No, it doesn’t prove that. Lots of players may be benched, but for other reasons than their quality.

And please, stop overrating Bastos. He is good, but not that good. Considering he will be our major coup in midfield and for that price :yuck:

I'm not overrating Bastos but for you to say signing Elia instead is silly, because he's no where near as good as Bastos. We moan about average players all the time.

What price? I'm not aware one has been set in stone yet.

All reports claim it will be over 15M, which is way way way expensive for him. Tons of cheaper, better, younger and more talented are available. Why the fuck are we interested in Bastos at that miserable time our squad having? We need guaranteed quality with potential to lead this team.

This I agree with. I would not pay over 15 Million for him, but if we get him for around that then that would be ok.

However Marotta's words made me think '' Bastos we are very interested in but he is NON EU ''

This leads me to believe we already have a player ''in hand'' who is not EU registered that we want to use that spot for. Unless Bastos gets a French passport I don't think the deal will happen.

Am I the only one who would trade Buffon for Menez? I find it very attractive. Matri for Gila is bullshit, ignore that.
Why are we constantly linked with Gila, do the papers enjoy pissing us off?
I'd honestly find it hard to accept us trading Buffon for anyone short of Messi to be honest. He's a hero as far as I'm concerned and still has many years left in him, just look at Van der Sar fir example.

Unless someone can catagoricly prove that Gigi's back problem will plague him for the rest of his career, I really don't think he should be sold, especially not for someone as average (in comparison) as Menez

You guys don't get it, we are getting Bastos who will not occupy an Non EU as he will pull a passport from somewhere and getting Neymar..
No, man. Even Neymar doesn’t deserve our non-EU spot, he will get a Portuguese passport.

Our non-EU player will be Naldo, loan with option to buy for 21M.
