There are far better and younger players than him that would much more worth investing in.

Name a few.

He's only 27 aswell.

Bah cmon B, Bastos is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of Elia.

You're exaggerating it. Elia is younger, will be cheaper & has plenty time to adapt, improve & justify his price tag.

Sanchez for example.

However Bastos is proven.

Sanchez for example.

30 Million says he's not realistic.

 

[JuveJay]

The sort of signing we could only make with CL money.

However Bastos is proven.

In France?
And a bit unde WC2010.

 

[Nicholas]

Champions League also.

Elia is not? What has Bastos done to make you think he's miles ahead of Elia? You forget that once Coppa America starts, he's gone. Brazil play way too many useless friendlies & he'd be on international duty a lot.

No. I'd certainly say Elia is not yet proven. Hence why he rots the bench for Hamburg and Holland. Whilst Bastos was a star in Lille and Lyon. He also cemented a place in arguably one of the best national teams.

Sanchez for example.

He's not even the same position. But yes, if we're talking about talents and great potential then Sanchez is probably topping my list.

As for Bastos, I think he'd do very good in here. Then again, I'd probably avoid paying anything more than 15mln for him.

Lyon paid 18 mill for him 2 years ago, I doubt we will get him for 15 mill.
Something between 25 and 30 is more likely but I don't think Marotta will spend that money on Bastos.

 

[JuveJay]

Pretty much, but he'd cost more, which is why I'd look elsewhere.

EU status?

 

[Powis]

At 28, anything over 12m is strecthing it. Lyon won't sell him for less than 20m. I'd rather we go after Elia.

I don't care about how old player is. The only one thing that i want from player is a good play. I he does well, then forget about age. Without a doubt player who are over 35 old is exception, cause he's going to end a carrer and don't have potential.

NON EU.

I think so too since it's Lyon after all.

I'd skip him then, yes, I think we can find better players for that amount of money.

 

[JuveJay]

NON EU.

Forget him then.

 

[Dostoevsky]

As for his age, it shouldn't be parameter.

It's not like he's over 30, he's only 27 and he can probably play at least 3-4 seasons at a highest level. By that time he'd repay every penny.

It's just that he's simply not worth over 20mln IMO.
