    Would anyone welcome him back?
    I remember him, perhaps through rose tinted spectacles, being good.
    Yes he's been in a relegated team twice but Colo amongst others has been relegated too.
    I mean no disrespect but surely he's better than Watford??

    He made a massive mistake leaving us and seems to have gone backwards. I wouldn't take him as I think he's crap now.

    Not seen him since he left other than on TV. My initial thoughts were, firstly, he was one of the rats leaving the sinking ship and, secondly, if he was still decent he wouldn't be at Watford.

    So no I wouldn't even consider him in an injury crisis.

    Crisis, what crisis?!?!"

    I would never say I wouldn't have him if he were what we needed and he was still performing. We need Colo's replacement though and Bassong is a different kind of centre half. Add in his recent history is littered with poor form. He made a mistake leaving us and has gone backwards.

    My thoughts really, if he was still any good then he wouldn't be at Watford.
    If he is still has the ability I'd welcome him back though.

    Still, least we made a decent profit on him.

    Not for me. I hope we have Colo's replacemnet signed for next season though, even if it's a youngster from abroad. Colo only has 18 months left at this level for me.

    Have I missed something or wandered on to the Chelsea board by mistake?

    The shortage of centre halfs mean we may need Colo into his forties!

    No f****** way.

    He's been at Three Clubs, that were relegated with him playing - that tells you something.

    The man is a 'Jonah' and should be avoided.

    No. ****em. We gave him his chance, and he rewarded us with asking for a move right away. He could at least given us a year and half. Hope he ends up in league 2.

    It's a no from me.

    I'll always remember National Seb Bassong Day on BBC 606. :)

    I'll always remember that tackle on Kenwyne Jones. <applause>

    I'll also remember that he left at the first opportunity when we went down <grr> and that he never seemed to live up to the potential he showed when he was with us. No better than our current CBs, but at least they seem to love the Toon.

    Nope. **** and a traitor. We have Lascelles, Dummett, Satka and Streete to try and help establish careers. If we are replacing Colo (or even Taylor or Williamson) then we need to be looking at experience and quality. International level, not Championship. I think Colo could possibly do okay for us through to the end of next season, which would be the end of his contract. Unless he becomes utterly **** in the 2nd half of this season I can't see us letting him go for nowt in the summer and I doubt anyone will pay his current wages elsewhere either.

    Not sure where you all stand on the Bassong thing, seem to be a lot of you sitting on the fence :D

    In all seriousness, its pretty unanimous that we don't want him back.

    He is a rat rumour the reason he has been loaned out to Watford from Norwich is he refused to play early part of the season and tried to engineer a move.
    He looked decent at first for Norwich however last areas on towards the end he dropped a massive bollock through performance with the villa game being the main highlight In his run of dire form
