Michel Bastos - LW - Olympique Lyonnais (1 Viewer)

[Ahmed]

The 70 Million was the transfer budget for this season. 50 are gone already, with the rest we will buy Agüero/Grossi, Vidal, Bastos and a central defender. We will also sell players who don't want to leave.

Nope, 70M was a cash injection not the budget.

€120m was the cash injection. €70m was the loan.

 

[Raz]

Anyone just not to see Pepe starting again.

The mercato budget, I mean.

I believe you are right. I don't know how much exactly it was (40, 50, 70 or 120 million) but it was a cash injection from the owners, similar to what Berlusconi often does in Milan.
Milan operate with a transfer budget, but from time to time Berlu as an owner contributes with his money and buys players (that's how they bought Ronaldinho and Ibrahimovic).

The cash injection approved some weeks ago is only an addition to the existing transfer budget. It's a question though how big the transfer budget was and how big the injection was. It's everyone's guess atm.

Imo, the "loan with rights to buy" guys were already planned in the transfer budget and they won't be paid from the cash injection from the owners.

Bastos Done deal 12/13mil , annoucement soon

how reliable is your source dude?

Anyway he would be a huge prop on the left wing. Hope it's true.

Could you imagine if we actually did have a €100m+ transfer budget? The amount of on tuz would be face deforming.

 

[Albo]

We are waiting for Bastos to finish watching the Copa to finalise the deal.

 

[ZoSo]

Bastos may or may not be finalized. The deal is believed to be completed because Marotta met with Bastos' agent in a Milan Hotel. I don't think the negotiation with Lyon is completed though. There has been a lot of talk about Juve and Bastos and his agent but not actually between Juve and OL.

Bastos Done deal 12/13mil , annoucement soon

Proof of it being a done deal?

Use words carefully.

It was reported by CDS, and Mediaset . wait until the official annoucement .
I prefer to get excited now in these dark days

 

[baggio]

I feel like the Bastos deal would have a bearing on who we buy between Rossi and Aguero. Given thatbwe'd be spending less on this LW position, it seems a large remainder of the budget would go toward Aguero. Signing Rossi for 25, may have meant spending big on an LW of the level of Nani or Ribery. But I'd be perfectly fine with Bastos and Aguero too. Just conjecture, but still.

There's nothing exciting about him coming, Zak...

I'm using the same Logic as Baggio, Bastos coming here means no WC LW is coming , so the remaining of our Budget will be on Aguero.
WIshful thinking i know but it keeps me excited. .
plus Bastos is very good player, very good left foot something we lacked for years. can play on both flanks and has some nice pace. with him and Krasic, Pirlo will have some nice options to pass the ball.

 

[Brujitas]

Apart from all the talking about his abilities or his quality ( some people rate him- i sure do- , some don't)..... His left foot is just amazing... Power , accuracy , fucking great!!!!

 

[dbochev]

Awesome news if it's supposed to be trusted. + Aguero and we actually might start looking like a team.




P.S. Motta is dead. Source: my dreams

Man face it , Aguero won't come .

This seems like its a done deal, to be finalized in the coming days. Very cool
