I think as long as we offered him in writing a contract the same as his last one or greater then we get compo . Got a feeling we didn't match his last one though
[cite]Posted By: Mortimerician[/cite]I thought that we couldn't match his current terms therefore he's a free agent, regardless of whether he moves in country or not.
he was gutted to be offred what he was, he would have loved to have stayed but was told he wasn't going to figure, so good luck Grant where ever you end up.I've read alot on here about him being too slow etc etc.But he has a little bit of quality about him which will see him have adecent pro-career imo.
i didnt mean it as a slight on bassey he could easily have done a job but for me he was no better than the options we had and was infact further down the pecking order than was proberly fair to him, the amounts being talked about are not a great deal and if that is the figure then i feel had to leave for his sake
ABERDEEN manager Mark McGhee has not given up hope of signing former Charlton defender Grant Basey and Aston Villa attacker Jim Collins.
The moves have stalled as McGhee attempts to move some of his young squad players out on loan.
But he is confident of landing Basey and does not think the departure of Martin O’Neill from Villa has ended Aberdeen’s chances of a season-long loan deal for Collins.
McGhee said: “Basey is waiting for the button to be pressed. It is about one or two of the youngsters going out the other way.
“We are still hopeful something might happen with Collins even after Martin's departure. Again it depends on players going the other way, just in terms of the clutter of having a lot of young forwards here.”

I do agree, decent enough player, wouldn't have let us down. We just can't offer him the games he needs.
If Youga ever gets fit, then Basey would be our thrid choice left back and is probably 4/5th choice CB so it is best for both parties if he goes somewhere else, wish him all the best and there is a decent player there, could with some more experience and decent coaching turn into a good Championship player but one problem aside from the lack of pace if finding a best position. Also with finances the way they are, surely the money that would be used for his wages would be best utilised elsewhere- like the illusive striker.
From the summer interview i did with Basey he told us he was offered deals at Inverness, Swindon and Brentford but declined as he wanted to stay at Charlton because he has been at The Valley since the age of 9, when Rufus was centre back.
Yes he is an Arsenal fan

will deserve any stick he gets going to the stripey scum
Dont think we will as we did not offer him a contract.
I dont say so that is why i said dont think
Our own fault for not offering Basey a contract if he goes there.
going to that tinpot shithouse thats the problem
This is my understanding of the rules as well!!
Either way I reckon he'd just end up in the same position as he was here with us at Palace.
With Doc Dailly and Llera he would be too slow to be left back in the current set up.
That's not to say he wouldn't have been useful, or that he won't develop and become a better player.
At the moment we have better players in every position he can play. He's 22 in a few months, he needs to play regular football.
