I think Ten Hag knows better what the team needs, Masom Mount is a very good player, it's just that last season the performance of the Chelsea team was bad so many people were disappointed with masom mount, but I think it's not masom mount's fault because of the performance of a team depends on all the players in the squad not just a few players.
And regarding Chelsea who set a very high price, I think it's also very reasonable because Masom Mount is a young player and has good quality so it's possible for this player to develop and be in top performance for a long time.
Mason Mount only played badly last season because he had injury and when he returns there were contract negotiations and Chelsea wasn't making him happy so how then do people expect Mason Mount to continue playing brilliantly in those conditions. Mason Mount only wanted similar contract to that of Reece James that he was better than because for the past few seasons Mason Mount has always been one of our best players and he won the award twice in a roll. Reece James wasn't playing regularly due to injury yet he still got a new contract negotiations and Mason Mount wasn't been given a fair contract.
Mason Mount knows if he leaves Chelsea he'll be getting exactly the salary he wanted or get paid more. As it stands Chelsea aren't in the best position to retain players because they have no European trophy to challenge for next season and players are leaving the club. If I was in the shoes of Mason Mount I'll do the same. The club was a joke last season and things could have been different if Todd Boehly left the affairs of the club to those who were employed just for that. Chelsea will sell Mason Mount but they're just delaying to see if they can get more money from his sell.
