It's not any business though is it. You can have twenty brilliantly run football clubs and three will still get relegated

Does this mean no Felliani?
That's between you and Mrs JamesAndTheGiantHead
I'm not sure what Mason has done to have his value increase from £600k to £2.5million in a week, unless Cardiff know we're desperate and are pricing accordingly.

Not seen such Bravery!
I suspect it was the loan fee ( 600 K ) being confused with the transfer fee ( 2.5 million ) when it was reported.

Who said it was 600k? That was purely guess work. £2.5m is a fair price.
I'm sure Andy Naylor was quoting £600k in the Argus (apologies if wrong).

Yeah, but was an aimless guess?
Obviously I don't actually know, I just have a feeling the losses are going to be announced as much bigger this year.
I know there are Naylor bashers on NSC but he doesn't usually make things up. 26 goals in 128 games hardly gets the pulse beating.

How soon is now?
i read somewhere last week his value was £600K as well, but cannot remember where. However, if a player is worth £2.5m, I would have thought that his salary expectation would fit somewhere in line with his value, unless a huge chunk of that £2.5m is a signing on fee to lessen his weekly pick up?
"£600,000 valued Joe Mason", and similar, was written about a fair bit by Naylor, such as here:

Naylor quoted £600,000 rated a few times:

I just wonder if Bournemouth are playing us like a piano at present. They gazump us with Grabban, after finding out the terms we are prepared to offer, then put it out in public that they're prepared to pay £2 million for Mason, creating an expectation with Cardiff that his value has increased, leaving TB further out of pocket.
Sky Sports indicated that Cardiff had accepted a bid of £1.5m from Bournemouth - mind you that was before Howe denied they'd made any approach for him.

Silly old bat
He's revised it to £2.5 million in this morning's article.

Hopefully it is agreed within the next couple of years then. I assume the embargoes are set to be enforced though?

Can't say that I know a great deal about Mason but £2.5m does seem a lot of money for a Cardiff reserve, I'm half expecting us to end up signing a striker from abroad that very few of us have ever heard of.
