Webbo118 0 Posted December 4, 2012 Great stuff. A team with a player earning £50K per day knocked out by the giants that are Cape Verde. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnakepitCanary 0 Posted December 4, 2012 Christ, just looking at that bbc article. Apparently, Bassong joined us on a free transfer. You''d of thought they would be more clued up about these things. I suppose that an institution that employs Mark Lawrenson are always going to make these types of mistakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted December 4, 2012 I thought that Newcastle would struggle without Cisse and Ba until I found out yesterday that Senegal also failed to qualify. That could explain why Pardew withheld Cisse from a qualification match...... [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hog 0 Posted December 5, 2012 As a Free Transfer it would also explain why we are able to perhaps push the boat out on his wages, for me he is easily a potential 10 Million player. What a steal on a free! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,501 Posted December 5, 2012 Bassong wasn''t a free transfer, I think undisclosed has been confused with free - it is another sign that cuts in the BBC Sports department have really hit the quality of some of thier output. They strangely claimed Garrido was in Spain''s Olympic Squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,181 Posted December 5, 2012 He cost us 5 million quid according to 5live the other day. Does that sound right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
