Ealing Robin Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Just makes you think really were second in the league with a zero goal difference without him where would we be? :noexpression: without him I'm sure we wouldnt be where we our in the league and god knows what our goal difference would be.

si_aston Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Where would we be without Basso ? In Hell ! Nice one. There's no doubting he's a cracking shot stopper and he reminds me a lot of Fabien Barthez in that respect. He saved us from a Rugby score on Saturday and I lose count of the other times he's pulled off cracking saves that Premier League goalkeepers would be happy with.

Hicksy-BCFC Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 The simple answer to the question is about 11th - 14th Our goalkeeper has been absolutely outstanding this season. Our attackers have been mediocre, hence the goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbob Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I fear that next year we will soon have to face up to life without Basso. Remember that before we signed Basso Arsene Wenger had tried to sign him but failed to get a work permit. The Prem is not blessed with Goalkeeping talent. Lets face it Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool have only two top keepers between them (Van Der Saar and Reina) outside of this the others are all Top Championship or average Prem Keepers. The rest of the dividsion bar Given, Harper, James, Robinson are all around the same standard. and many of them would not automatically claim a place in the top 10 championship sides! If Basso wants Prem football at the age of 32 (and realise his dream of playing international football) he will surely go if we don't take him there! Lets Beleive we can get him there!

Always Ashton Red Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 cech is another top keeper.. almunia is a great keeper..

Apologies I forgot about Chec, I have many mates who are season ticket holders at Arsenal and they say that other than a midfield general in the Viera mould the one thing they want is a bloody good keeper as Almunia is not a top four keeper. Joe Hart - You said it one for the future not a great keeper now. Given - Should be at top four club James/Robinson - Top four club keeper? Too many costly mistakes for me. Lets face it Spain and Italy have more quality keepers than our Prem and you are dead right Basso would fit most prem sides as either first choice or as competition! Lets pray for it as 1st coice with the CIty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may be right. Teams like Blackburn [brad Friedel], Middlesbrough [Mark Schwarzer], Portsmouth [David James] have keepers nearing the end of the careers and will surely be on the look about this summer. Spurs are chasing a goalie or two too [if Paul Robinson goes]. They all can't look further with Basso in such brilliant form. If the unthinkable, erm, doesn't happen afterall, and an offer comes in the region of 500k, I feel the club will accept a bid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
