He must be absolutely terrible then, as it seems like the majority of posters think he's extremely average and don't want him.

I don't get it, do we have to buy an Inter player? It's like Mourinho never bought a winger that was spectacular on the left to use him on the right…
I fully agree with selling him for the quoted amounts as I don't consider him to be anywhere near worth that. But that was not the question here. Inter obviously values him differently and as long as 45 or 50 million pounds are not enough for them, Perisic has to continue to act professionally.
As for us, I also agree, it's time to move on. We have a massive scouting department. Surely there must be other options available.
Mourinho visited him in a Croatia international game and met his agent. This is well beyond scouting now.
lets put on a poll
This is a typical Mourinho “discovery” and insistence that might, all things considered, prove to be bad or not good enough. Nevertheless, can the club afford to negate him this new toy?
Apparently, Spalletti and Inter directors are so worried about the players' behaviour they are considering letting him out of the China tour. I think the deal will be concluded in the next few days, unless the clubs break their relationship completely.

Fair enough.
To be more accurate and fair, people underrate our players more than they overrate Perisic.
Doesn't exactly look thrilled to be with his inter team mates does he...
hopefully a sign things are moving along in the background
I think you all are seeing little bit too much in that picture. He is Croatian, and it is in our nature to lean on the wall or whatever you can lean on or to sit or lie down whenever it is possible. Saves the energy.
Can't do white text on the phone. Damn it.

I wasn't talking about us scouting for alternatives now but rather having alternatives lined up now. I mentioned the scouting bit just to point out that Perisic can't be the only suitable winger for us.
It's shocking how the opinion on Martial has crashed so dramatically.
It's not shocking, its typical caf thing. There will be small section for every player, they will be loudest when the player isn't playing well.
That's not too bad...
I bet Woody's thinking as long as its under £40m (£39,600,000 or something daft) - we won't look like COMPLETE tits.
He was one of the player that impressed me most in last year's Euro, so I'm not too negative, but then I'm old enough to remember Karel Poborsky.
A lot of the fans are still in the honeymoon phase with Mourinho and eat up everything he says/suggests. He clearly dislikes Martial so now it's accepted wisdom that he's shite.
Rather put the money towards a crazy deal for Sanchez but if its Perisic or no one, I've come to accept it's an upgrade on most of the wing options we currelty have, in fact our only recognised natural winger is ashley young.. get it done for under 40m
Mikis numbers were similar in comparison last year. He made the rest of our attack (apart from martial) look sh1t with his stats. I thought miki was decent last season but could do better. Peresic will be 30 the season after next. He needs to hit the ground running I feel.
I don't think that Inter value him differently. I believe that they know the player's real worth. However if they sell Perisic and they end up with a winger version of the Borja random guy then there will be a fans revolt. Inter fans aren't like our fans. They don't embrace shit players because they are tall and they work hard and they certainly won't settle for an Ashley Young while their cousins are busy buying a Hazard! They need alot of £££ so they can buy Perisic muppet replacement.
He scored more goals and had 1 less assist...compared to those 3 players combined. It's obvious Perisic will improve the team and be the only natural winger. He's good for United.
Just find out whoever Dortmund are scouting for the left wing at the minute and sign him instead. We will be linked with a 50 million e bid in 2 seasons anyway : p
I joke I joke. We have the potential in martial. This is the player the manager wants and part of what he thinks can make us successful again. Give it to him and let's see how we go. I think a few of us will be pleasantly surprised if it all clicks into place. The fee is horrible but it's not our cash and never will be. All we can do is enjoy what's put on the pitch in front of us at the end of the day.
He played almost twice as much as Martial and only has 2 more assists when the entire caf agrees that our finishing was poor last season. And bare in mind that playing constantly and not fearing the bench helps a lot.
We shouldn't base our opinion on that table but if we did Martial is a better candidate.
Who is this dude ? Reliable?
Given that Martial had 17 goals and 11 assists the season before as a 19/20 year old in a LVG United team that were offensively dreadful, Martial would have probably ended up with 20 goals and 15 assists last season had he played for say Roma or Napoli. Inter however were pretty poor going forward as well, so Perisic's numbers aren't the worst.
He had decent stats but it was in a league where Alejandro Gomez had sixteen goals and ten assists. He was also 'outperformed' by the likes of Salah, Callejon and Immobile.
The stats aren't that impressive when you consider just how average that league really is.
The premier league isn't brilliant but our attacking players were still rubbish.
Stop peddling this as though it's fact. Throughout his career, Mourinho has frequently dropped and criticised players he rates and thinks very highly of specifically to test their character and get the best out of them. Mourinho's treatment of Martial by no means indicates conclusively that he doesn't like him. If anything, its more likely he sees enormous potential and is trying to turn him into the player he knows he can be.
They certainly were which is exactly why I want us to improve on them. I don't think Perisic does that.
We need guile in our attacking play, not a kick and rush merchant who will cross the ball ten times a game.
Relying only on martial for the left wing role would be foolish. Another option with pace, ability to cross, and capable of scoring goals would hardly be a bad one.
Ok, fair enough: he criticised Martial and was clearly disappointed with his performances. Therefore, a huge section of the Caf stopped rating Martial.
Martial was quite rubbish this past season.
Especially relying on someone who didn't look like they gave a flying feck for most of the season.
And we shouldn't. We should upgrade that position.
Errm... So Rashford must be your least favourite player then?
If Martial continues playing like he did last season, Perisic would be an upgrade.
Like all our attackers except Ibrahimovic. But only Martial's stock dropped significantly on the Caf. His end product was on a similar level to Rashford's but the latter is rated much higher.
That's why we are getting him, because he seems a finished (good enough) product, also psychologically.
There is nothing to support those claims beyond Mourinho being in croatia (and watched a game that perisic was absent from) and meeting with Mijatovic who is not Perisic's agent AFAIK.
