In your pro evo soccer maybe. He had 17 games first season,after recovering from injury he was a regular starter under Capello. Next year the Balza warmed the bench for him or played the right back until he was sold to Fiorentina.
I just wanted to present my theory of providing the cheapest solution for this year LB problem. We'll see what Ciro will do.....

No, Cobolli is lying. We still ARE interested in getting Grosso.
Will we get him is another thing.
Lyon were playing hard ball because they thought sooner or later we'll accept to pay 3 or 3.5m eur.
But they obviously didn't expect us playing hard ball too.
Now here's the situation for Lyon:
- They want 3.5m eur
- Juve doesn't give more than 2m eur.
- 11 hours till transfer deadline.
- If they keep Grosso they will have to pay his very high wages (while he'll be nothing more but a bench warmer) and lose him next year for free.
So what's better? Sell him now for 2m eur or be stubborn and keep him?
If Grosso stays in Lyon both Juve and Lyon are losing. If Lyon sell Grosso to us for the money we're offering, both teams are winning.
Everyone knows what should be done. Now it's only a question of how big ego Lyon's directors have and is the well being of their team more important than their ego.

That's why i said "so far" 
I like it how we're looking for our interest and we're not giving up easily. We're trying to lower the price as much as possible. We're saying that our mercato is closed, knowing that Lyon will do everything to get rid of Grosso, and we're waiting for them to call us and accept our offer.
Of course, if it's some 1m eur difference that will be decisive in not getting him, then it will be bad.
I mean, if we want the player and we're ready to pay 2 or 2.5m eur for him, it will make very little sense missing out on him just because we didn't want to pay 3m eur.
Finding a middle ground right now might be the best. If they want 3.5 and we offer 2.5 then we might meet at 3m so no-one will feel like a loser.
