Michel Bastos - LW - Olympique Lyonnais (6 Viewers)

I thought we already had a deal with the agent for Bastos and we just need to fix the fee with Lyon. Why are we still meeting the agent instead of dealing with Aulas?

Probably to get his agent to help negotiate the fee

Is this transfer taking so long just because of the stupid passport situation. If so damn government hurry up already. Otherwise Marotta needs to sign him and move on geez.

Take into consideration Bastos' skin color and the policies of the current French administration.

 

[Suns]

Who would have thought wrapping up Bastos would be this difficult...

Hurry the fuck up Juventus.

Because we have Marotta who thinks we're doing fine although we've finished 7th twice in a row.

 

[Lo-Pan]

speaking of the french league...any more news on our effortds to grab Christophe Bellus??Anyone here seen anything of the nantes kid in the frog league??

 

[JuveJay]

He plays for the U19's of a Ligue 2 side and isn't in the France U18's or 19's, so I doubt anyone has seen him.

 

[Cheesio]

Bastos is likely to go to Juventus for 13mil.

Cracking signing at that price.

 

[JCK]

Does Bastos have an EU passport?

 

[Nicholas]

I think he's very close or has a French Passport.

 

[Suns]

So we're signing a wingback to be our new offensive and creative force?

 

[Nicholas]

He's a Winger.

 

[Fred]

He's a winger Suns. One that scores goals as well. For 13M he'd be a bargain imo. He's a good player, and would be a significant upgrade over what Juve have on the left.

 

[Fake Melo]

Fred, could Bastos play in 4-3-3?

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

If we get him for 13M thats a very good deal IMO.

 

[AndreaCristiano]

If we get him for 13M thats a very good deal IMO.

yes that is excellent number for bastos

 

[El Santo]

Fred, could Bastos play in 4-3-3?

Wasn't that the preferred formation of Lyon when he joined?

 

[Gagi]

And of Lille before that, probably.

 

[Xiven]

Wasn't that the preferred formation of Lyon when he joined?

I don't know about Lique 1 but in the CL, Lyon play both 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3. More used formation is 4-2-3-1.

Lisandro
Bastos --- Gourcuff --- Briand
Kallstrom --- Toulalan​

 

[Flamez]

Yup, they used to swap those systems in game actually.

4-2-3-1 attacking, with Gourcuff going further on the pitch.
4-5-1 defending, with Gourcuff joining the other two midfielders.

if we can nail it own to 13mil then wow...after seeing pepe today reminded me of how utter useless he is and it would be a shame if he ended up as a starting player next season...
