king canary 7,651 Posted July 30, 2014 All gone a bit quiet on him and unless I''ve missed something I''ve not seen any clubs linked with him. I get the feeling he will either be some lower prem teams deadline day panic signing or end up being loaned out to France or somewhere to get him off the wage bill.

Huh?! 0 Posted July 30, 2014 I''m sure clubs have made contact, but the board aren''t going to come out and say who. If a club offers the money that we are happy with them I am sure all parties will cooperate. He''s got no chance this season imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,651 Posted July 30, 2014 I just see it as a bit odd that he has not really turned up in gossip columns at all considering he is clearly not wanted here. You might expect the odd rumble that ''club x are considering a move for out of favour Bassong.'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted July 30, 2014 Bassong is not interesting enough for the journos to make up rumours about him. Agree that there will be some business going on behind the scenes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
# 0 Posted July 30, 2014 It does seem a bit strange all this, personally, I''d loves him/us to sort it all out and remain with us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted July 30, 2014 He''s a decent player and has proven he can hack the premiership. My Newcastle fan mates would love him back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 320 Posted July 30, 2014 Its difficult to believe any club would be interested in Bassong, we might be stuck with him on high wages for next 3 years. Another reason to thank Hughton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie Borkins 1 Posted July 30, 2014 He''s got "bottom 6 Premier League club" stamped all over him, hopefully QPR will take him to add to their mercenary XI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YellowNets1901 0 Posted July 31, 2014 I have a feeling Bassong will go abroad. Fer will end up at QPR or Southampton. Hopefully the latter ends up being a bit of a bidding war. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He''s been POTS at two different clubs in the Premier League and clubs have paid good money for him. He''s clearly shown he has plenty to offer. I know people say he''s got form for relegation but Norwich won''t have many players on the books who haven''t suffered at least one relegation. Moreover, at least Bassong has been in the Premier League to be relegated from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted July 31, 2014 Yes - Harry signed him at spurs - but also only played him 45 times in 2 and half seasons (he has 57 appearances for us) so that may temper his interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YellowNets1901 0 Posted July 31, 2014 Bassong is a lazy player and sounds a dopey t*at whenever he''s interviewed after a game. I remember after the West Ham away defeat, him saying ''I feel like I''m dreaming and I''m going to wake up on the pitch''. What a d1ck. Get him sold!

Grant Holts Moustache 105 Posted July 31, 2014 He''s not a bad player but doesn''t have the guts for the fight. I remember the I wish the season was over already comments . He was meant to be the captain and clearly his attitude was all wrong. Would rather keep Turner myself as you''ll not see him shy away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another reason to thank Hughton.[/quote]Really? Seems a bit harsh to say that you cannot believe any club would be interested in him. He''s by no means a bad defender and 12 months ago was our player of the year and new team captain. Surely he''s not got that bad over 12 months? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Jenkins 0 Posted July 31, 2014 Bad attitude I''m afraid, should never have been even considered as captain material, shame on you Hughton, no further use for the lad here, on yer bike! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
