snakehips 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle5854476.ece From The Times March 6, 2009 Bassong has been a rare positive in another gruelling season for Newcastle. Signed from Metz last summer, the 22-year-old Frenchman has been heralded as a success story for the recruitment department that is led by Dennis Wise, the executive director (football), but Bassong has credited Kevin Keegan, the former Newcastle manager, for his discovery. “I came to Newcastle because my agent knew Kevin Keegan and my agent told him he had me and that I was a good player at Metz,” he said. “Kevin had seen me play one or two times for France Under-21 and he asked my agent if I could come for a trial.” This was taken from N-O btw. I bet Lee Ryder's already printed this story though. If I bought the Ronnie I would have seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 747 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Another one for the Compendium it looks like, as though we didn't already know Bassong was a KK buy. Get these liars out of our club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Onion 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I wonder if Llambias will come up with some 'misquote' excuse, like he did with the Villa stuff? SJP is a bullshit factory these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Basically who recruited who seems to entirely depend on the underlying point of the moment. Or more succinctly: never believe a word they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Onion 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The important issue now is less who signed who, more Llambias's motivation for the remarks. We all know what that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U_V 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I'm waiting for the massive backlash to this blatant lie by Llambias over on N-O. They seem to be in shock at the moment though, as it's been completely ignored so far apart from one lad implying Bassong is lying and insisting it was Dennis who found him. Strange.

Big Onion 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I was just reading N-O and noticed that immediately. Imagine the indignation if Keegan had been shown to have lied about which players he's signed in order to discredit Wise? There'd be calls to burn the bloke at the stake.

Guest alex Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I could perhaps accept (or at least partly accept) the overall, long-term strategy for the club if I had any confidence in the people running the show being honest when they talk about it. Stuff like this makes me highly suspicious of their intentions because if Llambias is willing to lie so blatantly on this issue, how can he be trusted when talking about the stuff that really matters? This is just one example, obviously, but it highlights exactly what those of us with deep concerns about the sincerity of the regime are worried about.

Big Onion 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 It also shows, not for the first time, just what a clot Llambias is when it comes to this PR game. He was embarrassed at least twice in the recent meeting with fans (apparently unaware of Ashley's 'top six' remarks in the programme, and the mess he got himself into over the Arsenal/Villa model business); and these quotes from Bassong come, I believe, from an interview with John Gibson weeks ago.

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I think I already said his "Who's been the best player?" was a classic lie setter upper. It really was, wasnt it! I wish somebody there had picked a player who's been far from the best to see if he'd go for it and name them as a Wise signing. But then fans aren't the cynical lieing little fuckers that the management are so they answered him honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
