#6 Lindsay Rose – Bastia
Trending
Swapped with Lorient-bound Mathieu Peybernes, it’s hard to see what Bastia were thinking by getting Lindsay Rose in return. They traded a half-decent, regular starting defender for a part-time hit and hope who hasn’t impressed for a long time.
With their defence leaking goals left, right and centre, it’s alarming enough that Rose played just nine games since his move in January, including a 5-0 defeat to Guingamp. Injuries didn’t help either, finishing the season on the treatment bench, but this just seemed like an odd move from the beginning.
In the end, neither club managed to stay in Ligue 1, so the swap was for nought anyway. They might as well have exchanged Christmas cards instead, for all either was worth to their fight against relegation.
