Ah ok thanks.
Ivan Perisic

Not my ideal player, mainly because of his age. BUT...with Lukaku in the team, he will get a lot of assists from Perisic. If there is one thing Perisic knows how to do, its to get crosses into the box.
So - yeah I ll take him even if he is not my favourite player.

I just nearly forgot that he also played for Dortmund and Wolfsburg. Feels wrong to spend so much money on a 28 year old who didn't really impress over the years, but...
(a) I trust Mourinho. He knows what he is doing when it comes to transfers.
(b) Maybe it's just a red herring. Perisic, Perisic, Perisic, and suddenly - BOOOM - it's James.

And on top he'll give competition to Martial and both will up their game. Not having a true winger did hurt us last season. The only player who seems to be able to swing a cross was Rashford (last season).
So Perisic would have cost less if we tried to sign him earlier ? Why wait then ?
It feels like we keep matching Inter's valuation, and then they ask for more.
55m Euros for Perisic is a bad deal. We should walk away. Juventus look to be bagging Douglas Costa for 20m less.
I know player fees and valuations shouldn't be directly compared, but Costa is a much better player who has done it on the biggest stage. Perisic was average at Wolfsburg, who went to inter for less than 10m. What has he done in a couple of years to make him a 50m+ player? Is it just because United are involved?

I hope he colours his hair red similar to what he did during Euros and piss some people off.
I think City briefed the price without add ons. Bouhafsi tweeted the price is 70 Million Euros.
Hard to see how we'll close the gap to our rivals by buying players who aren't as good as theirs. I guess Jose has a very specific role in mind for him.
I think this guy's on the B list (like Morata was)
We must be waiting for the A target (not sure who... Bale, maybe?) to be ruled out before completing the move for Perisic.

I really hope he does, for his sake as with such a price comes HUGE expectations.
Those are the hallmarks of players who feature lower down the league table e.g. at sides around 7th place! "Inconsistent but works hard". If you are going to play for a title challenger, the expectations will be even greater than at Dortmund. I agree, and extra 25 mill for Alexis makes the most sense, but something tells me he isn't for sale, at least not for us.I wouldn't mind us getting him. I like his pace and power plus he works hard. Yes he might frustrate us because he might be inconsistent but i would rather inconsistent and work rate than a supposedly more talented Martial who doesn't look interested alot of the time and doesn't seem to put in a shift imo. But if the fee is 55million, I'd prefer Utd to find a extra 20 to 25 million and try for Alexis
Are they accurate though? Ashley Young used to fling balls into the box to no avail and many have suggested he can cross aimlessly too. To be fair, when he plays he will get support from the home crowd. Its the opp fans that will give him stick and call him a £50mill flop at the games
would like James at 10

There's some sense in there. Honest.
absolutely no way should we be doing business at the prices quoted.
It's such a lot of money for someone who doesn't have Ppremier league experience who doesn't have age on their side. It might take him a year to adapt easily!
For that sort of cash we should be knocking on Leicester's door about mahrez. He'd actually kick up a fuss to leave and let's not forget he has a league medal to his name so is proven and would hit the ground running.

At least red herring is a different phrase than smokescreen.
I reckon that if we wanted Perisic/James/even Fabinho we could have them already. Leads me to believe that we are working on other targets behind the scenes like Lukaku and will only wrap up any of the others once our first choices are definitely unavailable.
we gambled on inter's FFP situation
Good thing is, he offers us something completely different. How many times were we desperately trying to break down inferior opposition and we just had nothing up are sleeve bar putting Fellaini up top? He's not the best player in the world, but he undoubtedly gives our attack another dimension.
No getting around the fact that the fee is absurd, but I personally don't care.

When did we last buy a more simple and basic winger? Young? We're overdue, the squad needs a player like him.
So every offer we put in they keep going higher, and inter still keep putting bread on the ground for united to follow. When united show complete inept bargaining skills hinting they may pay more, of course inter will keep playing united off has fools which united have showed. You would think by now united would move on, instead of wasting time on this comical saga
AFAIK there really was no FFP situation we could take advantage of - Inter did not sell any other player to comply.
I feel Greizmann was target A.
Thats what I think too - We're waiting to see how either Sanchez, Bale or Costa to Atletico (Griezmann to us later) pans out.
If not, we would have paid up now to take him on preseason
I'm not so worried about that tbh, look at how Leicester won a PL title without players anywhere near as good as their rivals? Or how Atletico have enjoyed success in La Liga and in the CL without having the finances or the squad depth of those they are competing against. 11 committed players working effectively as a unit under a clearly defined tactical plan, will generally offer far more consistency, increase belief and gather momentum more often than 11 more talented, but less consistent individuals. That's why Arsenal can't win the league!
Zaha probably.
Yes they did, they sold several players for small amounts right before the deadline
I think he meant Bernardo Silva, not David Silva. Unless you genuinely mean that inflation in the last month was that significant.
They sold banega for 9m caprari for 15m Juan jesus for about 8m
75 million now ? For nothing players ? What has he done to be valued that much for Croatia for Inter ? What is his special skill ?
We will be laughed so hard. While City get Silva, with most of us has seen how good he could be, cheaper, we keep pushing for this meh player ?
No need to give all of Mourinho's list. Some posters have says, if crossing and hardworking is his best values, we already have Ashley Young.
75 millions, apocalypse seems coming too fast...

Haven't noticed you till now. Don't know how
Ah, my bad - Didn't check the departures section of transfermarkt
They sure did. This does seem like bad business on the outside - But again, if we're holding out for a bigger fish, then it might not have made great sense to buy Perisic early, locking that position. It smells as if Woody has promised Mourinho a really big player.
Resigned to what? Are you a regular Inter/Serie A watcher?
Your posts are rather boring with the same nonsense in every thread.
Lets agree to not waste each others time.
The price keeps rising for some retarded reason. They wanted 40m earlier, then 45, then 50, now 55?
At some point you just have to move on. Either these sources are talking bollocks, or Ed must reek of desperation every time we meet with them.

It's nuts - might as well add another 20m on top of the 55m and throw it at Arsenal for Sanchez.
Just press speculation as why it's taking so long IMO.
We will eventually settle between 30-40m I'm sure.
You mean lets agree to go with what everyone else says and not make our own mind up or trust that the manager has a clue what he is doing? Ok
Let's hope so anyway. Douglas Costa is joining Juve for about half of what we're paying. James joined Bayern for a 2 year loan with an option to buy for £30m...it just seems as if there's a massive tax for PL teams/United, look at what Sigurdsson is about to go for. You can bet your house that if Juve wanted Perisic he'd be going for around 20m.
No
Just would much rather not waste my time on someone who's only retort seems to be 1. Support another club 2. You haven't watch said player enough(Even when they have no idea what games or league said person follows)
If it was likely to lead to a mature debate I would be bothered. But I am not going to get any here in all honesty.
I do think the foreign clubs are banding together and demanding huge sums out of PL clubs out of spite.
They're all jealous of PL spending and know they've got cash to burn.
The bubble has to burst at some point. This can't be sustainable surely.
You only just found that out? Better late than never
