I believe that to be true (just)
Bonuses can have a big impact though, it's not just basic wage that matters
I think it would have been a mistake. Albion owners and managers - even those with Albion in their hearts - have made mistakes in the past.

I would rather we get the right player at the right price. He may have been the right player but not at that price, be it the fee or the wages that were too much.
This is a transition season out are going some for many reasons maybe they prefer a different style of play or management maybe the management want a different style of player.
We are having a great season when you consider the upheaval of preseason and the amount of injuries and at last we are just starting to see what a development squad can deliver.
We may make the playoffs we might not but the future is bright

This. I suspect, is more like the correct description of what happened. Without wishing to be wise after the event it always sounded as though this may happen and if we manage to get Mason he may very well prove to be the better buy in the long run, particularly if Conway comes with him.

I'm a bit non-plussed as to why we would spend big money on a third striker with CMS returning.
Of course they have. I hope our current setup is better though, and I'm sure we'd do better with players that they wanted, rather than players they have to settle for.
Yes, I'm not suggesting we payed more than we wanted to - I'm saying it would have been good if he'd accepted the offer we made. I don't think we dodged a bullet at all. Had he played for us today, I suspect we'd have got something from the game.

If mason was to be plan B there is no way we will pay 2.5m for him as reported in the Arsegus so plan C is on the horizon whatever that may be

Mason was reportedly available for around £600k a fortnight ago , why has the asking price more than trebled ?

Grabban's agent has played a blinder here , going back to Bournemouth and saying Brighton are prepared to pay him x amount in wages but Lewis would rather stay if you can match it , extend his current deal and alter the offer clause to a much higher figure.

Gawd knows ask the Arsegus ... 2m but apparently his wages would be more acceptable ?
Quote- Albion are expected to revert their attention to Cardiff's Joe Mason. He will cost around £2 million but will fit in with the Seagulls' wage structure

An online article by HITC (Here Is The City) said the money we got from Burnley for Barnes would be enough to sign Mason from Cardiff on a permanent deal. Even The Argus 4 days ago mentioned he was rated at about £600k. Cardiff City fan forums suggest he is also worth £600k.600k was the loan fee. 2.5 million the transfer fee.

finger in the wind stuff....who outside the clubs really knows
In that case I imagine we only wanted him as a third choice striker. No great loss. Let's move on.
