Been told Scott Carson is coming in to be our 4th choice goalie.

You can see Bassette has the attributes to become a great player.

Plays with aggression which is something that certain modern strikers lack, and has such a good work rate when pressing. Improve his finishing and ball control and there's no doubt he will be a prem player in a few years time, and hopefully be with us up there!

I'd say he looks a little like Vardy when he was first developing, but I'll leave that to the experts..

I hope you’re right.
I can’t see it myself - his movement into space seems to be in urgent need of development and he was offside far, far too many times in the games he played last season.

I’m not saying he’s a Belgian Andy Morrell but as a fan base we are often impressed with players who run around a lot and can be seen to put in the effort.

Like I say, I really hope you’re right.

Based on his comments Grimes seems absolutely a player Lampard wanted (which went against our transfer policy).

Wouldn't be shocked to hear Lampard pulled rank for him

It doesn't take a lot to work out Grimes was a Lampard signing. We were all about signing younger players who we could make money on. Lampard came in then we spent a few million on Grimes where we most probably won't get a penny back as he was nearly 30.

I wouldn't call it pulling rank. The negotiations took a fair bit of time yet Joe Edwards said in his video that Lampard had several offers yet when we came along they knew we were one of the top Championship sides with very good players. So why did the negotiations take so long?

I'd be very surprised if Lampard didn't have at least a big say on who comes in and who goes out. We don't have anyone with anywhere near the experience of Lampard and Edwards.
