Player Watch: Ryan Mason

[Strikeb4ck]

Anyone know what's happening with him?

Played very well throughout all of the US tour and I was expecting him to get some time in the season, thought Poch might have liked him. Is he injured, or are we looking to loan him or something?

His injured, if he had as much luck with injuries as he was talented he would be proberly starting games.

As of right now he's not being loaned out. Slight niggle but very much involved in MPs plans. Hopeful to play on Thursday.

Excellent, hope he does get his chance.

I have like this kid for a long time, he has always had great technical ability and superb vision. The only thing to have held him back was his size/build, if he was built like Rooney was at 16 he would have been a first team regular in my opinion.

If that's true can see a few midfielders on the way out.
Capoue benteleb dembele paulinho holtby mason sandro( if not sold) is too many

 

[Strikeb4ck]

It seems that with the arrival of Stambouli and the apparent exits of Holtby and Sandro (transfer window isn't done and none of these signings have been confirmed so this can change) that Mason is indeed in Poch's plans.

I'd say we are left with:

Capoue, Dembele, Bentaleb, Mason for the 2 CM spots.
Lamela, Eriksen, Chadli, Lennon, Townsend, Paulinho (who probably convinced Poch at AM in the second leg much more than at CM in the first leg) for the 3 AM spots.

Kane can fill in the AM 3 and Paulinho/Veljkovic can fill in at CM if necessary.

May be an outgoing/incoming in the attacking mids to come as well, but for now I have to say that signing a CM and letting 2 go would suggest Mason will play some games.

I was at the game in Chicago on the US tour, I was very impressed with Mason. I hope this injury is minor and he gets a chance to stay healthy and contribute this season.

The talent is obviously there if he could ever get a solid run of good health in.

Sandro is the same age, well close enough

I wondered that also..

 

[NEVILLEB]

I remember watching the Wilshere vs Bostock cup game a long time ago and coming away impressed with Townsend and Mason. I really hope the kid makes it because he's got the ability.

Most likely sausage fingers? Anyway, good to hear he is possibly in line for Thursday.

Thursday is gone mate

Maybe on the pitch against Forest or in the Europa League. Decent player, but has to stay fit finally

Not sure as what will happen but Veljkovic was exclusively a DM last season

 

[Kaboul'sForehead]

Very much hope Mason plays regularly for us and i'm chuffed he wasn't sold!

Very much hope Mason plays regularly for us and i'm chuffed he wasn't sold!

Wonder if he will go out on loan now, hope he doesnt tho, should take holtbys place in the squad.

Pritchard is the player I wish we kept around.
