Cole Bassett Turns Down Benfica Move

Late yesterday news broke that at the close of the European window (for most European leagues at least) yesterday Cole Bassett turned down a transfer to Portuguese side Benfica.  As more details came out it turns down the offer was really for their B side, playing in the second division, with the opportunity to work up to the first-team squad.  I decided to wait until today to write about it hoping more details would come out.  Today Burgundy Wave spoke directly with Cole about the offer and his decision.  The article covers the details well enough that I'm not going to be able to do much better than that, so you should just go read it at BW.

In the end this sounds like the right move for Cole, and it makes sense to me, so who am I to argue?
