���� what ya got then cowfold?

NEVER NEVER NEVER thought we would be big spenders.

but even signing bassey only takes our summer spend to roughly 35 million, that's really not a lot. not me being ungrateful btw, as it's all about how you spend that money, but in premium league terms that really isn't much.

Rangers losing both him and Aribo in short succession is going to be a kick in the teeth for them. Looks like Connor is going have to do another season of St Johnstone, Livingston, St Mirren, Killie, Ross County.

I believe you may have been whooshed.

And most people overlooked the OP getting the gag in first. Very little love for it compared to subsequently posted versions on the thread.

 

[The Fits]

This would be an amazing signing. LCB, LB, great engine, great age. Yes please.

I've watched Bassey quite a bit and he's decent but not better than what we've got.
.

Yet………it’s as much about potential as actual ability with most of our recruitment.

You? You who have nothing?

One of my friends at work is a Rangers fan and really praises this dude and think he would be a good pickup for work. This dude at work also likes eating bologna sandwiches with thousand island dressing instead of mayo so just take his thoughts for what you will

I wasn't aware that Rangers fans had thoughts...I thought that their default setting was to shout "SURRENDER OR YOU'LL DIE" the second they see anything green...

BBC reporting that we’re in talks with Rangers for Calvin Bassey, but Ajax are too. Surely he’d prefer the Premier League?

They probably won’t sell us Tag if we beat them to Bassey though!

Can play left back or centre back. Maybe not a Cucurella replacement but rather someone that could cover for him and also fill our need for a left sided centre back.

 

[American Seagle]

Seems like a Dan Burn replacement?

 

[CheeseRolls]

Looked quality in Rangers' Europa League run, but didn't strike me as a LB (despite being left footed) - more of a CB based on his style and physical stature.

I am quite upbeat on this rumour. It just sounds like such a Potter signing. Understudy to Cucurella would be one of many different roles he could fulfil. G Potts does love a tactical switch though. Go three at the back and push Cucurella further forward, change to five at the back, or play as a left footed centre back. Plenty of opportunities to keep the opposition guessing. He may not be ideal as an out and out left back, but we have plenty of options for players who could play in front of him and give him some support.

Exactly. I think Potter is really keen on having a left footed LCB. This guy or Levi Colwill seem to be the targets. Burn played LB or LWB a number of times so Bassey’s versatility is a great fit.

It won’t be good news for Clarke if this guy is signed I suspect.

 

[Napper]

Means little but spoke to a big rangers fan today who really rates Bassey and thinks he would have no problem stepping up to the premier league .

Sounds pacey and good at one on ones

Can play couple of positions , young so will improve . A very us signing .

I like it . Hoping this one happens

Has the potential to give us more prem quality who can step in and do a good job depending on the tactics .

Could be an improvement on burns role as hard as that seems

My mate who is a Celtic fan says he's shithouse.

 

[Weststander]

I watched Rangers EL games, Calvin Bassey is quality.

 

[B-right-on]

Not having watched Rangers, I'll deKlien to comment, though sounds like he'll do a good job in defence and Harris any forwards.




(Well can't be all Bassey puns, Shirley).

Don't know if anyone else takes what Whoscored says with any faith, but overall I like how they do things. Some good stats there on him. Only 22 years old also so still room to grow. Get him in.
