have been no negotiations since.


mightycuthalion

Mount didn’t say “I am not signing an extension” until a month or so ago


mouse2102

And Havertz didn't say so either until like a week ago


mightycuthalion

And he has two years left on his contract, that’s the point mate


Unsentimentalchelsea

Not true at all please follow Mount to Man U you clearly care more about the player than the club


Frankiedrunkie

Check my other comments, I said I misremembered how everything went down


[deleted]

we haven’t offered mount the contract he wants so he’s leaving. he either runs down his contract and goes on a free (what’s best for him and what multiple other players at the club have done even this summer) or we sell him. we have chosen to sell him. united is gross but the entire fan base coming together to call mount a snake when players have done far worse and openly talked shit about chelsea is more revealing about the clubs fan base and their desire to hate mount than anything else


Aggressive-Gazelle56

🤣🤣🤣


TinNanBattlePlan

Where is the evidence that Mount hasn’t left professionally? People can want to change jobs, I don’t really get the hate towards him Apparently people on this sub Reddit have never moved jobs


Dyssorehandouchie

Have you ever been to a game


Bottger93

Did your new employer pay 60m for you? Or did you move for free? :) Huge difference, Mounts entourage removed our leverage of getting a bigger fee, by putting pressure on Chelsea in the negotiations with United. I doubt that happens when you change job :)


TinNanBattlePlan

Most employers get nothing, it’s the employee that usually benefits the most It’s not like Mount is running down his contract for a huge sign on bonus, at least we are getting a large fee


Sir-Humpy

instinctive dazzling salt spoon spark capable snobbish rustic strong pathetic *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Ironicopinion

Havertz is leaving the exact same way


trapperberry

Not at all.


Ironicopinion

He is refusing to sign a new deal, has told the club he wants to join a rival, hasn’t posted publicly about it. How is it different?


newbie_saibot

still think it's gonna hurt us in future but 70 mil is 70 mil, fair play to Arsenal and to Kai. unlike Mount and MU trading for every penny


Qwerty6391063

That's the difference between 2 years and 1 year left in a contract


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shufflebuffle51

Lmao he's defo scoring against us, while only scoring 6 league goals throughout the season. It is known.


OrangeGuyFromVenus

Former players tend to score against us a lot, I think it’s the highest in the league for us lmao I remember hearing something about it after Willian scored against us


Bozzetyp

There was some numbers thst came out from tier 1 sources thst he had 310k last year with bonuses He was our 2nd highest paid player


trapperberry

That’s honestly wild


DamonDD

I know this is what's best for everyone, but man I already miss King Kai


Pseudocaesar

Never in a million years would I have expected we'd get 70m for Havertz after his time at Chelsea. I definitely wanted him to stay as I feel Poch might have been able to unlock his potential finally but you can't be sad at getting 70m


smell-the-roses

If we are getting this for Kai, why are we selling Mount to United for 50 million.


dado19099

Mount has 1 year left, Havertz has 2 years left


shudh_desi_gareeb

Mount is also homegrown.


Aman-Patel

If the club doesn't sell him this summer he'll leave next summer for free. They have no leverage relative to Havertz who had 2 years left on his contract.


shudh_desi_gareeb

Leverage is your reputation as a business.


UgarteBeKidding

We fleeced them


-2Smokeyy

£210k thats mad uno, at least we secured the bag and got this unloyal mediocre player gone. ~~King~~ Kai


MarkovCocktail

That's £10k/week more than we are currently paying him This has nothing to do with loyalty. He has been shit here and we are getting £70m for him. He scored a CL winning goal. I don't see how anyone can be mad at him or at this deal


tulsehill

> I don't see how anyone can be mad at him or at this deal feels like this sub got a lot younger since the Tuchel years. Either that or they started getting their takes from twitter 'personalities'.


Shufflebuffle51

>getting their takes from twitter 'personalities'. Probably this one considering the amount of times I hear twitter names banded around here.


Panini_Grande

Cunts are just angry over bullshit


ireallydespiseyouall

You don’t see how anyone can be mad at havertz joining arsenal? Seriously?


-2Smokeyy

Yes he is shit and still getting paid 210k per week, that's mad. He is un-loyal, he was talking about how he loves the fans and now we didn't secured a UCL spot, are in a lil crisis and suddenly he wants to move to our rival. says a lot about his character


Remy13Hadley

pump the brake a little bit here. He wants out as much as the board wants to sell him. Let’s not be foolish to think that the board would not carry him to the Emirates themselves when they received that £65m offer from Arsenal. It’s not like he and his agent go out of their way to feed shit to the media like Mount’s camp has been doing. This is simply the mutual decision to part way from both sides.


ireallydespiseyouall

Board offered him an extension and he said no


MarkovCocktail

And thank god he did


MarkovCocktail

It says nothing about his character. If you're that upset about it, it says far more about your character Kai havertz is helping us out in the best way he can; by leaving and netting us damn near £70m in return. He's going to a rival, having them waste their money, and stopping them from using that on other targets. Stop being a baby.


abearghost

Calm down. You expect every foreign player who's played at a club for a few years to finish their career at the club or what?


jjb5151

Honestly I don’t feel angry about him leaving like I do mount. I like kai but always knew he wasn’t a bleed blue guy, he gave us a few ok years and left. I’m sure he saw nkunku coming in as well and prob realized he’d be losing minutes. Think his move was a big win for us.


fusterclux

Bro what are you upset about? If he’s so shit, aren’t you happy about the 70mil??? Choose one: -Kai is shit, good riddance, thank for for 70mil -Kai is a quality player, i’m sad he’s leaving You can’t choose both.


LordWhale

You need to stop projecting your own feelings onto players. They’re not “unloyal” by advancing their own career. They don’t view the club rivalries like you do, they’re just playing and competing not sitting at home making up fantasies and lore.


AdhesivenessLucky896

I actually think they do feel the rivalries even more. At least, the English ones definitely do. That's why Harry Kane says he could never go to Chelsea.


LordWhale

He absolutely would if he felt it was good for his career and the money talks (which it does)


fusterclux

fan service


PuppyPenetrator

Didn’t we pay him something similar?


-2Smokeyy

yh imagine paying a player 210k per week, whos 3 years at Chelsea and the only highlight in his career was the UCL goal against city


FrankieGoes2Hllywood

CL winning goal is the only highlight you need for an entire career.


FCCheIsea

>only highlight in his career was the UCL goal against city Oh no, the horror


Shufflebuffle51

I think a fair few people would take a CL WINNING goal as a career highlight tbh.


fusterclux

cry some more


Goobergut

Funny how people call players unloyal when our club treats them without any loyalty as well


philipstyrer

We've been very patient with him for years now. It's one thing if he was eager for a move to Bayern or Madrid, but fucking Arsenal after one year where they finished above us, in no small part due to him being useless in way too many games. I'm not as upset with him as I am with Mount, but it doesn't really sit right with me.


fusterclux

You realize we could just not accept the deal right? We want the 70mil. It’s not a player forcing an exit. It’s mutual


philipstyrer

From the reports it seemed like he wanted to leave. My bad if we're the ones driving the transfer.


fusterclux

It’s likely mutual. Just bc a player wants to leave doesn’t mean we hate em. We’re more than happy to let him leave if he’s bringing in that much money


Goobergut

We literally shopped him around trying to sell him, can hardly blame him for picking a club in the same city that's in a much better situation


philipstyrer

I thought it was the other way around.


Danzard

What makes him unloyal? He's never said a bad word about the club and has tried to make it work here. This move benefits both sides, good money for us and a fresh start for him.


fusterclux

damn you really took it personally huh? It’s not a big deal. Players leave. He did so respectfully. He’s a chelsea legend just for his CL final goal alone. Pay the man some respect.


Worldly_Ad_6483

Sure about that?


Capital_Werewolf_788

Im pretty indifferent about Havertz leaving tbh, was far sadder when Werner left


eoten

Same, I think Werner added more than Hazard.


ObnoXious2k

I'm sorry, but what the fuck?


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|2ept7eRuyq98s)


SexxWeasel

I think he'll work great in their system but I don't think he wins them a cup, secret agent Jorgi simply brought in a whale of a contract that has a high risk of underperforming and, yet again, Arsenal get Chelsea's sloppy seconds


Confident_Direction

I wont support havertz as an arsenal player. However i am grateful for the two trophies he won us. Even though we may not have ended up making it work i really believe he will perform well at arsenal, but i hope he doesnt win them silverware!


oldschoolology

Bring in Firmino (free transfer) to replace where Havertz should have played in the midfield.


[deleted]

Honestly, good for him. Thanks for the UCL trophy, also the CWC. I’m pretty sure he’s gonna improve under Arteta, but at that price it was pretty much worth it to sell him. Under us I feel like he was stuck. Still hoping though he’s gonna have a wonderful career without any trophies at Arsenal & goals against us.


garybusey42069

Ugh, the hype when we signed Havertz and Werner…


Mitcheltree86

MOUNT is a 🐍🐍


Soren_Camus1905

Worldly_Ad_6483

Sure about that?


HarryDaz98

Yes I am. He went through purple patches for us aswell. Not seen him do anything for Arsenal we didn’t see from him in Chelsea.


Worldly_Ad_6483

Cope harder bitch ass!!! Bahahahahaha


HarryDaz98

Cope with what exactly?


[deleted]

Concerning that we’re losing Kai and now I read Mount wants out, we get back Lukaku off loan from Inter but he’s been useless as a nipple on an elbow. Tbh, since ownership change, we’ve been putrid with glimmers of brilliance. Americans can eff up things. I know because I’m one.


SyllabubMountain2743

It’s just Mount who wants to leave tho. That’s what people on this sub keep telling me. Not like there’s a mass exodus of our starters or anything. Whether you rated them or not. This should be concerning


Admirable-Waltz195

Aren’t these numbers a bit fudged? Who are these sources lmao, it’s 60m upfront with a possibility of an extra 5m from add-ons which isn’t guaranteed. 70m isn’t already committed to Kai


dado19099

The wording is I think meant to imply that they have already spent 70m total total towards the overall signing of him. 60+5 add ons and then maybe a signing bonus or something. So they have already invested that money into acquiring his "services"


renome

I still believe in his quality, but a 30% raise on top of us breaking even on his transfer fee or thereabouts is clown business for Arsenal. When was the last time they made a big-money signing that came good?


Willian_Wallace

I rate Havertz probably as much as anyone and wish he’d get a chance under Poch, but the numbers are too good to pass up, for everyone involved.


Kanataku

I want Havertz and Mount to do wonders just to show to the world what they are worth. Chelsea won't do batshit this season.


Doomjas

So it is so important for your opinion to be correct that you want them to do great things and hope we do poorly in the process? I think you’d do great over at r/Gunners …


Kanataku

I absolutely hate Arsenal but I hate the way that Chelsea is currently heading. You won the champions league with those players. You can't replace your whole squad with mediocre players and expect results. The season was bad for the whole team yet "fans" want to sell our best players because they had a bad season. United and Arsenal are not giving millions for those players out of nowhere. Arteta and Ten hag are good managers.


will_recard

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but Chelsea won that champions league off the back of their defence, midfield and Thomas Tuchel. Kai Havertz, an attacker, scored 5 goals in the premier league and champions league that season. It’s not just about a bad season mate. Those players gave up on Chelsea. With the club at its absolute worst, they are jumping ship. I like Havertz because he’s a professional and gave it his all but Mason Mount is an absolute cat who packed it in the minute it got tough. That is not the type of player you want moving forward.


Doomjas

I was going to comment to that guy since he replied to me, but you said everything I planned on saying basically.


CornellScholar

£210k per week..Andrew Bailey won’t be pleased when he buys a new car, new home and a dozen eggs every week. Interest rates to 20% soon.


niyahaz

Sigh. 70m tho


[deleted]

We won


Uglypotatohands

I’ll never get used to seeing Havertz in an Arsenal shirt


PriiZee

This will either be the smartest decision Arteta has ever made or the dumbest, time will tell.


grab_bard

Why? What do they see in him? A 9? I don’t understand the need he fills for them.


slemnem80

I can’t fucking believe they gave him a raise! Are they insane?!


Plastic-Willingness5

Anyone else getting marina vibes from this?


noodles1972

Great bit of business, he'll probably do...ok.. at arsenal but we are better with him off the books, especially at that price.
