Would be a great deal. I wouldn't mind if they put the money towards paying Langston off and putting a end to the Langston affair once and for all.

Bloody hell £3m for Mason - bite their hand off now!!!

Mason makes good runs , but needs to play alongside a big, strong striker. He hasn't improved enough I'm afraid and three million would be great, as it's way over his value. Macheda is much more dangerous, but too lazy.

What people do not realize, is that £3m if true could possibly get us out of the embargo, then we maybe able to buy Watt :thumbup:

Now that would be good. £3m for Mason then we either get Watt or pay Langston off is great business in my opinion.

Snap their hands off. That's crazy money for Mason!!! Wolves are mental.

3 Mil is great business for us, I like Mason he is a good finisher but his all round game has stalled over the last few years. I hope the club have a good loan signing lined up to replace him. I hope this is not the start of a fire sale. Hopefully there will none of our players taken away by helicopter like Kavanagh was all those years ago.

Whichever way you look at it this is a good deal for all concerned. Wolves obviously rate the player (who is a great finisher), the player gets a new start and the club make a nice profit.

If we want the transfer embargo lifted I believe we have to prove ourselves profitable over the next 6 months. Bringing £3m is a great shot in the arm especially as the club seem to have Saadi coming back and have Immers to :thumbup:

I doubt it will because if the rumours are to be believed, the current transfer embargo is for breaking FFP last season. The £3m received will therefore not be able to improve last seasons finances and get us out of an embargo.

Mason is too lightweight,he was at Plymouth and hasn't really improved,take the money and wish him the best for his future.

Re: CARDIFF CITY SET TO SELL PLAYER TODAY FOR £3MILL

Surely a striker will be lined up for a loan?

Re: CARDIFF CITY SET TO SELL PLAYER TODAY FOR £3MILL

Good deal

He needs a fresh start


Good luck Mason

We stay under a transfer embargo until we prove to the Football League we are complying with FFP. So the £3m is a welcome addition and can only help to get it lifted for the summer transfer window.

According to this sale, it means we can bring a player in for a fee but he has to be on 75% of what Mason is on

No it doesn`t.

The transfer embargo , which cannot now be lifted until at least the end of March and so only be of benefit in the Summer 2016 transfer window , prevents the club from paying any kind of fee for a player , be it a permanent transfer fee or a loan fee.

The 75% you refer to only relates to the wages of a new player coming in where the club is up to its maximum 24 qualifying players and has let a player go to take the number below that number. So , if Joe Mason was on £10k a week , the new player could be paid no more than £7.5k a week (including national insurance and any fee paid by the club to his agent).

At the moment , the club is below its 24 limit anyway.

Cheers easy! Hasn't quite lived up to the expectations, too weak and slow to cut it as a regular. All the best though!

Joe Mason deal 'now up to player himself'

QUOTE "We’ve been speaking to sources around the Mason deal and they report a £3m deal has been agreed between the two clubs, but it’s now down to the player to make a decision. Mason has scored six goals in 24 appearances for Cardiff this season."

99% of people could have told you we had no ambition when the cost cutting was announced and slade put in charge. It wasn't rocket science to work out
