So which way does that work @JPRouve? Is it still €70 million in the end or it it €50?

I'd imagine the add ons will be appearance based.

Based whether City win the League. In the end I'd say it will be closer to €70 million than to 50.

According to rumours, Perisic is 45m euros + bonuses

We don't know at the minute though. Lets just wait and see. No point in losing your mind over something that may or may not happen.
 
We like to pay double or even triple the value for players, so I don't see a problem with the figure quoted.

What worries me is that Perisic is bang average and we have tons of those.
 
Based on what?
Based on rational thinking. We all know deep inside that this isn't going to happen. Mourinho has a lot of money to spend and is able to attract world class players. No way would be pay ~£40m for a 28 year old winger who hasn't stood out in a league that PL clubs generally should be wary of buying from.

That's why I am talking about the rumour. I am not anti Perisic. My only 2 concerns are

a- the rumoured fee
b- bringing a player at the wrong end of their career to the EPL. As Mou once said, this is the worst league for a player to start toning down

I don't know, RMC(bouhafsi) said 50m + 20m in bonus, I don't know what the bonuses are.
 
I leave for a couple of hours and we are linked to this guy. Not happy at all. He is well "decent" at best. I think this gives belotti rumours credibility also as we will need his dribbling and crossing to get belotti finishing. Having seen some games of the guy when he was linked to us, i thought he was a minor upgrade on Ashley young. paying 40 million for him is stupidity. Hope this rumour is just that a rumour or the price is 30 million max.
 
This would be an awful signing but the best way too soften the blow would be if it's to use him as a wingback in a 3-5-2, it's not a great system but solves our striker problem to a degree.

I think we'll still be playing a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 system. There are advantages in signing a 28 year old winger as he can immediately slot as LW without ruining Martial's chances for the first team too much. As said my concern is his inexperience in the EPL and the fee
 
They usually are appearances and success related.

We all know that but it still doesn't say anything about the 20m, how many games, trophies, goals? It could be easy to trigger or difficult, the thing we know is that Monaco will get around 50m at the very least, the rest is up in the air.

That's softening the blow for you? I don't mind signing him unless it is for that crackpot tactical setup.
 
He could be a decent player for us but anything above £20m is seriously overpaying. He's a 28yo workmanlike winger for a team that finishes 7th in Italy. He has never showed anything exceptional either.

I don't mind the player at all, if Mou thinks he's the player he needs so be it. It's the price touted that I find hard to agree with.
 
I'd rather we go with quality over quantity, being one of the best players at Inter nowadays is the equivalent of being one of the best players at West Brom but with a past history so no thanks.

For the money being quoted (£45 million or around that) we could get Alexis Sanchez as he's got a year left on his contract, I believe Sanchez is the same age but has the advantage of being proven in our league as one of the very best attackers and in a position we need to strengthen in and also being a genuine upgrade on what we have.

I think the system allows for Rashford and Martial to rotate as strike partners with Griezmann, Peresic isn't good enough to be anything much but at least in this system we'd focus more on his defending.

Yes, it allows Rashford and Martial to play as strike partners for Griezmann, neither can lead the line but I think both would thrive in a 2, so if we must buy a mediocre winger then we might as well get the most out of his best asset which is his defensive workrate and play a system that allows our 2 brightest young forwards to get regular game time without another #9 being bought.
 
Have you seen much of perisic? Is he any good? Also pjaca wont leave juve. Tough start with injury and all but he is potentially a world class player, no way juve let him go.

He was one of their best players in the first half of the season. One who actually gave a feck unlike many of Inter players. Second half, he was inconsistent as Inter just had a disastrous end of the season.
I would say he would be an asset for any top team and is better than any of current United wingers.
 
Generally a bit apprehensive about signing wingers and full backs from Italy. See Salah, Cuadrado & Darmian. I reckon if you have a little bit of pace, you look like a god in Serie A. Then get found out in a more athletically gifted league.

Such a silly statement. Then why don't all Serie A sides just buy cheap pacy players from the Championship? Instead, Juve chooses to invest in players like Pirlo, Khedira and Dani Alves for success. Why?

Salah and Cuadrado have both performed very well in European cups as well, including against EPL sides. Darmian is doing pretty well for you recently and has never been a pacy player. His best NT performance ever was against England...
 
Love Croatian players in Juve. Loved that Mandzu extended his contract, very happy with his performances.
Yeah I think he's really happy there, fans love him, Allegri found him a great position in which he shines. It has been brilliant for him at Juve. He gives his all all the time and the fans love it. Wears the heart on the sleeve.
Hopefully Pjaca will be back soon, he's a real talent.
 
If we're going to spend €45m+ on an Inter player, it should be on Icardi, not Perisic.
tell me about it. at least take their best player.

Wouldn't mind him, left footed, good engine and lighting quick, but 40m, jeez
I am amazed Inter Milan were so audacious to set that asking price and amazed that we may even pay it. If wr get Griezmann aswell then its not so bad as we still have Zlatan. If Zlatan leaves and Perisic is supposed to be the goalscoring threat to support Griezmann then I am not excited in the slightest

He's a decent player, but too old to be spending big money on.
28 year old winger from Serie A. might as well sign Cuadrado

Could get Sanchez for that money, he's good but not that good
Sanchez must've told us no or Arsenal would not sell him to us. Thats the only thing that could justify this option. Sanchez plays wide, scores loads, plays CF, scores loads. Also has an engine. We are needing players of the Sanchez/Hazard class and Perisic most certainly is not that.
How thoroughly underwhelming if this is one of our 4/5 primary targets.
I just don't get it.
 
How reliable are premiumsport?I have never heard of them? The italian King di marzio hasnt said a word on this, if it is in Italy anddi marzio doesnt say anything, be sure it just is Rumours.
 
Can't help but feel he's being very harshly rated here because he isn't some big name or genius wonderkid.

Think he'd be good for us, stylistically I think he suits the league and at the very least will work hard and be an upgrade on our current wingers (or lack thereof).

Genuine wide threat. Always liked him at international tournaments. Would be pleased to see him in a United shirt if the price is right.

The fear is real. many here are so underwhelmed they are literally refusing to believe in this.

I want to know that too. Cause all this panic over a shit source would be hilarious.
 
This rumour doesn't make sense on any level. Pretty sure you lot can cancel whatever collective muppet suicide you're currently planning.
 
What is your opinion on him, since you are from croatia?
He's a good player, a true winger, very, very fast, good technique and a good dribble on him, has a nose for goal too. All out winger.
He's the 2nd best player for our NT, after Modrić and our 2nd most important player.
Thing is, he's a bit inconsistent and sometimes goes MIA in some games.

On one hand we could do better on the other I think he could shine in PL and under Mourinho.


- thing is even Croatian papers aren't reporting it and they'd jump on any source, even the shittiest ones, about a Croatian player going to a club of United's stature.
There was already some talk about him coming few months ago and it just died out.

Barcelona, Real, Chelsea, Bayern, Juventus, Athletico? Why would he be an asset? there are players in his position who have achieved far more and made a much bigger impact in a lesser time. There are players in his position who are far better at everything. He would be a good asset from the bench no doubt but I would be surprised to see Real competing with Perisic in the starting line up

I really doubt this premiumsport source, if it had any legs on it, other italian channels including sky italy, di marzio and even tancredi would have gotten in on it. Looks like agent created to get him a move or maybe just rehashed old BS.
 
Would rather we took a flier on some no-name from a random league, a la Ferguson's tactic, than a known quantity of Perisic's level.
