Think it's agent talk. Appears to have been offered to the entire league at this point.

To call someone who was elevated from the u21 squad as they had an important qualifier that clashes with the full international game, and then played as a last minute substitute in a defeat vs Isreal - and who never touched the ball, and has not been near a full or u21 squad since, a Belgian international is also quite a stretch.

Utter codswallop.

They had an injury, which meant he got a call up. You’re not calling up someone to national squad unless you think they have massive potential.

Also on the bench that day was Samuel Mbangula. Also eligible for the U21s, and also an attacker. Valued at 12million. Has only made 32 appearances for Juventus this season. And he still has 0 caps for Belgium.

The only incorrect thing I said was that Bassette hadn’t been picked for the Belgian U21s since. He has played twice since and even started and scored in their March game vs Andorra. Apologies for my sloppy error.

For the details of his full international debut though I was right. He was moved from the u21 bench in the first playoff leg vs Czechia to the full national bench for the dead rubber nations league game vs Isreal (played in Budapest because of the ongoing conflict in Gaza). You make it sound like he was the next cab off the rank and drafted into the full squad but there were attackers ahead of him in the u21 selection who stayed with the younger squad for their crucial play off second leg vs Czechia.

Mbangula, an out and out winger, was already with the full squad for the game against Italy. Against Isreal he was the only outfield Belgian player not to get onto the pitch. From what I can work out from his stats he’s had a decent season at Juventus but I really doubt anyone is buying him for £12m.

Bassette came on in the fourth minute of injury time vs Isreal and didn’t touch the ball. He went back to the u21 bench for the second leg vs Czechia and hasn’t been selected for the full squad since.

So he's a full International with 1 Cap. That can't be denied its a fact.

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

Simms was clearly ahead of Bassette in the second half of the season.

Jay Bothroyd was far better than Bassette. He scored 14 goals at Premier League level for us, for starters. He wasted the talent he had with a bad attitude, but he was talented without a doubt.

He scored a couple of decent goals but overall he was just frustrating to watch. Not sure what the relevance is mind you, we had a Haji Wright argument on this thread, now we're having a Bassette one. I'd suggest we need a signing quickly before we head into total headloss territory.

It can still descend into a Rafa argument, give it time.

Yes a brain fart moment. I stand by the rest of the post though. If you combined Bothroyd’s ability with Bassette’s enthusiasm, you would probably have a star player.

Back to the rumours... Whilst it looks like he's been pimped out to most of the division, Antman fills our need of another right winger.

21 goal contributions in 32 games in Eredivisie last season is pretty exciting

Just for laughs. Not convinced he will go anywhere though, but that is just a hunch.

Yeah pretty surprised his agent seems to be targeting a Championship move. With those figures in the Dutch league I'd have thought he might aim higher? Maybe this league is seen as a really good stepping stone now

Heard he knocked king over rushing out of the room and then dropped the pen. Good news is that there was no damage after he punched the floor of the boardroom repeatedly though

According to Sky Sports, Angel Brau is all but announced, which we kind of knew already but I’m guessing if it’s now on sky sports it won’t be long until it’s officially announce.
