22 yr old Bassong, in action against MackemsA source close to Bassong told the Chronicle:
“Sebastien is devastated by the madness at the club and wants to go. He cost the club hardly anything and feels he has justified his transfer fee. Compared to the rest of his team-mates he has been earning peanuts, picking up £5,000 a week while some of the players who have been earning five-figure salaries and hardly kicking a ball."
“He loves the fans – but who can blame him for wanting to leave?
“The club is unsure who will be the owners next season, there is no manager and, as much as he enjoys working with Alan Shearer, there are no guarantees that he will be the manager next season. Sebastien is a top-class professional, is never in any trouble and just wants to develop his career. He came to Newcastle on trial and they weren’t even sure if they wanted him at first, so he has played way above their expectations.”
We know that Alan has slapped a £15million price tag on him, and reports have rated Bassong as a £10million defender. However, there are many NUFC fans that tag Bassong as priceless and do not want to see him leave. After all, he was the best player for us in a bad bad season.The source continued by saying that Bassong was upset by the attitude shown by his team mates:
“Sebastien was suspended and gutted about having to sit in the stands. But after the game he was mortified by some of the scenes in the dressing room. He said that only three or four of the players looked genuinely upset about the club’s relegation."
“More worryingly, while the fans were still chanting outside, some players were talking about their holidays.”
It really sounds exactly like the performance we have shown on the pitch, highly paid players with no commitment. We can be sure that Bassong was extremely upset about our relegation, alongside Steven Taylor and Habib Beye. We pray for the good of the club that these 3 will be here next season to lead us out of the Championship.
