Transfer Rumour Bassette to Kaiserslautern (1 Viewer)

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Yeah. But transfer market includes all kinds of crap. Best probably to look at league only

PL: 297m (just under 1 in 3 - played just over 1k minutes)
Champ: 201m (just under 1 in 2 - played over 7k minutes)

For all their other faults Haji and Ellis have outstanding scoring records.

Even BTA, in the massive thread over the summer when people were crying about needing a striker, we had 3 good scorers on the books.

Haji is a streaky goalscorer so I could see the logic in Lampard putting him back in. I genuinely think when Haji scores, he’ll go on a 3-4 game run of scoring.

The only real surprise to me this season is BTA because he should smash his record at this level and his underlying numbers are much better than last season already. Frankly, never felt it was BTA to be a real top striker in the league to be honest. My only concern is that he may not return the same player.

Hi everyone,

1. FC Kaiserslautern fan here.

I came across your board because of the Bassette loan that was announced yesterday.

I've read a lot of opinions and reports about him, especially regarding his "healthy self-confidence."

What I'm finding a bit lacking, however, is an assessment of his actual playing style. What kind of striker is he?

Our current tactic consists of high pressing and winning the ball back in the opponent's half with quick shots on goal. Is that a style of play that could suit Bassette?

I've read some opinions here that his "first touch" is supposedly poor. Does he have technical skills and does he master deep runs with a good basic speed? What about his football intelligence, especially in the box?

Points like his aggression and mentality (I saw the video where he provoked a red card for the opponent) could be a very good fit for our club, that's a Playstyle what we're usually known for.

I’m very curious to hear your thoughts. Wishing you all the best for the rest of the season.

How much money have FC Kaiserslautern got to spend - we are preparing to take loss , but 2 Million Euros would be acceptable.

I believe, this area shouldn't be unrealistic. We invested €1.8 million in our record signing this season (Naatan Skyttä).

But one thing at a time, he hasn't even played a single minute yet.

Bassette will get number #17 in our team.

Thank you for all your posts, it's very interesting that opinions differ so much (that's no different in our boards).

Like i said, the "shit house mentability" of Bassette could be a great fit and is normally highly valued by our fans. We love to see such Players in our club, but hate them when they're playing somewhere else.

I'm really curious to see what he can bring to our football and how he integrates here.

Unfortunately, over the last two or three transfer windows, our club has become somewhat of a complacency zone. There are several players who are simply waiting till their time/contracts runs out - especially on the bench.

But i don't think that Bassette will also take such an role, therefore he is to young and (hopefully) too ambitious.

If you like, I can give you an update on his performance every now and then - I mean, at the end of the day, he's still your player, right?

Hallo Freund.

Bassette, I think the fame got to his head, got a bit too cocky.

I don't know what level of football you have in your League but I hope he does well for you and for him.
