Don't agree with Rashford looking worse on the right. But since Lukaku drops to the right, it will be unlikely Rashford to go there.

One footed players tend to struggle far more on their correct side I'd say.

We've seen Martial and Rashford rinse their full back on the left by going down the outside and putting in a cross or cut back with their left, and they're obviously comfortable cutting in on their right, which is the reason full backs have such a tough time dealing with them and end up getting beaten on the outside. When they're on the right, they're just not effective cutting inside, and the full backs know this, and are happy to just ensure they don't get beaten on the outside, making it very difficult for them to ever put a cross into the box.

Who are the other options in this position? For striker we had Lukaku/Morata, DM we have Dier/Matic/Fabinho(?) and CB we had Lindeloff/Keane but for this wing position I dont see anyone else but this guy being linked. There must be an alternative. Right?

Have a feeling that Perisic was the alternative to Griezmann. I think Griezmann would have played out wide if he joined.

I agree he might be the alternative, but not for the same position and that Griezmann would play out wide. Doesn't make sense, after such disastrous season of shooting, to further away from goal one of the best forwards in the world.

Made a right fool of Rudiger at 2:20
Seems to absolutely love this fake Cryuff/rabona onto his right, then back onto his left
 
I like how he uses his right foot to dribble, which creates the space for him to push it out away from the defenders to allow him to cross with his left. Its an advantage of being able to use both feet well.

I can see why we would get him. Him supplying to Lukaku makes so much sense with the right side being for Mkhi (when we deploy a 433).
Add somebody like Mata behind the striker when deploying a 4231. (dropping a DM for example when home to teams who will defend, and pushing Pogba back to play deeper).
 
He's pretty big and powerful for a football winger, that at the same time also has great pace. I dig that, it's almost like taking a page out of hockey.

With his technique and touch, it's a pretty neat combination. Kind of unique. Would probably thrive in the Premier League.

Surely Spalletti doesn't want to let him go unless he's forced to.
 
What I like about him is that he's so direct, always trying to outrun the opponent and take him on.

Yeah, there's something attractive in the way he plays, Mourinho would love that directness. And he would be a good and different answer to our lack of goals.

People who think his stats are unimpressive should watch this video. Some absolute sitters missed there, he'd surely have double assists every season if his team mates could finish

The biggest thing I take from this video is some serious doubt of the speed of Serie A fullbacks. Perisic is a quick offensive player, but he sure as hell could not outrun fullbacks in the Bundesliga that consistently and clearly.

From the looks of it, at least his crossing has improved in Italy, though, which was far from being one of his strong abilities in Germany.
 
I love the move from him being a waste of space to, he's perfect for us !
Let's be honest here, it's not an opinion poll, if Jose wants him then so should we.

How much more in the PL? People think he's going to come to the PL and outrun every PL FBs like the YouTube videos suggest and doing the same cut back trick all day long. Most FBs in the PL are very quick and it takes cleverness and skill to get the best of them these days ala Hazard, Sanchez, Coutinho et al.

If we buy him, it will be interesting to see how it turns out though
 
Spalletti on Perišić: "Per i giocatori distratti ci sarà meno spazio, per quelli attratti dallo stare nell'Inter ci sarà più spazio. Perisic per noi è un giocatore importante, noi ci contiamo. Vediamo cosa di ce lui, non mi aspetto che dica che vuole andarsene, sarebbe brutto. Vedremo che intenzioni ha. Ma me lo dite voi che può voler andar via, a me non lo ha detto nessuno. Ma poi noi siamo l'Inter e possiamo anche decidere di fare come vogliamo".

Basically, he's saying distracted players will have less space in the team, that Perišić is an important player, he's counting on him. Also, he's expecting what the player has to say, and he doesn't expect to hear Perišić wants to go, that would be ugly. But if he says so, Inter can still decide whatever they want.


Perišić was traveling today, so we might get news in the next few days, if he has the guts to tell it clearly to Spalletti and force the transfer.

I appreciate the different, realistic view on some of his abilities. Do you think the quality of his crossing improved or is it (also) a matter of having more time and space due to being able to dominate opponents with physical attributes? In other words, do you believe the quality of his crosses would decrease significantly if he was under more duress due to facing fullbacks that can match his speed?

Not really. Don't think he'd have much problems beating FBs if left 1vs1, and english defences give as much space and time on the ball as the italian's did last two seasons

He's improved massively since his dortmund days, simple as that
 
Not a fan of his at all.

Just don't think he's the type of player we need from out wide.

Yep and out of Salah just before that. His acceleration is obscene to be fair. A number of times it looks like he has no right to get on the end of his kick and run and a defender thinks about intercpting then relaiss that "shite hes actually going to skin me here". He shielded the ball with great strength there as well as most players would have gone flying with the oppo trying to scythe him down from behind while he was on the turn.
 
With almost everyone on the caf (myself included) not wanting Perisic, watch him come and be our best player of the season.

I just adore how direct he is.
If Inter could actually finish, he'd have 10+ extra more assists than what he finished with last season.
He really does look like a perfect wing fit for Lukaku.

I reckon Perisic will be a hell of a signing - just looks as if he'll be productive at both ends for us.
 
Really want this transfer to go through. especially after getting Lukaku. He's fast, he's tall, he's good in the air, he can cross with both feet and can shoot with both feet, he's direct and he's strong. Made for the epl. Really hope we make a deal with Inter for him.

I mean, we don't have any other winger, he'll certainly be our best, get it? :p

Oh, right. Yeah. But that just shows how much we need a player like him, doesn't it? There don't seem to be many options on the market. Nobody is selling great wingers for reasonable fees.

Also to add, he's very quick, good for counter.

I think we'd flourish as a counter attacking team, we're good enough defensively to soak up pressure and our attack has looked its most exciting (IMO) when Martial/Pogba/Mkhitaryan are breaking. Lukaku is also a very good on the counter, we could be seeing a transformation in our tactics for next season, the players we look to be signing suggest we're looking to transform into a counter attacking team.

Lingard, for all his annoyance, also makes great counterattacking slaloms.

But I would prefer we would go for something more stylish, more fast transitions than proper sitting back and counterattacking.

Yeah, forgot about Lingard, he is good on the counter too.

To be honest I still think we're a season or two off playing really great football, we need that X-Factor number 10 to link the attack and midfield for us to become a really exciting team to watch I think, hopefully Griezmann/James Rodriguez, someone in that mould.

We had a good spell around December, the football was great then. But those home draws killed us and Mourinho ended up backing out.

We did, I think it's because Carrick allowed Pogba and Herrera to push forward and create better opportunities without having to worry about their defensive duties. So a really good DM is also an option as opposed to a number 10. Basically, 3 in midfield can help us be a really good team.
 
There is a sudden shift on the forum's outlook on this transfer. Seems like the Lukaku signing puts this into better perspective as a terrific combination.

If Shaw finds his form and fitness our left flank would be extremely balanced and productive with Perisic.
