BTA creates panic in defences but is a one footed striker who isn't very accurate. Bassette is a young player that isn't the finished article but needs a bit of game time. Both have their uses but are not good enough to be 1st choice striker.If we’re serious about getting up the table and out of this league in the coming seasons, we need a better sub than Bassette. BTA is a better player (right now) than Bassette so selling him with no replacement weakens the squad.
If BTA starts 8 of the next 11 games or so (as Bassette had done) he’ll have a chance to show his quality and his worth.
He’s nowhere near as bad a player as people like to make out on here.
Biggest issue with Bassette is he's light weight, depends on the ref for some empathy (doesn't happen often) and constantly gets caught offside, incredibly frustrating when we are pushing forward, or need an outlet.BTA creates panic in defences but is a one footed striker who isn't very accurate.

Wright is at a totally different level to the pair of them but could strike up a good partnership with either. Both would make space for him with their runs.
We should be looking to make a small profit given the interest and there is limited available proven strikers in January.So, allegedly Eustace has made an offer for BTA. What would it take for us to let him go?
£3 -£4 mill? More? Less? Do you think Robins and Stoke will now make an offer too, the window is closing soon and they probably both need to get a striker in.
Fuming. Missed out againThank god for that….

Was set to go to Bolton I believe but he was offered a coaching role beyond his 18 month deal at Lincoln. Meant to be a top pro. Type of character we could actually do with around the place.Thank god for that….

BTA is good enough to be a first choice striker. Let’s not forget he was WBA’s top scorer last season. He’s not going to put up 15-20 goals a seasonBTA creates panic in defences but is a one footed striker who isn't very accurate.

Case in point why people need to calm down - loans like this are hard to get over the line. Especially when he will have plenty of suitors. Sure club doing best, but we need to move on to ensure we don't get left high and dry again.Got a feeling this is starting to drift
Agree, starting to look that way. Guess rationale will be we have the 3 players due back soon, make do until summer when likely to be quite a big kitty and turnover.Does feel like it’s going to be a quiet end. Hope I’m wrong though
To be fair might be the idea as we are 8th in the form table over ten games. Definitely not at risk imo of going down so might be better to spend wiser in the summerAgree, starting to look that way.

im starting to think that way also. Be good to get 1/2 in, especially in midfield area just to give fresh legs alone.To be fair might be the idea as we are 8th in the form table over ten games. Definitely not at risk imo of going down so might be better to spend wiser in the summer
Less bothered about missing out if it's only a loanGot a feeling this is starting to drift
Will get laughed as I would of laughed at it myself but would rather Allen starts atm over sheaf when he comes backWonder if Allen coming back into the side has changed the club's position on Rak-Sakyi.
Might be a case of risking it until Sheaf is back.
There's nothing to laugh at. He is doing better and there has been an uplift since he came inWill get laughed as I would of laughed at it myself but would rather Allen starts atm over sheaf when he comes back
The issue is it will reach a point where we don’t have time to replace him.Regarding MVE, Sky are reporting with Kyle Walker going to AC Milan, Fulham are interested in Emerson Royal who is at Milan.
I don't believe Fulham will go for MVE and Royal, so one less interested party potentially.
Better to sell in the summer, lucky we don’t have to sell now with his contract where it isThe issue is it will reach a point where we don’t have time to replace him.

Can’t wait for us to sign nobody and the Doug apologists to retort with “well Lampard clearly doesn’t feel he needs to add to the squad”
Better to do this than adopt your scatter gun "throw millions we haven't got " in an inflated window at recruiting new players.The narrative is already changing. Before the window we were apparently desperate for at least another CM, CB and RB and now it’s OK a if we don’t get any.
I called it early Burroughs and Howley would be our “signings”
So you think there’s nobody available in January that could add to our squadI’d rather sign no one than introduce two 33 year olds that haven’t played a league game all season.
Or an 18 year old unproven player from a premier league club on loan who we have to play and who clearly isn’t good enough for Championship football.
Or any player that clearly doesn’t add anything quality wise to our squad and whose wages are a ridiculous waste of resources.
But yeah sign any of the above just to appease those short sighted supporters who still think actual football is like wanking off in their one bedroom flat playing Football Manger….

Course there is. Lewis O’Brien for one. But we haven’t got unlimited funds to go out and get them. Would rather hold money for the summer than sign shite as we couldn’t afford the inflated cost of anyone decent.So you think there’s nobody available in January that could add to our squad
He didn't say that , read what he said . You've just made that up .So you think there’s nobody available in January that could add to our squad
