Zatman Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 38 minutes ago, The_Rev said: Absolutely. That's why this link is odd because on one hand it could be obvious bullshit (transfer silly season is well and truly upon us) and because lots of people saw Bassey have a good game and lots of people know Villa have a bit of money to spend and are prepared to move early then this is the perfect link to gain clicks, yet on the other if anybody knows Calvin Bassey then it's his former manager Steven Gerrard. If he doesn't rate Mings and wants to buy a left footed centre half who used to be a full back then, well, 2+2 I guess. He didn’t play centre back under Gerrard which makes it more confusing link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambers was good but still im not 100% convinced he can start week in and week out Links show we want to sign an experienced CB aswell this summer so can't see Bassey potentially starting over Tarkowski or someone with that profile from abroad. Will be interesting. I said a few weeks back I didn't want to touch defence too much...but then last 15 minutes v Man. City happen and that puts doubt in Gerrard's mind as to what they're all like backs to the wall v very good opposition so he probably wants to freshen things up and Konsa injury given him a bit more scope to do it.

CVByrne Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 He will play LB and LCB in games with us next season if he joins. He won't be starting ahead of Digne or Mings. He may cement a place in CB in time though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairdo Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Bassey in and Hause out I think. Agree with a previous post about breaking him in slowly a la Konsa. Could potentially displace Mings in a season or two. Mings would also be a great mentor for the lad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Strong and quick. Excellent. I thought in the final he got caught out a couple of times but his recovery pace was incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDVILLAIN Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Bassey would have to adapt to the premier league ,IMO he is not ready yet If you have ever watched him play for rangers he is a very "hands on" player and not in a good way. He gets away with holding, Barging and grabbing players shirts and a lot of shit-housery because VAR does not exist up north If he signed for us he would be sent off within 5 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Targett and young replacement to compete with Digne. Added bonus that he can cover CB or potentially start on left of back 3 if that were ever necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was moved to CB when Gio came in and has really excelled, still often covers at LB too. Strong, quick, technically decent, committed and extremely hard working. Bags more potential to fill, by far no means the finished article. Talk of the fee being higher than what Everton paid for Patterson, so would be close to the £20mill mark. Having watched him more than I have (I’ve only really watched Europa and Old Firm matches), do you think he is worth £20m? I think he is, but you would have a more informed opinion than I.

Umm, I would say yes based on the potential and when I compare with Patterson and Ajer who have left the Scottish league recently for similar amounts. Likely to be £15m with add ons, I'd imagine. He can be quite frantic and indecisive at times, rash in his decision making but that's due to his age and the fact it's his first season playing CB. Certainly would be a squad player and not a starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
