Bastos isn't Lyon's LB, Cissokho is - he only plays at LB for Brazil. Either way, I think this could be a great move for our left back position if we keep playing the 5-3-2/3-5-2/3-6-1 or whatever it is we're playing.
Imagine being able to pick from Kelly (could be used as a CB in the three man defence too), Insua, Johnson and Bastos as our wingbacks - all bar Kelly would benefit from being used in that role rather than a traditional fullback position and Bastos is equally confident playing further up the field too. All width could be provided by the wingbacks, we'd still have three centrebacks - not a bad move at all IMO. Dead ball specialist too!
