Michel Bastos - LW - Olympique Lyonnais (26 Viewers)

[Firestarter]

Actually, that smilie was directed at Jacks post.

I agree with yours, Lyon should look for better alternatives to Govou. They have Briand now, who can play on the right, plus they have the young Alexander Lacazette, who looks really promising.

Roma wants him.

I'd take Yannis Tafer instead.

Which is why I don't want him here in the first place. The first formation is better than the second.

1st:

Motta - Bonucci - Chiellini - (Some good LB)

Krasic - Melo - Marhisio - Pepe

2nd:

Motta - Bonucci - Chiellini - De Ceglie

Pepe - Melo - Marhisio - Bastos

What about 3rd
Motta - Bonucci - Chiellini - Bastos

Pepe - Melo - Marhisio - Elia

Bastos is close to a done deal, his money will be from Chiellini's sales.

Chiellini`s sales? Is Chiellini making a yard sale?

No.

Really, Fred? I don't watch a ton of Ligue 1, but I saw him on the left... at least I'm pretty sure I did, anyway. So basically, he plays the same position that Martinez played at Catania last season?

We definitely need to sign Krasic.

Don't get me wrong, he played on the left too last season. But most of his games where on the right, that is for sure. At the start of the season the front three looked like this

Lisandro----Gomis----Bastos

Gomis didn't do so well, so after a while Lisandro was shifted to the center and Delgado was put on the left. All the while Bastos and Govou were being rotated together. Puel does a fair bit of rotation though, so Bastos got some games on the left too. But the left was occupied first by Lisandro then by Delgado. So in most cases Bastos was playing on the right.

For further proof, forget the Ligue, look at Lyons setup in the CL. If you watched the game against Liverpool, Bastos was played on the right, you can check out the highlights, he had quite an interesting battle with Insua, Lisandro was played on the left in that game. Against Fiorentina it was the same, Lisandro on the left and Bastos on the right. Against Real he didn't play, against Bayern, Delgado was on the left and Bastos was on the right, against Bordeaux it was the same story.

So actually even in the CL, Bastos never, not even once(I'm not sure about the Debrecni game, i cannot recall that one) started a game on the left.

I'd take Yannis Tafer instead.

Tafer is pretty good too

Bastos is poor at fullback.

I see, I see. Yeah, I watched the Bordeaux matches, but missed the other CL games. Of course I don't need further proof, buddy... although I do love highlights. You're the Ligue UNGH expert!

Finally got a new cable package, so I'll be tuning in to some French football this season... definitely looking forward to it.

You won't regret it mate, i'm sure you won't. Everything is great about the Ligue, the fans, the football, the players, the stadiums, the atmosphere and one of the things that distinguishes the Ligue is the directing, cameramen and directors focus a lot on skills, nutmegs and things like that

Bastos is poor at fullback.

They'll ignore you and put either him, Vargas, Bale or Drenthe in their dream team anyway.

Love the choices there

 

[vodka]

Klin, your first squad with Pepe on left and Bastos in second squad is insanity. Bastos is twice as player as Pepe

 

[Salvatore]

You're one of few who could appreciate those choices, would be complete if Marcelo was included as well.

Of course he is. But it is even more insane having a whole left wing covered by Bastos and De Ceglie though. That would have made sense if we had a good defensive LB instead, which sadly De Ceglie isn't. Pepe is a type of player who is needed in every team. What he does is purely running, but he covers a lot of ground as well.

 

[CAPITANO]

They want 25mil for him

[Hust]

Next please...

 

[Albo]

25 mln E ???!

Lol , pls dont CLOSE this thread , but DELETE . :evil:

It's Aulas. What did you guys expect...

Doesn't matter if it's Aulas or Hoeness or the sporting director at Como. People are high if they're expecting clubs to bend over easily to help us out.

Diego + cash Marotta style

Ya Marcelo would complete the set. Fullbacks who cannot defend.
