Guest Heneage Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Wasn't he fined for refusing to travel to play in the friendly ? He was supposedly fined for not travelling. No idea whether or not he was going to play. What?! Refusing to travel is refusing to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea whether or not he was going to play. Doesn't matter in my eyes, equates to the same thing That's fair enough. Doesn't make it a fact that he's refusing to play for us though. Hughton said he wasn't going to play him anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 not happy with the fee, especially after the £10m bid had me dreaming of £12m+ figures. not happy with the club and manager he's signed for.....signing for spurs just makes him more dislikeable now not happy that its one of the players shearer wanted to keep, so how will he react to this? we could easily have haggled for more and turned it into a bidding war towards his market value, instead of caving in You shouldnt get too greedy.

Neil Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 IMO... Bassong is a decent enough defender, made a few mistakes but whether that was because of him or the shower of shite around him, I guess we'll not know. He's got above his station in some respects but I can't blame him one bit for wanting to get out. £8m even in today's market is a good selling price for someone like Bassong.

As part of the team, whether he starts, comes on as a sub, or is just part of the travelling squad, he was required to come to work and instead fucked off to the pub. If he was't a footballer, he would be close to the sack, not an £8 million move to Tottingham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Not particularly happy with £8m for Bassong. Thought we could get more. At least we won't have to care about when the 'African Cup of Nations' is on now with Bassong gone and Beye on his way (although that's probably the least of our worries).

There's the tendancy for managers to always seeming to say that about players that have gone walkabout though tbh.

Dave Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 confirms. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/8187526.stm Tottenham in talks over Bassong Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says the club are in talks with Newcastle about signing centre-back Sebastien Bassong. Redknapp is keen to bring in a defender with injury concerns over Michael Dawson and Jonathan Woodgate ahead of the start of the season. Bassong, 23, joined Newcastle from French club Metz in July 2008. He could not prevent the Magpies being relegated to the Championship in his first season, but emerged with some credit for his performances. More to follow.
