Popular Post Essandoh 21,208 Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 Brilliant video giving some insight to Calvin Bassey’s upbringing in the neglected London borough of Newham, early rejections in football, and his pride in being part of Rangers’ unbeaten, invincible 55th league title winning team. ”I remember seeing Gerrard the first day, I had to pinch myself, “is this real?”. A month ago I was in the ends, now I’m in front of Gerrard and he knows my name!” Always plays with a smile on his face. Love him.

YoungBill 46 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I like this lad and do hope he continues to develop into all the player he can be. I’m sure he’ll do well. He loves the Rangers.

He’s decent both in defending and going forward and great pace. Would like to see more of him. I seriously wouldn’t fancy playing against him. Not that I’m a shite bag!

He hasn’t much technical ability but his physical presence alone gives him such a unique threat for a wing back YoungBill and The Specky Forum Organiser 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim1690 4,534 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 That Smile , I was so happy for him on presentation day, he was running around like a kid on christmas day, his jaws must have been aching going to bed that night, such an infectious personality. gmcf, Essandoh and BlueVanguard 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuistraHairDo 12,490 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Alls good in the hood Will have to work his socks off to replace Barasic tho, any chance he gets he'll need to perform, just to keep his place as the replacement really. Hasn't done too bad when called upon tbf to the boy and deserves his league winner medal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get that sorted and Borna will have proper competition Thought he was excellent, bar his delivery. His final ball isn't there yet, and I doubt he'll offer what Borna does at set pieces. But his improvent is obvious, his engine matches Tavs in a way Borna doesn't. and he has a physical dominance Borna can only dream of. He's arguably already more suited to the rough and tumble of the domestic game here than Borna, whilst Europe suits Borna better. Definite competition as the season progresses, but it might be Borna fighting to get back in not Bassey 😁 falkirkNS, YoungBill and Fergie_6 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t work like that though you can’t have a player and only throw him in European ties imo, forms built by having a run of games not stop start, would never get the best from Borna doing that. Bornas the better player for the position at the moment, Bass just needs to keep working hard and if Borna gets injured and out the team for a spell he needs to be ready to step in and make the position his own. Borna offers more just now but I’m a fan of Bassey think he’s got potential to be a top player. falkirkNS, plumbGER and YoungBill 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am obv not meaning borna for Europe only, but games before Europe he can be rested, as Gerrard says hopefully be tail end of 60 games this season, everyone will need to do their bit.
