I thought Bassong was excellent the season we first finished 4th, he grew and grew through the year and by the end I was thinking we may have found another King.

I dont really understand why he just got bombed out to be honest. Gallas did a fine job, I accept that, but it seemed unecessary to me...

outstanding that year. His performance against Chelsea when we beat them 2-1 is one of the best centre half performances of the year, actually felt like we had King at the back, never seen anyone have Drogba in his pocket so easily.

I also remember a game we played Liverpool and Bassong kept up with Torres like it was nothing.

He reminds me a lot of Bambi though, same lapses in concentration. Keep him switched on and he can be top drawer, but how do you do that?

dont know about that, all I can remember Bassong being is a liability at the back whenever he came on. Even on loan at Wolves he was shocking

What do you mean "even at wolves" as if it's a hard task playing badly as a cb in that shower of brick team.

Anyway i disagree with your opinion that Bassong was a liability for us whenever he came on. Actually if i'm being totally honest i think that opinion is rather weird to say the least.

Play him!?

It comes with age/games/experience doesnt it? In the season he played regularly I thought he improved immeasurably. I wonder what would have happened if he got another full season of regular games?

Gallas isn't definately leaving and even if he was we'd still not need 2 cb's.

Kaboul
new cb
Dawson
Caulker
King or Gallas (one will stay imo)

and Bassong hasn't even left yet although you'd assume he will soon.


Gk isn't essential either this season. 2 strikers and a CB is essential, a right winger/right sided forward is also something we should certainly be looking at too, and of course replacements for Modders and/or VDV if they leave.

I agree there are priorities.

I was responding to the suggestion that the squad was baically there and a couple of signing should have us challenging for the title, (as per Harry's ridiculous utterances)

Exactly!

At the end of the day people criticising Bassong are those basing in on one or two games he played poorly in. Yet people love Kaboul. Kaboul was everything people are now describing Bassong as. He was then played consistantly, obviously getting older now and we are seeing the best of Younes Kaboul.
 
After a season and a half without any sort of regular games, going into a rudderless team in free fall? Honestly I dont know - but Im guessing its a pretty meaningless point to raise.

How did he do at Spurs when we finished 4th for the first time in our history with a record breaking back 4?

He's brick.

That's why the likes of Wolves are interested and not anyone top half.

Yeah, I'm not sure mate. I'd be happy to see him given a run but concentration problems don't tend to go away from what I've seen. Like I say, Gardner could have been a good defender if not for those lapses and I reckon Bramble falls into that category as well.
