Joe Mason Rejects Plymouth

WestStandNeilWestStandNeil
in Other Football and Sports

Forward Joe Mason will not be rejoining former club Plymouth Argyle.

The 27-year-old free agent, who started his career at the Pilgrims, was offered a contractlast week.

But the former Cardiff City player, who was released by Wolves last month, has turned down Argyle's approach.

"He has offers from other clubs in our division and the division below. We put an offer to him, but it's not going to happen for us," manager Derek Adams told BBC Radio Devon.

"I spoke to the agent and he has better offers in other places."

Adams is still looking for another forward after Joel Grant was ruled out for much of the rest of the season after needing surgery on a shoulder injury.

"We are looking for somebody to give us added depth in that area, we're probably one player short at this moment in time," the Scot said.

"We didn't think he (Grant) would be out towards the end of the season, we thought his injury would have healed, but he's had to go for an operation now."

    Madness that we cant offer this guy a contract until the end of the season.

    Maybe Murray will save the day and pay him 3 months wages to get us promoted and win back the fans.

    Where's the card fund when you need it?! If 500 of us put in £25 a month until May we'd be able to pay him circa £3000 a week.

    Charlton Life's first signing!

    I remember him looking decent at Cardiff. But when you look at the last couple years, he only played once for Pompey on loan the first half of the season (I know he would have had Hawkins and Pitman in front of him in a team that plays one up front), and he got three goals in 14 games for the Colorado Rapids of MLS last season. Before that, he played four times for Burton during the first half of the '17-18 season. 

    I'm only looking at the numbers, I don't have all the context, but it does make me wonder if there's something that has gone off with him. Don't get me wrong, he's still better than nothing, but I just wonder what has happened the last couple seasons.

    It’s really not impossible to think we could get 100 people to pay £25 a month and offer him £2500/mo

    It would also generate more publicity re: Roland and why he needs to go 

    I can see arguments against, though- Us paying could be argued to be subsidising Roland’s foolishness

    Great idea the fans to start paying for players but Roland would soon get ideas in his head that he wouldn't need to finance any more signings because the fans could pay for them all.

    Oops.... got on that a bit early in the morning and confused monthly rate and weekly rate. Still, principal remains the same

    His recent record concerns me, especially as he's never been a  prolific scorer anyway

    have no idea whether joe mason is any good or not but if bowyer thinks he would be a good addition, thats good enough for me - i think it would be a great idea to try and raise the funds to pay his wages til the end of the season - a bit like the ronnie moore in the early eighties. Maybe we raise half and somebody like RM puts the other half in

    Difference is back then,we didn't have a pot to piss in. We have a very wealthy owner who could maybe be proper embarrassed if word of us even thinking about  this got into the Belgian press.

    Roland wouldn't be at all embarrassed, he would probably find it funny.
