Agreed Fee for Bastos

[LBNo11]

..."We've got Micky, Micky, Micky Bastard on the wing, on the wing"...

[elgreenio]

has Bastos cut his diving tendancies out though? wouldnt like to see that at the Cottage

[hopper]

probably hasn't no, no worse than dempsey though.

Lyon aren't actually in CL this year, after years of being massively overcharged for mediocre mercenaries (Mensah, Makoun, Keita, Bodmer, Cissokho) Lyon are in financial turmoil and need to sell

[westcliff white]

just watchng the live transfer update n Sky and they sy fulham claim they have not enquired or offered for Bastos, however lyon say we have but no fee agreed as yet. very strange

Just seen that myself. For the one and only time I hope Fulham are telling porkies.

According to four four tweet we failed to sign Bastos

I get the impression with this one that Sky et al have latched on to a rumour. I'd be very surprised if he joins us. Nevertheless I have my fingers crossed!

This would be amazing if it did happen. We would be making a real statement today with this type of signing.

The Haha's can sign all the players they want if Jol can pull of deals like this we'll be the ones laughing once again.

[TWFL]

Don't think it's going to happen. The usually reliable Gary Jacob has tweeted that the deal is dead..

[ElissonSnygg]

Sky still says that there are interest.

French football expert Matt Spiro with the latest from Ligue 1: "Lyon have turned down Fulham's request to sign Michel Bastos on loan, according to several reports in France. The Ligue 1 club are only prepared to let the Brazilian winger go in a permanent deal and are understood to want at least £7m for him."

7 for Clint then sign????

Where has he said this? Not on his Twitter feed. Not that I don't believe you of course.

Understand the skepticism.  Probably not true, but worth the post?

[supersimmo123]

Deal is off... He has been named in the Lyon squad for there game this weekend..

[General]

...? Same price, same sort of position, same age even...

Apparently we went for a loan move... would that change if Dempsey moved on...?! We need more CM's though.

[MasterHaynes]

Seems a fair deal, come on Liverpool you take our USA international and we buy the Brazilian International
