greydos Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 His positional sense was what impressed me. That and his recovery ability. He doesn't seem the most dominant coming onto the ball heading at the moment, and he's not dynamite with the ball at his feet. But his open play positioning is already better than Tayls and Faye i would say. After a couple of pre-season games? Yes that's my impression after a couple of games. If he does even better i'll revise my opinion. If he does worse i'll do likewise. What, i'm not allowed to draw comparisons until he's played 50 games for us or something am i?

Cajun Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Reminds me of a better version of Maldini, especially as he can also play left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 looks quality this lad, if 2 games are anything to go on. younger than N'zgobia and looks very assured, hopefully he'll succeed where Taylor seems to be failing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 He looked quick off the mark and quick on the turn. There was a few times when someone tried to knock the ball past him and he just eased himself between man and ball without any trouble. Taylor may be stronger but he turns like an oil tanker. Bassong will be able to mark his man more tightly. So yeah, he looked very promising. It just remains to be seen how he'll do against the more physical strikers in the Premiership.

James Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Don't know if this means it is 100% done, but Bassong is listed in the squad profiles, with allocated number 46. Jonas has 18, Guthrie has 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Looked very composed and calm imo. Early to say much more but shows potential so far. Looked pretty mature in his play despite his age, didn't fly around all the pitch tackling when not needed... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sahara Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Looks like Bassong has been given the number 5. My friend got his autograph at the weekend and he signed it with a number 5 after his name. Unless of course he just likes that number lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobby_solano Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 i don't blame him like, if i had a choice of a number i would def want one under #20, makes you feel more important lol. 46 = a bit like living out in the sticks hehehe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sahara Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 here is a scan of it http://christine.photoblog.org.uk/p52668877.html it does look like a 5 as it is separate from the signature. I guess we'll soon know for sure though!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Maybe it's actually an S? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sahara Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 it could be an S but it looks to me to be separate from the autograph itself. Hmmm... well as I say we'll soon find out as the squad numbers are due to be official very soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hmm, i wonder what the S could stand for. Maybe it means "signing", maybe he was giving us a hint that a new signing is imminent!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hmm, i wonder what the S could stand for. Maybe it means "signing", maybe he was giving us a hint that a new signing is imminent!! Are you suggesting that Bassong perhaps is ITK? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
