Michel Bastos - LW - Olympique Lyonnais (21 Viewers)

No way. He only played there for Brazil, right? And he wasn't very good at it.

Exactly... it's why I think it might happen.

If he's a left back then it's a bad transfer. If he's a winger then I think we could have done better, as his price looks too high.

I would not hate this signing.

Even if the price will probably be a bit steep.

Even if he'd play as a left back?

Of course not. Playing Bastos at LB would make about as much sense as signing Toni.







Fuck, that's what's going to happen, isn't it?

Bastos is close to Juve.

Marotta is talking with his agent while we have an agreement with Lyon.

Marotta is staying for sure, i see.

No doubt about that.

May as well be like that.

 

[Djabrail]

He ll be 28 by then. 16 mil

 

[mondo1]

not really impressed with him....for that amount of cash we could easily sign someone younger and better.
i wouldn't mind him here but i would not be excited about this transfer....

I'd preffer Elia, although he's not very young either.

 

[JuveJay]

Whole game from him:
Brasil v England, playing at left back.

Brasil v England, playing at left back.

Tell us how he was

 

[Dostoevsky]

It's highlights!

 

[JuveJay]

It's everytime he kicked the ball, took a throw-in, farted, you don't need the whole game!

 

[Nomuken]

Really can't see this happening, especially when were way off CL. Though if we do we'll loan him out and sell him for half the price.

 

[Wahdan]

Would be really stupid signing as LB or LW.

Bastos plays best on the right so he can cut and shoot with his amazing left foot. That's the quality that made him known, other than that he's not bad.

 

[YasoR17]

I'd rather have Eljero. Younger, better, cheaper.

 

[JuveJay]

How better?

 

[Wahdan]

For the left side, Vargas is the best option.

 

[Nedvěd]

How better?

Elia is more tricky and a better dribbler. Even if Bastos was twice the player Elia is (which is not), Elia would be a smarter move. Elia is 24, Bastos is 27, Elia's price is around €8m, Bastos's is around €16m. You can have around a minimum of 5 good years of Elia, while you can have a maximum of 5 good years of Bastos.

Hmm, I had no idea about this.

Lyon have recently admitted that with the crisis in France regarding TV revenue, they may have to sell players this summer.
