Scoring 10 goals and 10 assists is well into his prime now? Boy cant wait to see what he can do next year.If we sign him, I hope he is not our last signing for the summer.
79 tackles seems ridiculously high. Most tackles won in the entire team?
Not bad for a winger (wingback at times). As much as he wins the ball back, he is losing it with poor decision making though.
I think we are definitely going to sign a midfielder and a full-back wouldn't surprise me either.
Jaysus.
What an interesting player. Do Lazio high-press? Or is it just Felipe Anderson himself?Walker is PL proven, (one of) the best right back in the league for a while now, more marketable for United (England International), homegrown, younger, and he's bought from the 2nd best team in PL.
Meanwhile, Perisic...
Jaysus.
He's second in terms of most tackles won in Italy I forgot to add. Interesting is definitely the term I would use. He also made 55 interceptions (Kante made 82 last season). I've never seen a player that can be as frustrating as him and at the same time do so many good things. He's genuinely weird. They are definitely trying press as a team at times, but in terms of defensive contribution for a winger he's unique.
10 goals and 10 assists is a good return for a winger on a struggling team.
Gray isn't better than perisic. You are having a laugh
PL proven is nonsense, I don't pay any attention to it and don't consider it as something that should elevate player's value significantly. Contrary to popular belief, Premier League is not the NBA of football.
Perisic is an offensive player, they tend to cost way more than defenders, as proven by the fact that Walker is actually the most expensive defender ever.
Would you say Juventus struggled last year offensively as well?
But PREMIER LEAGUE EXPERIENCE.
They were way worse than Roma and especially Napoli in the league in that department for sure, so yes, they probably did struggle a bit. They had amazing defence though.
I don't understand that too. he is barely proven in the PL. His only goal for Leicester was in the 4-1 loss to us. Some people come up with insane ideas
I hope so my friend. Mourinho however, seemed adamant we are at most getting two more players in. I hope he is targeting another defensive midfielder and like you pointed out, another full back.
Ok, mate. We just disagreed on some points. But don't you think 50 or 48m for Perisic is overpriced? I know it's not our money, and the manager should get what he needs. But then, this is a forum where fans discussing things.
I'm not against signing Perisic, as our play down the wings are horrible, last season. I'm just expecting us to get better player at the quoted price. At cheaper price on 25m, like you said, would make his signing more acceptable as a gamble given his profile and fans expectation.
The max GD was 20 goals between highest scorers in Serie A and Inter. Juventus only scored 77 goals and Inter 72. So Inter back me shit at the back but going forward they arent bad.
Tbh given the current market I would say it isn't. Walker 50m, Dier 60+m and a market where a £61m offer is not enough to get Juve to even enter negotiations for Alex Sandro.
unfortunately i wouldn't trust any of those sources
I think the general thought behind PL proven is that it's a very physical league and players with a certain toughness generally fair better. Anyone using this argument against Perisic however has clearly never seen him play as he's tough as old boots, perfectly suited to the prem.
So let the club worry about the price. Youre not one of the financial advisors.When did I say I was putting my own money in to it?
So is the old fart/turd coming?
United have needed a player to provide width who can hug the touchline and stretch the play for a long time.
Glad to see Jose has realised this and is seeking to rectify it with the signing of Perisic.

Not surprised after watching the highlights of Perisic. He fits the bill for Mourinho's 4-3-3. In the mold of Damien duff/arjen robben back in the day.
Would make sense and he does look like a decent option on the wing. Im sure he works his bollocks off defensively too which is all important to Mourinho.

That's just paper talk, though. Pogba was quoted close to 100m, where actual transfer was around 70m. I know that Perisic's price was paper talk also, so we're discussing him at the quoted price.
Tbf, all things considered, I wouldn't mind for United to spur 50m for LB equivalent of Walker. It's a bit overpriced, but it's worth the gamble in the long run.
PL proven isn't all that matter, but it's still a plus point to have over an unproven one. It would be silly to think otherwise.
But that's just it isn't it, round hole square peg thing. Its like Moyes buying Mata when we have a zillion 10's in the team. We spent what, $75m? On lukaku only to need to spend more to get the most out of him.
Its like buying ronaldo then buying benzema to get the most out of ronaldo??? Talking conceptually here.
BTW I'm not against this or lukaku's signing I'm just saying the club has spent a lot and I'm hoping its not the round hole square peg thing.
Don't you think we should buy a DM in part to get more out of Pogba? That's precisely how you build around your best players, by buying pieces that complement their abilities.
I'm not amazed by Perisic as a standalone player but he would certainly add a unique dimension to the team that would work in concert with someone we expect to be leading our team for years to come.
Doesn't Inter's tour start tomorrow?
Haven't you heard? Deadwood is the new word!

Bang average player who wouldnt improve our starting XI. The fact that he is 28 and is not wanted by any other big clubs says it all
He definitely does add something different to the team and yes I do think it would be nice to have a DM in the team for pogba. I think that's a fair comment but the only thing is I don't think pogba changes our style but can still fit into the team.
they leave for Asia tomorrow. Hoping we get this done before they leave. Either that or he stays back until transfer deal is completed
Will be just like having Robben, even looks like him a bit.
The Sun were spot on about Lukaku and beat the RedCafe greats like Di Marzio to the news.

It really wont. Robben is one of the best players in the world; Perisic is nowhere near that level.
Oh Jesus Christ! Like RobbenWill be just like having Robben, even looks like him a bit.
dude, you have to trust him because he's part of Jose Mourinho's master plan - apparently he doesn't make poor signings. It doesn't matter the fact that Perisic is very clearly several levels below the quality you expect for Manchester United, what matters is if the manager sees him as someone that could fit into his team and improve it no matter how.
This is ridiculous the stick he gets on here. I would imagine some people just haven't seen him play or haven't noticed we don't actually have a left winger that's not Ashley young. An actual winger ( not a Centre forward playing on the wing). He will add alot to the team he has pace to burn , he is a work horse and most importantly he is very much a Jose type signing.
