Like I said, Keegan agreed to the deal. But I think it was Wise and his team that "spotted" him and brought him to KK's attention. Not exactly hard to "spot" an Argentine international though.

Post: #37 Michael Owen, Mark Viduka and Obafemi Martins head up Newcastle ditch list Bassong has been a rare positive in another gruelling season for Newcastle. Signed from Metz last summer, the 22-year-old Frenchman has been heralded as a success story for the recruitment department that is led by Dennis Wise, the executive director (football), but Bassong has credited Kevin Keegan, the former Newcastle manager, for his discovery. “I came to Newcastle because my agent knew Kevin Keegan and my agent told him he had me and that I was a good player at Metz,” he said. “Kevin had seen me play one or two times for France Under-21 and he asked my agent if I could come for a trial.” Maybe that's where Simon Bird get's his proof from, a direct quote from the player himself. Though obviously laughing Lambias says different.

King Sentinel I First Team Regular Posts: 12,871 Joined: Jan 2009	Post: #42 Michael Owen, Mark Viduka and Obafemi Martins head up Newcastle ditch list The team this next season, IF we go down wont look anything like the team we have now, I think maybe 3 will stay the same, Harper, Taylor and Shola, the rest will leave in a mass exodus. And MO will be gone either way.
