Incredible to think this kid played 25 games for us last season, what could have been if we had a decent striker available instead.

He just keeps moving around from club to club. He’s got a brilliant agent for a player so young.

Remember when he came in and played in that league cup game with Tottenham, thought we might be on to a winner, but it just never materialised and seems like he’s got attitude problems. Can see him being quite nomadic through his career.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Hopefully he bangs in a load of goals and we can recoup our fee for him in the summer

Looks a classic case of raw talent, but no application.

That’s what we can hope for.

Seems a strange move though. Would say the German second tier is much better standard than the French second tier.

Remember when Belgium randomly called him up to their senior side and actually gave him a cap

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Looks like it’s an option to buy as well.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Hope he finds his form (or discipline)...for obviously selfish ccfc reasons.

Strikes me as a player who wears his heart on his sleeve, is versed in the dark arts, has an untapped potential, but doesn’t have the apparent skill to operate at a higher level, as of yet.

Very likeable kid, and I hope this loan works out for him. 🩵

'Rewarding' him because he was not as good as the other u21 strikers.

Makes Dave Nugent's England cap look well deserved.

Looks like the club are sending him on serial loan deals till someone bites at a reasonable fee.
While this continues it won't be CCFC paying his salary.

 

[Domo]

i do hope he comes good and proves us wrong

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Seriously doubt he ever plays for us again.

 

[Samo]

I thought there was an obligation to buy at Reims?

He’s going to be dining out on that for years, duped a fair few of our fans for a start. He didn’t even touch the ball for Belgium, I believe.

I though he came across as a complete twat to be honest

 

[long way home]

Player who thought he made it before he arrived. Confidence is one thing, arrogance is another. Hope he grows up and wakes up to the reality that being talented is not enough and being arrogant is too much.

For the clubs sake hope he finds his feet and does well. I doubt very much we will see him while FL is at the club.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Some of the comments about him and his personality are disgusting in this thread.

All the best Norman.

Option

Defo a pattern emerging here. Always crazy to me when a player has so much talent that they would squander it like that.

 

[CovLis86]

Was exactly the sort of gamble we should be taking - they don't always make it and sadly not sure Bassette ever will to a top level. But for every few that don't work it's worth it when you find a gem.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Sliding doors moment... If he puts us 2 up when through on that 1 on 1 with a second against Pompey... does he kick on???

Probably not

 

[AOM]

Can't see Bassette ever playing for us again, especially under the current management.
Thought he had more about him and better potential than recent 'maybe' players like Fabio Tavares, but seems his career might be in danger of stalling if he can't settle at one club

That's never a genuine picture

Speaking of having trouble settling how is Binks doing?

One of their best players. Fans love him

Bassette has more pictures of holding a new club shirt than goals in his career…

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

tbh I’d completely forgotten he’d existed before this move cropped up the other day

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

That's never a genuine picture

Come on mate, he couldn’t be a complete twat…no one’s perfect.
