Would prefer to see Tom Eaves get a chance or Odelusi played up front. Why loan a striker when we already have 4 fighting over 1 position?

More money wasted. 6 goals in 29 starts is hardly setting the world alight, why bother?

Dougie should concentrate on the players he does have - here's a thought Dougie, why don't you and the coaches do your fucking jobs and try and improve the players you're already paying?

Good link up player and a tricky rascal. Depends on the role he's given. It won't be as a striker though - probably a wide man in the Feeney mould.

He looks like a winger to me.

Unlikely we'll get 2 more from Cardiff? If so does that mean the Gestede deal is off?
We already have McNaughton

Article says 10 other clubs are chasing Mason.

6 goals in 29 starts - No one scored many for Cardiff last year! In a defence minded team. Got a familiar ring to it?

OFFICIAL: Mason joins on loan

Bolton Wanderers have completed the loan signing of Joe Mason from Cardiff City.
The striker, who joined the Bluebirds in the summer of 2011, will remain with the club until January 5.

Having started out his career with his hometown club Plymouth Argyle, the 22-year-old went on to enjoy over a decade with the Pilgrims before making the move to the Welsh capital two years ago.

A player who has also represented the Republic of Ireland at both Under 19 and 21 level, the centre-forward played an integral part in Cardiff’s promotion campaign, scoring 12 goals in the process.

Won their young player of the season last year, can't say I know that much about him but after seeing Mcnaughton and Danns come in I look forward to seeing what the young lad has to offer.

So he signed for the Pilgrims when he was ten years old????  

Threlkeld has been with us since he was 8...

A decent player, and one who Burnley were after in the summer but Malky said he wasn't going to let anyone leave before the season started.

We would probably have been one of the clubs after him.

wanderlust Dougie has already stated he's NOT interested in Gestede. As to this guy, well, if he's as good as the article suggests and wants to link up with us for a while I'm all for it.

The only thing I can think of Peter is that they must have announced it too early on the official BWFC website as the link to the source has now gone, I have a feeling that it will possibly be back tomorrow.

Thanks bud, I don't get the BEN where I live and gave up reading the 'official' site closely after they printed Megson's 'no other manager could do the job I've done here football people know how good I am and we were below derby when I came in you know' junk for about the fiftieth time. I hope this guy is as good as Dougie seems to think he is and he doesn't turn out to be warming a bench at our expense.

No problem.

He will have the chance to play in 9 league games (I very much doubt he will feature in every game) for the Wanderers but I feel we should be trying to get some of our own strikers firing more.

If there's a view to a permanent deal in there then I think it's a decent move, otherwise I'd prefer us to be giving our own strikers a go. I suppose with C Davies struggling for fitness we've only got Beckford and N'gog, leaves us a little short.
