The majority of our fan base wanted Jake Bidwell as player of the season and we’re desperate for us to sign Matty James.

If he goes it’s a short term business decision because we haven’t moved Simms on.

You can’t have Simms as 3rd choice striker, it’s collapsing the value of an acquisition. So it forces you to move the Belgian who’ll need minutes, even though Lampard would probably have him ahead of Simms.

But to call a Belgian international, way off, is simply wrong

That’s the point.

I’m not particularly interested in a majority view.

Robins would still be in charge. Haji Wright would be hung, drawn and quartered, and Liam Kitching would be captain of England because he likes a bit of boxing and flies into a reckless challenge once a fortnight

Not particularly no. Low end champ centre back, whose lack of pace and mentality will mean he’s unlikely to improve.

Better on the ball than we give him credit for though.

Bassette is a top talent and young. If he doesn’t prove himself in pre season then a loan move back to top flight Belgium league with a big club like Anderlecht or Standard would be be a clever move.
Kid is on the radar of a lot of clubs. Just need to manage his development

Bassette is perfect for us next season. A good striker but not one who is expecting to start every week. For me we need to move Simms on. Retain BTA and Bassette and sign a good footballing CF. Bassette is a huge talent. But he’s still a rough diamond. But in 1-2 years he’ll be top notch.

That’s excellent and what you’d expect from every player. But he can expect whatever he likes, it’s not his choice.

He needs to go somewhere and play, I'd much rather he stays in England personally. Maybe top end League 1. I think it's time we try and pull the trick of demanding game time as part of any loan deal

He goes to Standard Leige and scores 15 goals, he’s worth 10million.

He goes to Leyton Orient and scores 15 goals, his value barely changes

Agreed, so many of our loans end up on a bench in Scotland. That's not good for anyone, even outside of football

If he scores 15 for Barcelona he’d be worth 100mil, maybe we should send him there instead?

A Belgian international striker isn’t going to L1. I see a host of German and Dutch clubs are tracking him as well.

The comparisons to Tavares by some has always been ridiculous to me, as shown by the clubs that would be interested were he to become available. A decent loan would do him and us good i think but we need to get ourselves sorted up front first of course and not leave ourselves short.

Kitching was quality against Luton away and both Sunderland legs (apart from very last split-second when Ballard fluked that one in off his backside)

kitch is limited and we can also see it.

turning ability poor, pace lacking, liable to get sucked into a red card, and switched off completely to give Ballard a free header.

a good honest championship defender but no more than that.

He's been quality since he got back into the team. No coincidence that our run saw Thomas & Kitching as the CBs. He's no slower than Harry McGuire, and he's got that nastiness we don't possess anywhere else in the team.

OK. In the interests of being clear to the point of needless precision. I imagine Bassette’s mindset as a young, unproven striker is that he believes in his own, self confident way, that he should be starting every week and is bullish enough to shout the odds about it. However, in a realistic corner of his mind he also realises that he’s not quite there yet and so, whilst not being ecstatic about it, acknowledges that’s where he is.

He's 20 tbf, i feel like a small handful of players that show ridiculous levels from a very young age have completely ruined peoples expectations of where young players should be. Personally i am still hopeful Obikwu might have a bit of something and he's 21! I think more is expected of Bassette because we paid a fee for him, which i get, but we still have to be realistic.

To be clear, I agree with you. Though I do think he’s the type to make a lot of noise to make up for the awareness he’s not there yet.
