Michel Bastos - LW - Olympique Lyonnais (16 Viewers)

[Stevie]

Lack of interest in our potential LW targets from other clubs and the likes of Spurs and United sniffing around Vucinic probably.

Hazard or Arshavin

arshavin is so inconsistant.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

contract renewal for bastos
Vargas here we come !


Conte never really liked bastos,it always seemed like a done deal but Conte was stalling it

Conte didn't say that, neither was he stalling it. Marotta wasn't keen on lyon's asking price, whilst we were also waiting on his eu passport to arrive. Conte didn't mention anything about not wanting bastos.

80% chance of bastos staying at lyon

Show your working.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Marotta + tight budget
____________________ = ~ 60%
Lyon's asking price



+ Bastos' willingness to stay at lyon, equates to another 30% = 90%. Minus Bastos' imminant arrival
of a EU Passport = 80% unlikely

Now if only someone figured Marotta equation.

80% is a pretty high percentage, or atleast id be happy to get that in an exam.

why in heavens name would we priorize Vucinic acquisition over the LM though??
Just why, it makes no sense whatsoever...

Makes sense if Vucinic is going to be the LW.

Makes sense if Vucinic is going to be the LW.

Noooooooo! At least in a 4-4-2/4-2-4 anyway.

CMIIW but Conte put right footed forwards Reginaldo at Siena and Immobile at the last match for LW. So it is possible.

 

[El Santo]

Oh man, I hope not.

Were still going to sign a LW surely. Amauri, Iaquinta, Martinez and whoever else still need to be shipped out so the money we get for them + the cost of their wages will allow us the free space to invest in a LW. Don't expect it to be Bastos though, this saga has dragged on for too long. I reckon Vargas will sign for us :xfinger:

 

[Fellas]

If we was ready to pay 22+8 for Rossi. Now we are getting Vucinic for 15+3. It's big difference so im sure we have some money over

Wouldn't rule him out just yet, apparently:

Then God (Chiellini) help our left flank...

 

[ZoSo]

Then God (Chiellini) help our left flank...

Maybe Chiellini can play LB this season? Who knows, maybe Bonucci will play well.

Also, if we buy Coates & Lugano a backline of: Lichtsteiner - Lugano - Coates - Chiellini may be possible.

 

[Trequartista]

Chiellini at LB

I think its because this deal became a open and shut case once Roma realized he wasnt going to stay. Roma were willing to bargain and Marotta finished the deal rather quickly even though its technically not official yet. While Vargas and bastos is more complicated due to Lyon not willing to bargain and we all know Fiorentina are not going to make is easy on us signing one of their best players. Losing Vucinic because of taking to long with either Bastos or Vargas would of just been idiotic.

 

[FlavioJuve]

Maybe we'll go for the cheap and sign Guardado instead for LW...
