He is training with us at the moment age 32 centre back Winger oduwa 22 ex spurs on trial Midfielder agyemang 21 with us too Defender ex QPR Chris Paul also training with us All playing at Harlington today
According to the above link Bassong hasn't played since March 2017 when he was at Norwich. Do we really need somebody coming into a fragile defence who hasn't played a competitive game for 18 months? Is that the best we can do?
As for the other two on trial:
Winger Oduwa, 22, had spells on loan at Glasgow Rangers, Luton, Colchester and Peterborough before being released by Spurs last year. He has since played in Slovenia.
Midfielder Agyemang, 21, has played for a number of non-League clubs since leaving Leyton Orient in 2016, the most recent being Wealdstone.
Incidentally, James Collins and Sebastian Bassong were both at Loftus Road last night watching the game. Bassong has been training with QPR but both are free agent centre-backs. Could be that either are in talks with Hoops

If we could only sign one of them my preference is for James Collins but ideally we could do with both.
Rumours circulating that #BristolCity are looking to sign free agent James Collins. Was at the game last night and apparently invited there by LJ
Looks like collins was there for Bristol city not us
It's puzzling why we wouldn't be looking at someone like Collins because he would be a much better signing than Bassong. I read that Bassong has not completed 90 minutes since Norwich’s 3-1 defeat to Reading on Boxing Day 2016 and that in the eight games in 2016-17 where Bassong started, the Canaries kept just two clean sheets – losing six of those ties. Not sure that he is any better than Lynch or Baptiste so personally I wouldn't bother signing him.
Bassong played 55 minutes of the U23's 1 - 1 draw with Leeds today.
I wonder if that is because they wanted to give 'play time' to someone else too, or whether he ran out of energy...? I cannot see him being a viable back-up but would love to be proved wrong.
