Does it reflect the growing disinterest in all things CCFC or simply that his performances have been poor most of this season and £3.5m is a very good deal.

Because we all know Joe wasn't very good, no speed, no heading ability... occasional decent finisher and he aint worth £3.5M in my view http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/wave.gif
Anything that happens down there now is not surprising, think we're battle hardened now.Quote:

3.5 million is great business. I liked Mason but he wasnt doing it for us .
I bet he outscores any striker we have.
How much?Quote:

He wasn't scoring goals and we are told 3 players (all strikers) are on coming he had to go, I doubt think he was worth £3.5 but was good business.
Why do we do it. I have no idea. Its bonkers. but its what we do.Quote:

Personally I feel Joe Mason was not treated too well at Cardiff City and I wish him well for the future.
He wasn't good enough as wolves will see. Thought he was a natural predator maybe, but no. Very average. Good deal for us and Plymouth. Makes no difference to us tho, we are not going anywhere anytime soon.Quote:

Most fans accept that the fee Wolves paid was too good t turn down, that's why the lack of angst.
I must have missed that last night though ( though the time say it was late, i was watching the last walking dead last night and then went to bed )Quote:

i don't think he has developed at all in the last 3 years, so a move will be good for him. The fee was good for us based on his form. A new coach/manager may bring out the best in him and we could see the Joe Mason that was good when he started with us. Sadly it'll be with Wolves though. Oh, and he doesn't score enough to be an out and out striker.
good luck Joe thanks for the memoriesQuote:

You can only carrying hoping for so long really
I personally believe that most fans were happy for Mason to leave as it gives Revell a better chance of playing. At least with Revell on the pitch the comedy makes up for the sterile low quality football that's on offer.
Good luck to Joe but I would have preferred to have kept Watt.
Selling a player who has spent far more time either on loan, on the bench or not in the squad in the past few seasons than playing (we have been paying him to pay for someone else) for £3.5 million is obviously good business. How he is replaced is a separate issue of course but selling him is good business.
I agree he has gone backwards since we first signed him but that could be for a number of reasons and not necessarily his fault. I think he's a clever, intelligent player who is a decent finisher (not great but ok) but lacks the pace, skill and strength to get any higher than this level.

Or the more likely scenario, Mason gets put through in the last minute but gets caught for pace and then out muscled by WhittsQuote:

Who ever sanctioned to pay us 3.5 for the slug aka slow joe aka mason will surely be sacked in 6 months time
w you can write off Mason I don't know, any striker playing for us would struggle as we don't create chances, and play dire direct football that players like Kenwyne thrive on, look at le Fondre, u can be as natural finisher as you want but if there's nothing to finish you will struggle !! Mason will do well for anyone who creates chances, he even did well for Bolton Wanderers!! We will rue this sale unfortunately!! This time reminds me of when we sold Earnie, Gabbidon etc, we are on the verge of freefall I an feel it!!
Le Fondre was crap.Quote:

Good business. His career never really took off at City and the fact that he has the build of a 12 year old works against him in 'high-octane' matches.
Still got a bad feeling it won't work out well for usQuote:

Average finisher, no pace, no strength and does not link up well. Mason was our frontline striker and had a half dozen goals. That's a poor return that is in line with his career average. Anything we make is good for us and bad for Wolves but I doubt we got £1m
