So what. Either send him on loan anywhere than to a

Rival or let him rot. We must be paying Cuellar a fortune and he never makes the squad. I would rather not have signed him and taken a hit on Bassong than have agreed this loan deal.

It appears to be one of the most idiotic decisions taken by anyone at Norwich during my supporting lifetime.

Look at Twitter if you want to see the impact Bassong made today for a team who were struggling defensively in recent weeks. Can you recall emergency loans because if so we should do so immediately.
