He's quite clearly being frozen out. I'd imagine soon he will be training with the 18's if hes not gone. Lampard has got form of bomb squadding players.
2Can anyone link to where it was reported how much we spent on Bassette? Not doubting it, just can’t remember ever actually seeing it.
Yeah dont care, who is JD? and are Rangers really interested in BTA2
2 much
Doesn't help when the door is set on a spring to come and smack you in the face.What gets me with our strikers is the door is wide open to be the main man, but none of them wants to step through.
He’s one of the most overrated players to have played for us, which says a lot. The comparisons with Vik were always weird.
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
He looked very good in a couple of his early performances, but the prolonged run in the side he had either wasn't advisable based on where he is in his development, or found him out.He’s one of the most overrated players to have played for us, which says a lot.

There always seems to have to be a showbiz reason for a player being dropped.
It was like the "is Simms going because he didn't celebrate in a pre-season game?" question.
Feels like answering questions that have been raised from Facebook comments
Agreed. Bassette isn’t being frozen out. He’s just a long way down the queue. Again, a remarkably odd and unbalanced signing from the Robins era. Over £1m on a fourth choice CF when we had holes all over the defence.
It's not a massive fee for a development player. I'm sure they thought they could develop him into something more when he was signed. He's still only 19, so potential for a good career for him whether here or somewhere else.Agreed. Bassette isn’t being frozen out. He’s just a long way down the queue.

For me he needs to bulk up a bit (somewhat like Vik did) if he's going to be successful. His finishing also needs a lot of work. Wonder if he'll eventually become a winger.
Indeed, although there's a premium to pay on strikers, and none of those were 18 year olds either. Not saying he's been good value, just that there's logic if you believe there is development potential.The fee was £2.1m rising to £2.8m just to be clear. We paid less for: Collins, Dasilva, Thomas, Lats, Sheaf, Torp, Sakamoto
Tbf Robins saw Wright as a left sided player.It is a massive fee when you have three starters ahead of him if all are fit.
Was a little bit strange at the time, yes. Ideally if you'd wanted him as a development player when you play one up front you'd want him to be third choice (and have realistic opportunity to play).It is a massive fee when you have three starters ahead of him if all are fit.
I suppose it's an OK fee if you think you have someone who could be worth £10M in a couple of seasons. Unfortunately we have seen more enthusiasm than potential and both he and the club seem to be running out of patienceIt is a massive fee when you have three starters ahead of him if all are fit.
He's a couple of years younger than Obikwu and played at a higher level, to be fair.Yes, very possibly. But I still can’t believe there is a vast difference between Bassette and say, Obikwu? Plus if he saw Wright as his starter left side why not pay the £2m on a development left winger rather than 5m on EMC. For me the recruitment at that time was, at best, muddled.

Bassette started against Swansea in the league. I doubt he personally would have asked for him because that's mental, there's no way he'd have known about him, but he definitely had final say on pulling the trigger.I don’t think there’s any evidence Robins wanted him. It wasn’t until he’d gone that man whose name I’ve already forgotten started him regularly. He didn’t even make the bench in Robins final game.
He is 21 in November.It's not a massive fee for a development player. I'm sure they thought they could develop him into something more when he was signed. He's still only 19, so potential for a good career for him whether here or somewhere else.

Basette and Simms haven't played.What gets me with our strikers is the door is wide open to be the main man, but none of them wants to step through.
2 or 2.5 apparentlyCan anyone link to where it was reported how much we spent on Bassette? Not doubting it, just can’t remember ever actually seeing it.
When we were playing 3-4-1-2? I don't think so. Sakamoto was brought in as a RWB who can slot in at AM. Which is why after Sakamoto gets injured post-PNE, we play 3-4-1-2 again quite few times.Tbf Robins saw Wright as a left sided player.
My bad.He is 21 in November.
Would think more chance of Bassette. Simms not played a single minute since he hit 99 games.If Simms or Bassette don’t play tm then they defo out ….
Simms played most of pre season and Bassette didnt.Would think more chance of Bassette. Simms not played a single minute since he hit 99 games.
