Bournemouth bid for Mason

Sat Jan 18, 2014 11:08 pm

Really hope we don't sell....

"Sky Sports understands Bournemouth have made a bid for Cardiff City forward Joe Mason. Bolton are also keen on Mason after he spent a successful loan spell at the Reebok Stadium, but Bournemouth are hoping to win the race for his signature."

How do we know he is not better than championship? The performance in the league cup final suggested differently in my humble opinion.

because he wasnt prolific in the championship and the PL is a much bigger step.

Add to the fact he has no pace and its a must in this league

I don't wish to disagree with you and I except that pace is really important in the premier league. However, Lallana does not have great pace but he has been given an opportunity.

Are they really? Do you not think that Mason could play behind the main striker?

He was prolific in his first season and didn't get a chance second season under MM yet still banged in goals coming off the bench. His age shows he has time and he has potential, I wouldn't get rid of him.

Worth keeping hold of since we only have 4 strikers and one of them is Odemwingie.

Mason has a knack for scoring goals and being in the right place, his goal against Blackburn away last year was class

Considering his age and how we were in that season, I thought he done a good job. Lot of pressure for him to join a club like us from Plymouth when we been pushing for promotion for 2/3 seasons to the Prem.
