Re: Sebastien Bassong.
He's 6'2" and he's 22 and french. Something for Wenger und something for us.

Re: Sebastien Bassong.
If Vermaelen can provide organisation and leadership, Bassong might be worth looking at. Still not overly keen on him though.

Re: Sebastien Bassong.
Or to be more accurate (and damning), a frequent figure in one of the most inept defensive units I've ever seen. I'm wary of him, to say the least.James said:

Re: Sebastien Bassong.
Bassong? No he really is quite good, maybe not Ricky good, but good. Don't let the fact that Newcastle became a dysfunctional team worry you overly about his ability.
At a guess, I probably saw him 20-25 times this past season and just as often as not he stood out for all the right reasons.

Re: Sebastien Bassong.
IMO the Vermaelen signing (if true) precludes us from obtaining any more CB types with potential = we already have Djourou & Senderos & then there's still Silvestre as 'experienced cover'.
As it stands we have 6 CBs with VT - the only way I can see us signing another CB is if VT is destined for a DM role OR we are going to lighten the load by selling a couple of CBs. Even then I'd be leaning more towards a Hangeland/Lescott than a Bassong/Richards/Zapater.

Re: Sebastien Bassong.
I think the thing we've needed is the sort of defender who can put his hand up, and play a steadying roll in commanding a defence that is not really sure what it's supposed to be doing.
Not that I think our defence was a bad as Newcastle's, and whilst I appreciate that it's probably a bit much to expect from him at this stage in his career to do that job at Newcastle, but Bassong has not looked like that player this season. Maybe it's to do with the quality of their defence overall, but he just has not looked like the player we need to me.
That said, now that we've got Vermaelen, who may fill those needs, it might be worth looking at someone like Bassong now...

Re: Sebastien Bassong.
sometimes you got to mix it up...
Seriously though, coloccini was the biggest problem in their defense this season, you could put him into the middle of the best defense in the league and they would ship quite a few more goals. he was utterly clueless

I doubt we're one of the clubs. Sp*rs have been linked with Bassong pretty heavily.

Re: Sebastien Bassong.
Do Sp**s pay any actual scouts? Seems to me they just check Goal.com to see who we're linked with.
Bassong is out the window now seeing as Vermaelen is as good as done.

Re: Sebastien Bassong.
Not necessarily. Between most likely losing Senderos and maybe one of Toure/Gallas, Silvestre not being good enough, and Toure/Song leaving for two months next year, we could definitely do with another defensive signing. Maybe Wenger was faced with two options: Hangeland for 15m, or Vermaelen for 10m and another younger one for squad depth for 5m. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case, as Sakho also seems to be in the same sense as Bassong. I know that people will say that Wenger would never do that, but I think this summer might be different.

Bassong + Vermy (+ keeping Gallas and Toure + selling Silvestre) = orgasmic
