No Transfer embargo stops us from paying any sort of fee no matter what the circumstances are.

Annis we all know everything and everyone is for sale. And those saying it's good business ? Well 3M it is good business for Tan as he will recoup all the money and put nothing back in. We all know deep down Tan is trying to get back as much as possible with no regard to where it will leave us.
We are now another striker down as we have got rid of nearly all of them and we have reverted to using Midfielders up front, the fact so far Pilks has been a revelation is not the point. He is still going to need someone up with him and now we have jack shit.

Well if your supposition is correct could you really blame him?

A really really nice bloke, but snap their hands off he's a very average Striker, that's 2 Million more than he's worth, Watt would have been miles better and miles cheaper....

If it reduces the debt to Tan surely that's good news.

I don't agree regarding Pilks, if he is going a good job it is the point in getting rid of a massively overrated striker for good money.

We still have Ameobi, macheda, Revell, Saadi along with pilington and the new guy being able to play number 10.

Have you been hiding under a rock in recent weeks?
We cannot pay any fee for a player be it permanent or loan.
Watt will not be coming.

According to a report on Wales Online, Joe Mason remains unsure whether to complete a move to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Wolves have agreed a £3 million fee for Mason with Cardiff City, but the striker is still undecided over whether a switch to Molineux would be right for him.

The 24-year-old has been at Cardiff since moving from Plymouth Argyle in 2011, and he has a prominent first team role in Russell Slade’s side.

Cardiff are currently above Wolves in the Championship table, and Kenny Jackett appears to have some persuading to do if he is to convince Mason to move to the club.

Mason has been identified as a potential replacement for Benik Afobe by Wolves, as they look to enhance their forward ranks.
