Depends what the conditions of the option are.

This is why we shouldn’t worry about Rudoni. We’re asking silly money for Bassette - I’m assuming this is the case for Rudoni

Id personally go with a straight loan if we can get away with it ..
20 years old , lots of exciting attributes and the potential to turn into a good forward
Belgium national team clearly see him as a prospect too
I’m surprised you’ve seen £500k worth of potential in him.
I mostly see him offside!
He was mostly dreadful in those minutes, let’s be honest.
I’m not saying he won’t improve, he might. But I barely see the evidence of a £500k player in waiting atm, let alone a £2.5 million one.

You are giving a player on average a few minutes to show what he can do , its hard
Hes got alot of good attributes , playing off the shoulder will definitely be a strength of his but will ofcourse see him offside more .
The fact we haven't played him constantly in the u23s pisses me off too when hes not getting 1st team minutes

He is fairly quick but I don’t see many attributes outside of that

I also think hes the type of forward that you can play across the entire front line if needed .. always seemed to work hard whenever he played despite lampard indirectly suggesting hes lazy in training

Like his predecessor FL is a 'my way or the highway' type of manager. Great to work with if you buy in to what he wants, but you'll be persona non grata very quickly if you don't.
It wouldn't shock me if Bassette worked better under a different manager and we'd be very silly to just gift him away on the assumption that he won't.

This is what I meant in post 72 of this thread. Some players have benefitted massively one way or another since FL became manager and some haven't. One poster suggested I was blaming the manager, it's not as simple as that but you have to ask whether under different circumstances, and/or a different approach, some of our other players could have benefitted more.

Bassette won't be a top level footballer, he isn't good enough and I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise. This is not even taking into account his seemingly immature and bad attitude.

This is absolute drivel
Squad full of "deadwood"... that finished 5th last season.
Added two quality players for the level in KKH and Rushworth. Brau on a free which is very low risk and great business if it comes off. Clearly in the market for a top CB too.
Would you rather he bent over and sold MVE for £7m when he's clearly worth more?

Yeah probably when he leaves us

In which case, what a great signing he's been! Played Dougie lad.

How much did we pay for him again?

About £2m.

Kinda tempted to take this bet tbh. The longer he doesn’t play the worse value he’ll get due to the reputation he’ll gather for the reasons he’s not in the squad

If he goes on loan to a decent standard of football his value will shoot back up if he does well, Man City and Chelsea been playing this game for years.

Should be a straight loan with a option of 1st refusal to buy at the market value come summer. Or is Doug trying to do a Sancho sort of deal Utd and Chelsea had.

That’s the thing though, it’s a lot of ifs atm for a player who seems to be below Obikwu on the bench.
He has the ability but needs a move fast imo

You think he is fucking up the transfer window - fine. But the reality is you have no idea of what the landscape of our transfer window has been. No idea of what enquiries we have done or what deals we have tried to make.
It is all about your expectation verses what has happened so far. None of us have a clue what Frank thinks about players or who he may or not wish to bring in.
You say Kings 'stupidty' but he has driven some good deals so far.
Of course on here as posters we all have options and at times strong opinions. But let's be honest non of our opinions never get tested as they remain in the realms of fantasy or hypothesis's.

It doesn’t matter about any of that. They are all things someone can fuck up: they can go after the wrong targets, they can negotiate too slowly and not give themselves other options to move to, they can not do any scouting. The long and the short is Austin and Kings job is to ensure the squad is closer to their goal of promotion. The rest is just excuses. We could have accepted bids for BTA, Simms, MvE, etc if funds or wage bills are tight. We could not have offered Wilson Eccles Allen and Bidwell extended contracts if we had no wage budget. We could not have spunked £2m on a terrible striker who has fallen out with every manager he’s had then we could have got rid once he fell out with another two of our managers, but each time King makes decisions consistent with someone who sold a couple of generational players at the start and then lost a valuable player on a free. He’s refusing to let contracts run down for deadwood, won’t get people off the wage bill unless he makes a profit, and demanding the clearly inadequate players he’s provided are good enough because we’ve run out of wage bill before we’ve built a squad that’s promotion competitive.
We’re two games into a new managers first season proper as a promotion contender and we’re talking about repurposing our past it LB as a CB and blooding kids because they looked ok against Luton reserves. This summer has been a disaster in terms of squad building and even if he does pull his finger out now we’ll be paying through the nose and any signings will have missed pre season (though as that seemingly consisted entirely of “lump aimless crosses to no one all game” maybe that’s not the worst thing)

Let's face it, all of that is based on not much. It's the same as the "he won't allow loans".
