Had another chance to run with the ball with passing options. Sort of got stuck between his feet and he stumbled over the top of it and lost possession.

I think those two incidents were his total contribution.

Didn't he go in for the challenge where Tatsu shot straight at the goalie?

To be fair we scored a few goals last year where he just randomly did that.

I think emc got one where bassette was just playing twister with the defender.

As does Ellis Simms. Rudoni got a few goals that way.

I'm sure there's potential. His attitude is part of his strength and he'll lose the rough edges with time. Absolutely he needs to play somewhere but we'd be daft to sell him now, unless we get top money.

I think it was after the Stoke game at home that it showed Robins hugging him & looking like he was saying 'keep your head up' kinda thing & Bassette nodding but looking dejected

Beat me to it…

I remember thinking this was quite telling at the time; looked like Bassette was moaning to Robins about lack of opportunity since he left, and MR was telling him to keep going / work hard(er) etc.

It also wasn't like he didn't get an opportunity. Didn't he start the first 4/5 games under Lampard.

Norm will be gone by the close of this window. He is not listening or bothered by not being in the squad. If he was he would be busting a bollock in training to get in.

He will not be missed if he genuinely is not pulling his weight.

Exclusive: Sky Sports pundit thinks Coventry City star "could be another Gyokeres"

Sky Sports pundit Lee Hendrie says that a loan move is what's best for Norman Bassette, drawing comparisons with ex-Coventry forward Viktor Gyökeres.

I’m sorry, talk all you like about how much potential he has etc, but if he really is 5th choice striker behind Justin Obikwu then that’s absolutely shocking for a player who cost us £2.5 million.

Belgium cap went to his head.

Went to a few heads on here as well.

Obvious potential but if he can’t be arsed to work hard for a place in the team then good riddance. We don’t know the full story but it says a lot when you can’t make the squad for a friendly.

They just seem unable to grasp the concept of a player being dropped. Coming up with conspiracy theories about Sheaf and Bassette because they weren’t in the team/squad

Hmm shit questions don’t really know how he can answer it. It’s obvious he’s in the process of a move. Really strange signing and said it at the time. We had 4 strikers for one position, was never going to keep all of them happy.

Bassette was just a bad signing. A player with limited talent and an ego the size of Neptune isn’t a great combination

He has potential, but attitude seems an issue which will ultimately lead to him failing to fulfil his potential. Long way of saying, yes, bad signing.

I don’t even see a lot of potential - some pace but that’s it.

He was making a general point about squads, and that he had to leave out Obikwu and Andrews too. When he was asked about Bassettes attitude, he rowed well back on that.

He's got a point I guess. Who are you having Bassette above on the bench? You're not having him on there with Simms and Wright.

I don’t think that much to Bassette but I would start him in front of Hulls best defender BTA

Asked if Bassette is injured, City’s head coach simply answered: “No.”

As for whether last summer’s signing from French club Caen could be on his way out of the club on loan or otherwise, Lampard admitted: “I don’t know.”

Can anyone link to where it was reported how much we spent on Bassette? Not doubting it, just can’t remember ever actually seeing it.
