It’s surely complicated because Chelsea want something we have, namely Caicedo. If tough for Chelsea to progress those talks when they won’t answer the phone to our Colwill enquiries.
It’s complicated for Fab because mentioning this obvious point explicitly will upset Caicedo’s agents which he...
His showreel from Rangers days is impressive if you take them in the context of us looking for a back-up left back behind Estupiñán. NOT a Colwill replacement. Lots of powerful attacking flair and crossing to enjoy:
Estupinian player more matches than we liked last season, we’d have been in trouble on the left if he’d have picked up an injury. Bassey would get plenty of game time with us entering 3 cup competitions if he signed.
I looked at one of his showreels. I could not find any evidence that his passing is up to the high standard we need. Running into dead-ends and not passing at the correct time was however on show. I don’t think he has the vision or technique for Dezerbiball in an attacking sense.
Looks like we’ve been outbid which is a bit annoying but Ajax are flush with money after 3 big sales.
Perhaps the club might get back to Rangers and match the Ajax deal? Manure came in and nicked Malacia from Lille, it’s possible. In addition, Rangers love an ex-Brighton centre back, I’m sure...
Exactly. I think Potter is really keen on having a left footed LCB. This guy or Levi Colwill seem to be the targets. Burn played LB or LWB a number of times so Bassey’s versatility is a great fit.
It won’t be good news for Clarke if this guy is signed I suspect.
BBC reporting that we’re in talks with Rangers for Calvin Bassey, but Ajax are too. Surely he’d prefer the Premier League?

They probably won’t sell us Tag if we beat them to Bassey though!
Looking at his shots and assists stats, he is surely a replacement for Burn rather than Cucu.
We’d want someone a lot more attacking to replace our curly haired Spanish wing back god!
