' Despite Cardiff City Claiming He was Not For Sale '

Cardiff City and Wolves 'agree £3m fee' for Joe Mason despite City claims he was not for sale

It is now down to the player to decide if he wants to move and agree personal terms


Cardiff City are thought to have agreed a £3m fee with Wolves for Joe Mason – just a week after suggesting he was not for sale.

And it looks now down to the player whether to quit Cardiff City Stadium for their Championship rivals.

The Bluebirds had been keen to hold onto the 25-year-old Mason after seeing him as a key part of plans under boss Russell Slade. Although they had told Wolves they valued the forward at £5m, it is thought it had been suggested to the former Plymouth man there was no intention from the club to cash-in during this window – not least because the current transfer embargo means they would be unable to sign a permanent replacement.

But it is understood a deal in principle has been agreed by both Cardiff and Wolves with only personal terms standing in the way of Mason following Kenwyne Jones out of the club.


Joe Mason looks to be leaving Cardiff City

It is thought Mason is currently unsure on a decision but will be aware Wolves manager Kenny Jackett has been a long admirer of his link play.

and its the right decision!

Plymouth will get a good chunk of the fee

and its the right decision!

All players are for sale for the right price. And £3 million is way above the right price!

Has to go through for £3m super business

Can't blame clu for you turn money talks

Would take 750k if we wernt on the embargo but 1.5 as we are.great deal for city of you ask me

That was just to get the price up. In my opinion Mason is a good finisher, but has not got the pace to get into positions to score more goals, and many times gets in the position but cannot cannot control the ball.I think that Slade realizes that, which is about the only thing he does realize,, wolves saw how he played there and as he had a brilliant game, said buy him, they must have had him watched when he had good games. I expect LE Fondre will now be on the bench, hope he is not on his way back, as him and Mason are number 10's

He is never worth that much.

Not often I've said this recently, but great business by the club and well done to them.

What happened to the £5m price tag

Great business mason is not good enough his performances have proved that over the course of the season

What happened to the £5m price tag

Danny, you of all people never believed the bolloxes City have been putting out on Mason,Marshall etc, that to be fair was to try and get higher fees. All our players are for sale, so Tan can get his money back.

My emoticon was meant to signify it was a joke.........whoops

I'd be furious if I was a Wolves fan and they are spending £3m on Mason

Their fans don't seem too happy about it either after looking!

Do the Echo ever read back their own press?

6 days ago they were saying we may cash in - no direct quotes.

5 days ago he is not for sale - no direct quotes.

Now today they are believing their own copy.

Every City player has his price, Mason is no different

You say everyone is for sale for tan to get his money back yet he hasn't been able to take a penny out to date???

Strange comment really

It's wishful thinking by Annis I think

I find it amazing that we still find a reason to have a pop at the club.

Gareth Bale and Chritiano Ronaldo are for sale if you descretly enquire, of course they are not saying that to the media.

Great business, they quicker the pennies start coming in the quicker Vinny leaves, that what most of you want don't you.

Probably Wez and can't blame him for that I believe even the most staunch supporter of the club ( myself included) would have to admit that whilst some of tans involvement was needed at the time he has made tremendous mistakes and only time will tell if some of those mistakes will cost us in the long term and whether he will ultimately leave us in better shape than when he came here

We need more fans returning as well and I believe the club should be extremely honest about their approach for next season, are they keeping slade? If so is his brief to remain competitive again whilst offloading further players and wages?

If he's going what's the next managers remit?

I believe that sort of transparency will help we as fans are probably some of the worst for expectations and sometimes as people of we were told to expect less than usual in advance it may just make people think differently about the situation

Vinnie would transfer the tea lady,if it made him money,those that believe he has any interest left in the football club are living on a different planet,that should be plain to see because he don't come to watch the games,all our vincent wants his to get back his money,reason we got a shit manger,who's annual wage is around £125,000,makes me laugh when people say we should appoint this or that manager,no top name would come to cardiff for the wages on offer

I'd say his value is about 500k , so 3m is brilliant news in my opinion.

Hopefully keep it to invest in the summer with a new manager.

The majority of the debt he has made at City himself, it's owed to him and by reducing it he is getting his money back, common sense.

But what if offered good money to right manager? Guess they still won't come work for tan that be peoples reasoning? As for attending games Fernandez at QPR been twice I believe and once was with tan!!

Exactly.
The chairman and CEO attend virtually every game home and away. There are loads of owners that rarely travel to watch their team. It means nothing. Besides, with the hate and abuse coming from a large section of fans, I for one don't blame him.

Can you honestly see tan paying out for a top manager or even quality players???

If only people opened their eyes

Could we use this money to buy Watt? Forgive me if I'm wrong but can't we buy and sell on a 1-1 basis , with wages being the main factor if we sell for £3 mill and buy for £1-2 million

Gotta love this thread, remind me how much was Kav sold for ?
