Re: £15M Price Tag On Bassong
Could this create a negative effect on the player if he doesn't want to stay, yet nobody buys him as he may be over priced? If he stays, he must want to stay.
By the way, its good to be on the forum! I tried registering on the toontastic board but they kept denying my account, yet I am a huge Newcastle fan and always will be.

Re: £15M Price Tag On Bassong
I agree if he doesn't want to stay then he must be sold, but if we can get rid of the other rubbish and wage budget is down then we stand a good chance of getting the money as we won't need the money from selling him, so we can tell the other clubs what we want or we can tell them to do one

Re: £15M Price Tag On Bassong
Just look at Ronaldo.
It seems that at the end of every season he is being linked with a move away from United. Yet when it doesn't happen he still goes out and performs for the team. I dont think its a given that if a player says he want to leave the club must sell him.
Bassong is on next to nothing in terms of wages so we are under absolutely no pressure to sell him unlike player like Martins and Jonas.
Shearer is playing it smart and this seems like a win-win situation for us.
