Michel Bastos - LW - Olympique Lyonnais (35 Viewers)

30M for Pazzini makes the Amauri deal look like Palermo paid us the transfer fee.

Fucking Pazzini.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

[Ken]

Oh come on, there is no way we're paying 30m for Pazzini.

 

[vodka]

He has not. He would take our non EU spot.

"He also has the advantage over Krasic thanks to an EU passport and his contract with Lyon expires in 2013."

 

[Dostoevsky]

They say if we don't find an agreement with Bastos until Sunday (we want them to lower their demands) we'll move towards Elia.

I doubt there's much truth in it but oh well.

Lyon representative and former manager Bernard Lacombe has told Tuttomercato that the French club have yet to hear from Juventus concerning rumours that the Old Lady are lining up a bid for Brazilian Michel Bastos.

"I read about the offer of €22m on the part of the Bianconeri, but we did not reach anything like that. Maybe at coaching staff level something has happened, but between the two clubs, at least at the moment, there is absolutely nothing," Lacombe told the Italian press.

The former player and boss also ruled out any big players being involved in a swap deal, stating the wages players earn at Juventus are not available at Lyon.

"Momo Sissoko and Vicenzo Iaquinta? I do not see how we can sign players with so high a salary, these are those of Juventus, not our club."

€22m is way too much...
Krasic is available for 15...

Would be good like Iaquinta+Sissoko= Bastos. I'd like that.

 

[Stu]

Wouldn't mind using Sissoko or Iaquinta as part of a deal for him.

Would be good like Iaquinta+Sissoko= Bastos. I'd like that.

Common, Iaquinta and Sissoko for Bastos?

Iaquinta is maybe not the best striker but certainly a pinch hitter when fit. And Sissoko could also be very usefull next season. I would never do that and Juve must be crazy if that goes true.

 

[Stu]

I wouldn't give them both. One of them and money.

 

[Ken]

That would be alright. Though Bastos for LB would hardly solve any of our defensive problems on that side, as he's not a fullback but a winger.

 

[Stu]

I'd still rather have him in that position than De Ceglie.

 

[Ken]

Me too.

But we'd spend a lot of money on a player who doesn't really fix the main issue, which is defense. There don't seem to be many options, but Bastos is simply too expensive for what he would offer at LB.

 

[Stu]

There's not many good left backs out there.

 

[Ken]

I know, and I have to say it worries me a bit, but spending 22-25m on Bastos doesn't seem a very sensible thing to do either way, it's simply far too much. We really have to stop leaking goals, even though his runs forward would be great.

 

[Stu]

just win every game 4-3

[FlavioJuve]

Wouldn't it had been much easier to not let Criscito leave to Genua?

 

[Ken]

He could've been a decent, cheap option, but that's no longer an issue.

 

[Enron]

If you guys can't shell out 18 for Krasic, how do you expect to pay 25+ for Bastos?
