Michel Bastos - LW - Olympique Lyonnais (11 Viewers)

[Flamez]

I really think we should buy this guy if we can't get Mata (pipedream anyway) because he can play into the centre and is a great dribbler. He could play 'in the hole' between Pirlo and the strikers.

Bastos is exactly the type of player who couldn't do that.

I mean coming into the centre for support from the left wing. He's got a pretty lethal shot. He could recieve a pass from Pirlo or Vidal and slip it into one of the strikers in the box or take a shot.

Even though that's sorta against Conte's system of stretching the opposition's defense.

 

[Zacheryah]

stop dreaming about mata, a spanish player(they hate serie a) who just got third and championsleague.

he wont come, thats why marotta isnt making the efford

 

[ThirdStar]

Why are we saying get Mata? His agent is dealing with Arsenal now and it's pretty much a DONE deal.

I'll post what I posted in Vucinic's thread on why I want Bastos more.

look at Lyon's lineup

Lloris
Reveillere - Cris - Lovren - Kolo
Grenier - Gonalons - Pjanic
Bastos/Lacazette - Briand/Bastos
Gomis

He can play LW and RW

we neeed bastos or some sort of LW now. why are we wasting so much time on positions that aren't that pressing at the moment. I think we have enough decent CB to get us through till winter and our striker situation can come after we find a LW but that is what we neeed nowwwwww

I can guarantee you that we are looking for a LM/LW. In terms of the statement about enough decent CB. Watch last seasons games as well as this seasons friendlies and you will see we lack a leader in defence.

Besides why do you believe that we aren't able to look at several positions at once? I know some people believe men have a hard time multi tasking, but I guess that's why Marotta has got employees.

 

[JUVEMAN1211]

Thats not what I am saying. Chelinni(sp) would be a good enough leader in the back for me imo. Im not saying we can't multitask but its getting extremely frustrating that we arent capitalizing on the fact that bastos wants to sign with us and we are pushing our luck with the time that Lyon are giving us to sign him. Im no guru or someone who has the inside scoop on transfer shit like this but from an outside perspective it seems like we aren't using our time and money wisely.

 

[Maddy]

Chiellini wasn't able to organize the defence last season. Chiellini is best when he has a leader and organizer next to him. Our defence was very poor last season and the constellation of Bonucci - Chiellini was a part of that problem.

Apparently Conte aren't that keen on Bastos. Should we get a player that our coach do not like?

 

[JUVEMAN1211]

I mean i can see what you're saying about Chiellini but still. I dunno you don't find it frustrating that we don't pursue players like bastos or someone who can play in those positions? We need a LW obviously but does Conte think we need one? Bastos is fairly cheap as well but o well I guess im a little bias because I like Bastos a lot hah I just wanna fast forward a month so I can watch a real game hah

 

[Maddy]

I think we all wanna fast forward. The summer transfer window is a stressfull period for most football fans. I personally hate it because football journalist have nothing better to do than spreading fake rumours.

 

[JUVEMAN1211]

yea i know right. I like this whole forum thing but I also fucking hate it becuase it gets my hopes up for potential signings haha

I think Juve-Aguero was pretty much a done deal too, don't you think?

We should at least try to hijack that deal if it's true that Mata is only 20M max. He can also play on both flanks.

 

[Dostoevsky]

It seems he'll sign a renewal with Lyon.

It seems he'll sign a renewal with Lyon.

Well, that's the end of that

 

[Trezegol17]

So how many players we went for and failed ending up with?

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Damn. He was the one I thought we had the best chance of getting.

Vargas now, hopefully.

 

[Dostoevsky]

So how many players we went for and failed ending up with?

Too many.

Well, that's the end of that

I think it was either Bastos or Vucinic, while Conte's choice was and still is Mirko.

 

[KB824]

Too many.

I think it will be Vucinic and either Vargas or another LW
