Agree with oohaah he's a squad player at best in this league for the top teams. It's not that he's a poor player, but I wouldn't have him as a regular at left or centre back in a team going for promotion from League 1 (yet, still young). Not a midfielder either for me.
Though considering we only had Fry on loan come the start of the season to play left back (well and Jackson), we could have probably kept him as part of the squad. Surely wouldn't have been on big money.
Yet on another thread you seem to be against the idea of bringing back former players or is it just the ones you didn't like in the first place?
I am fed up with all the threads on here linking us with former players - where did I say I wanted Grant back? I'm just remarking on the fact that he was playing in the play-offs (which we didn't manage) and then later I remarked that he is looking good these days (but not in a gay way).
Yea, and maybe I think we should've kept him (as implied by my saying I agreed with Large). However, this is different from the numerous posts linking us with every fecking player who's played 5 minutes for Charlton in the last 15 years.
But you stated you agree with Large who said he would have him back. I do agree with you that it is tedious people on here starting threads about bringing back former players who are available/may or may not be within our reach. However by starting this thread you must have known it would start that sort of discussion.

I've slightly amended my earlier post.
I started this thread simply because I was surprised to see Grant on the pitch in an L1 play-off match. I'm a simple man so I didn't think of where it would go.
He s made the most of his talent which we really cannot say most of our squad has done this season.All the best to Grant Basey-never seemed to moan or make a fuss just tried to do his best.Cafc players take note.
Despite being a bit slow I always rated Grant - thought he had a sweet left foot, was commited in a challenge and could play left sided centre half just as easily as left back.
Bloody hope Huddersfield win the final. Don't want them in this league next season. Peterbrough will probably lose Makail-Smith and Boyd if the fail to go up and could be a soft touch next year with their leaky defence.
Did we really let him go or did he turn down a contract last summer like Randolph? He was on trial at Aberdeen pre season and would have been offered reduced terms by us having previously been on a championship contract
Also hope Huddersfield go up, Barry Fry has said they are very likely to lose Mackail Smith and Boyd so that would affect them next season whereas get the feeling Huddersfield would be just as strong if not stronger.

Yeah i was disappointed when we released him and thought he had a lot of potential.
Mind shelvey wasnt good enough for us either i seem to recall and i dont think he's ended up too badly.
basey has made 5 starts and 2 sub appearances for peterborough
squad player at best
only bristol rovers let in more than the posh in the league this season
.....and Mascagni.
So, Basey has managed to Un-Charltonise himself?

And he was 'one of ours'.
I thought he looked solidish til the injury caused by Blizzard
