My view is that the longer it takes the more I feel that we’re negotiating with Joe and his agent. No source, just my gut feeling..

If MK are willing to pay 6k a week then we’re going to struggle.
My guess is we could get to just over half of that figure and we’ve gone in lower, hence the probable delay with us negotiating. Only a hunch but I’d like to think we are Joes preferred club but naturally his agent is trying to get the best deal for him.
Like someone else has said, no news is good news right now. If it was dead in the water we would have heard that by now.

Joe's agent is probably trying to get the best deal for himself....just plain bloodsuckers....sifting away money from the game.
Absolutely absurd that a league two team would pay £6k a week for a player. Would Tisdale offer that much for a player?
I'd hazard that we could probably offer him in the region of £2-3k a week.

It’s surely unsustainable for a club that averages 7k a week?
I would think we’ve probably gone in around that figure with slight room for negotiations based on performance related bonus’s and length of contract.
To be honest, these figures being thrown about have been pulled straight out of someone’s rear hoop and now are apparently fact. As tugboat said above surely unsustainable for mk dons, just can’t see them offering that amount of money. I certainly hope argyle are not offering anything near 6-7k it’s ridiculous, would prefer to save that budget in retaining Carey and lamires.
MK Dons have Kieran Agard and I imagine he will be on similar money to what Joe Mason has reportedly been offered.

I guess it comes down to if he does actually want to play for Argyle / live in Plymouth again at this point in his career. In 8 years time, he will be retired and able to live here if he so wishes.
Using Knibbs wages above as a gauge, if MK Dons offer 2k per week more than us - after tax Joe would be looking at a take home uplift of 1k? 50k per year or 75k over the 18month contract supposedly offered. Not massive really for someone who isn't short of a bob or two (based on Colorado salary if correct). I don't think a 1-2k per week salary variance for someone who has earned what Joe has would be a deal breaker. If we are talking 10k vs 2k then fair enough.

Doesn't bother me at all, were safe and gonna finish mid table, he`s had no game time, and the squad is doing just fine, rather we saved the money to keep the quality and backbone to the side we have , and add next season..

safe - a few points clear of bottom 4 ?
As well as we are playing at present, that is due to Adams at last finding something near his best team and having those players available. A few key players out with injury or suspension and we could slip back down again.

I take it you are joking ? Only 4 points off a relegation place.
Far from being safe.
Precarious would be a better description. Lose the next game and the table will look a lot different.
The fact it hasn't been publicly dismissed yet may mean we're in the process of thrashing out a deal with him - hopefully!
