You think?

imo would be a good signing on a 1 year deal then see how he goes,but 3 years when he will be 31 when he gets here? will cert put bums on seats,and short term could be very very good,long term not so sure,

Putting it simply it boils down to this.

Pro's
Massive kudos for any club that signs him
If he gets his head right a massive capture/ meter maker/ forward for any SL club.
A possible big draw for extra pass sales.

Con's
Can be problems in the dressing room.
If his head is wrong a possible liability.

Looking at it from that point of view I find it hard to come down on any one side of the arguement.

He could be massive he could be a royal pain its 50/50 either way.

All I will say is that even been talked about in these terms thinking back just 5 years give me butterflies TBH.

So pretty flexible then (apologies to other posters for going off topic) I've been thinking of getting involved for a while now, might explore a bit further.

BTW, I know you've been looking for Social Work things for a bit (iirc) if you fancy moving away from Hull I know that Leeds is crying out for Social Workers in Children's.

I'm certain. No different to many superstitions practiced in sport, e.g. Liverpool players touching the 'This is Anfield' sign before running out, Paul Ince waiting till the tunnel before putting his shirt on, etc. Absolute nothing to do with wanting to get the biggest crowd reaction in the warm-up.

a bit like signing a 33 year old half back on a two year deal then, would you say?

Yeah definitely, they could help as much as possible (e.g. if something crops up and you need to swop shifts). Drop me a PM if you need any further info/help, I think they'll be taking on the next batch pretty soon (usually around Sept/Oct time).

Oh right, thanks mate. Was planning to saty in Hull ideally but will have a nosey on Leeds City Council's website, cheers.

On the proposed Mason signing it amuses me how much the knowalls above are aware of his contract offers, his monetary figures, his length of contract etc
(even if they disagree among themselves and raise his offers trying to outdo the other knowall etc ) when, unless they are party to the negotiating teams they know exactly naff all.

It's 50/50 split if Fielden and / or Thackery are signing for them but nearly 100% know the Mason saga

Masaon?

Who's this?

It is likely a typographical error. The title of the thread is 'Re: MASON THE BEST FORWARD ON THE PLANET!!', so I think it is safe to assume that it was intended to be 'Mason'. HTH.
