It's hard to compare at the start of the season, a team just promoted Vs one that finished 9th in Prem. I am a bit amazed that people seem to have forgotten how good Basham was that season. We had smg like the 4/5ty best defence in the worlds best league and if I remember correctly he was statistically the best ball carrying defender in Europe or smg smiliar. He was many people's player of the season, he was just outstanding... certainly a bit more than 7/10.Ahmedhodzic may have more talent and a higher ceiling, but if he matches Bashams performance next season we will be selling him for 60 million.
