Ivan Perisic

well said Sir. Do not forget "Bastian feeee*ing Schweinstaiger, when he joined everybody was over the moon as well, and not to mention DiFec*ing Maria too. That turn out well. I don't remember, but pretty sure Fellaini did not get this much stick. Or anyone else. I'm also sure if Ivan joins us, (fingers crossed) a lot of people here will eat their own words. Not only he will very quicky become fan favorite, but also very important player too.

If all those cases there was people shouting down those who were not entirely in favor sort of like what is happening here.
 
Sky are saying Inter expect Perisic to be on the plane to China tomorrow. Would be interesting to see if we'd maintain our interest if he goes on their pre-season tour or switch targets.
 
Set pieces, counter attacks and defense are better with him in the starting 11. Especially if he's stuck on the right wing and we keep Martial as the left wing in a 4-3-3

Anyone disagree? If so, please explain why.

I mean, Jose is one of the few top managers that puts as much importance on the defensive side of the ball as he does offense. Perisic fits that...at least if he can be a starter on the right side instead of Lingard.
Basically, Rashford is going to be a starter, not Martial. Perišić's compatibility with Rashford is the problem, not with (or it's the same with) Martial. From what I've seen, Perišić does a job on the right, but you can really feel he's not so at ease there. Would be the underwhelming of the underwhelming, unless Mourinho does a Di María on him. Does Perišić have the resources to, though?
 
On the subject of him and Lukaka forming a double act, is there any good evidence to suggest Lukaku is that good in the air at nodding in crosses? I'm not an expert on Lukaku. I'm hoping he's not one of these huge people like Fellaini or Crouch who actually isn't that good in the air.
ye. I mean fellaini had the 3rd highest headed duel % in the league last year but apart from facts ye he's brutal in the air.
 
Think he means he doesn't score that many goals with his head rather than him winning aerial duels.
he shouldn't have said 'isn't that good in the air' then as there are more factors to how good someone is in the air than goals scored. I don't see anyone saying Van Dijk isn't good in the air because he doesn't score goals

See a couple of sentences before I wrote that. It's fairly obvious what I meant.

Well, in the sentence before that he asked if Lukaku was good at 'nodding in crosses'
 
Bit worried now there are reports he'll be on the plane with Inter. Regardless of whether he's worth the money, he's better than our current 'wingers' and we don't seem to have an alternative, so it seems it's him or nobody.
 
Regardless of your opinion of the player, this situation is stupid. We've had plenty of time to make our offer/s, there comes a point when you have to walk away.

The point where the player goes to China on tour could be it.
 
Perisic is going to be a deadly foil for Ibra when he is back in December!!!
Will he be the Gareth Barry of our team, the missing piece for Liverpool to concur the league in 2009?? Mainly play on left midfield or left back, versatile, hardworker, at similar age, and a journeyman who never achieved anything?
 
I think there's a difference between hoping for the best in players without any evidence (you with Memphis and me with Darmian for example) and being overtly negative about players also without evidence (Perisic). I'm just basically calling out the latter, because the negativity is ridiculous in here. I get your point though.

I was also over the moon about Shaw too. :/

It wasn't blind faith though, I watched the likes of Memphis for about a year before we actually signed him.

This is another thing that people do that bothers me, how some just assume that all of the sceptics are just going off of the general vibe of the thread and a few youtube clips. Perisic is 28 and has played for a few big european clubs in his career and one of the stronger european nations. I think it's safe to assume that even more relaxed fans will have watched him from time to time nvm the devoted ones. The reported fee is just acting as a catalyst for alot of peoples scepticism, it provokes even me into harsher reactions. I think that if he was available for 30 million £ the reactions in this thread would be alot more understanding. At the same time I think he's become the symbol to many for a transfer window which has divided the caf overall, I reckon the Lukaku thread would've looked very similar if that saga hadn't been so much shorter. All of these things are of course unfair to Perisic as it's not in his control, he's a decent winger and we all know we need a player in his mould.

And Shaw can still turn it around mate. ;)
 
I could not be more happier if we get this guy for the 352 formation. Valencia and perisic as wingbacks; we would have one of the scariest flanks in the whole world.
Valencia and Perisic isn't even close - I'd even prefer Mane & Salah. The thought of just playing Hazard alone is "scarier", I'm sure I'm not the only one saying United should really have a world class winger, on one side at least.
 
If this lad signs there are more than a few who are going to look silly. Perisic is a very good player.
 
There will be a lot of foolish people in this thread when he comes in and does really well for us. Can't wait for the inevitable quoting.


Trouble is if he makes even 1 mistake in a match people will be jumping on him straight away to try and save face.

I'd rather trust our managers judgement and it seems Jose really want him and that's good enough for me

I've watched him since his dortmund days, I doubt he'd to take anyone by surprise if he came here. He does the basics well and that's pretty much it.
 
I'm pretty keen on this lad.

Always enjoyed watching him at the major tournaments.

Love watching United with pacey wingers.

Really Jose , have you decided this already ? Why exactly do you feel Rashford will start ahead of Martial especially if Martial can recover his form of two years ago ? No guarantee either will start , both have a lot to prove .

I think he is better than what you think buddy plus he's much better than the shite that's has been posted on this thread.

For United standard of recent times, he's more than good enough. That's why we're paying 40+m to get him.

As wingers I'd prefer mane and salah too - this is why I'm relatively sure that he would be played even occasionally at LWB.
