Well one thing that differentiates the two is that Bastion has has a top flight season in LaLiga where he scored 1 in 2. Libor never had anything like those numbers in his career.

ciggiesnbeer Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) I am worried he doesnt fit our recruitment philosophy. We have emphasized character , youth and talent this past year. This guy has been sent out on loan by his parent clubs for most of his senior career. Why? Edited January 31, 2020 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 In the circumstances, probably a decent signing. We just needed a replacement for Kodjia. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea paid big money for him based on his record in Spain (I believe he is still their club record signing?) but for whatever reason the move didn’t work out for him. He comes to us on a free and in his prime years, if we can get anything close to the form he was showing when he went to Swansea he will be a great value pick up on a free transfer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Quick peek at a swans forum and there’s some comments saying they wish him luck, he’s a nice guy that’s been treated badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biskitt Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 The way I see it is that Samatta will be first choice and then we have 2 options off the bench. Davies is great for those games were we are leading but need an outlet to hold the ball up, I know it sounds a bit daft but he's kind of a "defensive striker". Baston might be the player we bring on if we need a goal as he's probably more of a natural finisher and poacher than Davies (who struggles with that aspect a bit) If its a free, I don't have too much of a problem as we can probably sell him to a la liga team for a couple of million if it doesnt work out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be his face didn't fit, he may not have settled, etc etc. Being farmed out on loan (especially back to the home country) isn't necessarily a sign of a bad egg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) It’s the sort of deal that means we hold all the cards at least. Could be a bit of a ‘moneyball’ signing if he can find the form he showed to earn the big money move to Swansea in the first place.
