Bassong Signs £8M Spurs Deal


By Tyne-Talk
August 7 2009

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signing of Sebastien Bassong from Newcastle United for an £8million fee. The 23 year old who refused to travel with Newcastle last weekend to their pre-season game against Dundee United, has now passed a medical and agreed personal terms with Spurs. Bassong made his intention to leave Newcastle clear at the beginning of the summer break and has continued to show a lack of interest throughout the summer, resulting in being fined two weeks wages by the club, just last week. Despite the move back into the Premiership the Frenchman will not feature in the first 2 games of the season after picking up a red card against Fulham at the end of last season.

He was the best player in an otherwise s.hit team.

He has been relegated two years in a row.

Yes, another frenchman with an attitude problem.

One season wonder? maybe!

Bought for 500K and sold for 8-12m... not bad business for us.

We rejected a £10m bid, and then accept an £8m? Man, we are the dumbest @#$%& club in the world...

supposedly that 10m bid never happened.. I think they were trying to force other teams to actually make a bid.

8m to 12m for Bassong = good business for us.

BUT WE NEED REPLACEMENTS!!!!!

It is only good business if we spend some money on players, as unlike the rest he was on small wages. But he wanted to go so f@ck him, now he can't unsettle the others

Heard today that it was 8 mill up front increasing to 12 on appearances.

If thats true 11.5 mill profit is great going after being relegated.

If that is true then that is great business, even at 8 million that was good.
