True, but he's not an out-and-out striker. He plays behind the front man, so one ever 4/5 games isn't too bad for that - especially at 22. He's also been central to a team that won promotion to the Premier League. Would much rather him than Grabban who has had one decent half-season in the...
Mason may cost double what Grabban does, but if his wages are more reasonable it's feasible he'll end up being cheaper in the long-run. People shouldn't get hung up on the transfer free alone. Let the other clubs fight it out over Grabb&Run while we SWOOP for Mason.
To be fair, the Cardiff fans on here did laugh at the notion of getting him at £600k. He's a proven player at this level, yet young enough to be here a while. £2.5m doesn't sound unreasonable
How about we wait until the end of Jan to decide whether we're "being taken for a ride". What ride is this by the way? Is it the ride where our chairman spends well in excess of £100m on the club to make us into a club players want to join? Some people need to get some perspective
