Tom, perhaps I am being over sensitive but if your being smart after the event comments were directed at me, I would love me to point out that I was saying that at the time Mount was parading around as "Mr Chelsea "
I was pleased as punch when we offloaded him to Man United for £55 million although they got their own back with Garnacho.
I would have kept Trev but given his pure profit and Fofana being on £200K a week and with no takers it was inevitable that Chalobah would be sacrificed.
As for Jackson, I have no regrets that we sold him, I found him to extremely frustrating to watch.
The only top class player I didn't begrudge leaving was Eden. He deserved the opportunity and like it or not, Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world. Don't forget with the add ons, he was the gift that just kept giving.
On a side note, I don't see any team stopping Arsenal from winning the title. They are efficient and know how to win games and have a very solid defence. I am neutral about other clubs coaches but I can't stand Arteta, the way he moves around the technical area like he's trying to hold in a fart really irritates me.

He had come through the Chelsea youth system won a Champs League and voted POS two years on the spin by Chelsea fans. I think it's probably reasonable to feel some attachment to a club you have been at since you were a nipper.
The club didn't offer him what he wanted so he left, it happens, who cares.
I don't "begrudge" any player leaving mainly because I don't want us to keep unhappy players, players who can get better deals elsewhere or more playing time at another club. Players only get one shot at a career, good luck to them.
