I can't apply the same criteria to someone who is allowed regular football with the first team and still plays like poop most of the time.

Back to commenting on Bassong... For me I don't think that the problem is that he's not good enough... The reason he is likely to be shipped out is because he wants to go. He knows that he is 5th choice at best and may well slip further down the pecking order. The man is paid to play football and wants to do just that. It's a tough call for Spurs but if we can get in a reasonable replacement he should be let go (for a fee of course!)
With regards to the other centre-halves we have; I'm not sure that I see exactly what Kaboul brings that people are raving about him quite so much. He is still a little ill-disciplined and I personally would have liked him to have upped his game a little more being such a fixture in the side currently. IMO when Daws is back fit he will be the mainstay of the defence, hopefully alongside King, but more likely alongside Kaboul. It was interesting to see that when played alongside Gallas (the supposedly superior and more experienced player) Daws was the one asked to play out of position to suit Billy-the-gooner better.
I've not seen enough of Caulker. Is he a ball playing centre back like King (/Rio Ferdinand/Kaboul)? Or is he more an 'old-school' defender like Dawson(John Terry/Tony Adams)?
