Seb strop

According to today's Guardian, Sebastien Bassong's non appearance at our pre-season game against Dundee wasn't, as Chris Hughton stated, solely down to the fact that he's suspended for Saturday's match against West Brom.

Instead, the paper reports that our player of last season refused to travel and is now doing all he can to force through a move away before the transfer window closes. This strop is likely to cost Bassong about ten grand (two weeks wages) - something he'll easily recoup in signing on fees, and increased wages, should a move take place.

Understandably frustrated at our inability to progress over the summer, it looks like the player might soon get his wish to move on to pastures new.
