mostob:to who? No place in a team is guaranteed, every player is given a chance to fight for a starter’s shirt where the best starts games Brighton wanted Chelsea’s Conwil who played on loan with them last season but chelsea refused selling permanently to them and in De Zerbi’s list bassey is second in terms of their CB transfer targets which is the reason they are going for him Also Brighton were interested in him after he’s stellar season in the Scottish league and Europe before he opted for Ajax 3 Likes 1 Share |

charlesemeka85:For over 4 generations, Ajax have seen some of the finest footballers in the world, it's insane to think they have a particular bias against Bassey, a player they had high hopes for when he first arrived. Even in chaos, good players still standout. For instance, You can't look at Chelsea's last season amist the upheavel and say Thiago Silva, Reece James, Chilwel, kovacic etc are all bad players. For your information, Ajax problem last season wasn't goal scoring, only 1 team outscored them all season. They had a very unstable defence partly due to Bassey's lack of position awareness, he lost his place at the end. A point Bassey himself agreed to when he said he was learning from Timber and Alvarez sitting on the bench(screenshot). Secondly, his ability on the ball is comical. Simply not Ajax standard to put it mildly. His level is the Scottish league, harsh truth. His profile being a left footed CB (a rarity) appeals to scouts. He wouldn't get this far if he was right footed. He will be exposed at Brighton.

Swear to God that you watched one Ajax game this past season? Did you watch them against Liverpool? Did you know Bassey got more than 10 match of the man award this past season? I watched all Ajax game that Bassey started. Timber was more at fault for goals conceded by Ajax than Bassey but the fans always turn on him cos they spent 28 million on him., therefore they expect him to stop all the balls from going in which is not humanly possible. Yes, he do make mistake sometimes but who doesn't. The Ajax team Bassey met was in disarray. The midfielders were some of the worst set of players in Ajax history. Bobbery, Tadic and this Tottenham guy were also struggling in attack. It got to a time that the coach had to play Kudus their best midfileder as a 9. Whenever Kudus start in midfield Bassey plays better cos Kudus can hold the ball and carry it forward. Ask yourself why Brighton wants both Kudus and Bassey together? Watch ball and stop displaying your silly ignorance here! This tweet explains it better Barryseal: 3 Likes 1 Share

Marjoribanks:You watch every Ajax game and you don't know Bassey isn't so good in possession and playing out from the back, a system Ajax is renouned for? Did you watch Vermalean and Vertogen back in Ajax to understand the football IQ Ajax required from their CB? Even for the Super Eagles, he struggled to do the basics against Ghana. At a point he couldn't even trap the ball, he was promptly yanked off. People like you blamed the pitch and weather(night game). A country like Nigeria cannot have a defender at Ajax and he's not the first name on the team sheet. But what do we have? |

He wasn't good yet Ajax paid 28 million for him. Not good but Brighton is ready to pay 20m for him? How much do your entire live worth? lol! Who were the midfielders when those guys were playing for Ajax? Did you read at all? A defender can only be good in possession if the midfielders make themselves available for the ball. After putting him on the bench was Ajax better? Read and stop your silly blllababuuluu! Barryseal: 3 Likes

komekn: Players and valuation these are chalk and cheese. We've seen players valued at 100M not worth anyway near it. I guarantee you, Brighton are looking at Bassey's profile and not performance. This was the exact Reson MJ wasn't a first draft NBA pick. You claim to be a scout so you should understand what I'm saying. Awaziem and Omeruo aren't in this discussion. They have their career trajectory and as native Africans, they have done relatively well for themselves. They have both been in the books of Porto and Chelsea. Played at the highest level in Spain and France. I don't really know what you have against them. 1 Like |

I don't think Bassey is as bad as some people here are insinuating. Are there areas of his game he can improve on yes of course, but I can't be too harsh on a young player who a year ago shown brightly in the Europa League final one of the highest showcases of European club football after UCL. We sha saw how Ajax 'improved' after benching Calvin won't say much than that. Kog45: 2 Likes |

Barryseal: First of the inclusion was a retort to those who felt particularly in comparison to Awaziem and Omeruo that Bassey is not good enough. Awaziem and Omeruo have not done well remove the proviso African. Omeruo never played for Chelsea and Awaziem spent more time in the B team. That says a lot about their supposed quality. 4 Likes |

komekn:I can't remove the African proviso. The reality of the quota tarrif on non EU players will always be a bias against Africans. South Americans usually have 2 passports, they get signed up and intigrated seemlessly. You can play the ostrich if you want but that won't negate the truth. |
