Domino- 116 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Chelsea tracking Lyon ace - reportChelsea are keeping a close eye on Lyon winger Michel Bastos, according to reports in France.The 27-year-old Brazilian had looked set to stay with Lyon after a move to Juventus collapsed, but the Blues could be prepared to meet the £12m asking price for the player.Bastos can play on the left-wing or at left-back and his arrival could pave the way for Yuri Zhirkov to leave Stamford Bridge.He has also been linked with Tottenham and Liverpool.Read more: http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Chelsea-tracking-Lyon-ace-Michel-Bastos-report-article759795.html#ixzz1RFIOZr2s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 If we sell Zhirkov, this move would make sense, otherwise, he's 27 and isn't needed.He's very quick though, I'll give him that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Didn't know he was 27 tbh, but good player from the little i've seen of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Now this is one transfer I would certainly like to see go through if we sell Malouda or Kalou.He is fast, and a competent left-back as well as a very good attacking winger. If people need to know how he plays, think of Marcelo at Real Madrid. He is very talented with quick feet, excellent crossing ability and surprisingly strong. Huge work ethic for a winger as well, thanks to his boundless energy. For £12 million, this would be a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I take it, you are not a fan.He has a point though. Bastos is 27 and he should be owning the Europa atm, but all I can say for him is that he's decent. We can do much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teignman 441 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 From what I've seen of Bastos, he's a Brazilian Zhirkov, maybe a bit better. But not that much. Would love to be proven wrong if we end up signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I think he's quality, 12m seems a good deal to me. He's quick, has a stunning FK and adds a bit more brazilian culture to the squad. I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Would rather have a new Englishman then another unproven Brazilian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
