The Winter Transfer Thread (And Summer Free Transfers)

[Parkins left foot]

We going to start a go fund me page to pay for his airfare?

No need - aren't they owned by Kroenke?

He can afford it

He doesn't pay.

Would be a really weird signing if it went through. Mason is way below the standard of MLS.

 

[Tredman]

Lol

 

[MARKakaJIM]

He's no BWP.

 

[Alan]

He's no BWP.

Indeed.

And yes, I know this is meant to be sarcastic, but at this point it's also true.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I reckon Sig would score goals in MLS and as crap as I think Mason is, he's a better player than that.

Kei Kamara scores goals in that league and he's a horrific footballer.

I'm not sure about this.
Sure the standard in the MLS is improving, and Mason plainly isn't very good, but he has been in the championship his whole career (minus maybe one season I think). It's a bit far to say that he's way below the standard.

 

[Alan]

Physical prowess is probably the most important part of forward play in MLS. That is why the likes of Kamara and Wright-Phillips have been successful despite relatively poor skill on the ball. Mason lacks the physicality needed and isn't that skillful.

He'll do as well as Doyle did for them, which is not at all.

It was poor phrasing on my part tbf. More accurate to say that he just doesn't have the skill set most successful strikers in the league have.

To be fair, despite him being somewhat a mainstay in championship teams. I'm still not entirely sure what Mason's (positive) skillset is!

Didn't say that he would pay - merely that he could afford it

New summer thread up right now.

Closing this one.
