John Terry has told Chelsea fans to go easy on Mason Mount when he returns to Stamford Bridge with Manchester United due to an untold side to his summer transfer. Mount’s capitulated Chelsea career climaxed when he joined United in July, an unthinkable scenario as late as this year.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils sealed a \u00a360million swoop for Mount after unsuccessful contract talks with his boyhood club resulted in him entering the final 12 months of his deal.<\/p>\n
Chelsea fans reacted angrily to the transfer, wondering just how one of the club’s most successful academy graduates could join a bitter rival so easily.<\/p>\n
Released footage of Mount and his father sat in the Old Trafford dressing room after his arrival, calling it ‘special’ and ‘home’, only poured fuel onto the fire.<\/p>\n
But Blues legend Terry suggests there is a bigger picture to one of the surprise transfers of the summer, which Chelsea fans should consider when forming a judgement on their departed star.<\/p>\n
“Mase is proper Chels through and through. There’s always two sides to a story, and I know the other side to it,” Terry told Knockout Events.<\/p>\n
“I’m not going to air that tonight, but there’s another side to the story. Let’s not be too harsh on him when he comes back.”<\/p>\n
