Ivan Perisic

I completely trust Mourinho when it comes to two things: single-game tactics and signing players.

If Mou thinks Perisic is worth the money, then I don't doubt it for a second.

I keep seeing this. Mourinho has gotten plenty of transfers wrong
 
Ivan Perisic will make a lot of people here take back their words. He will be a hit under Jose.
 
some people are going to eat their own words if he signs. I'm convinced he would be a big hit here. he hasn't even sign for us yet and he's already a cult player on caf, especially after all this mess with Griezmann :lol:

Of course he has. Just like every other manager - dead or alive. But he is undoubtedly one of the most successful when it comes to buying the type of players that help him build winning teams. He's got it more right than wrong.

Oh Antoine Griezmann was a fecking tease man!

No idea how to make Perisic rhyme with anything though.
 
He's an average player, spin it all you want. For lesser, we can get better wingers like Bruma & Gelson, I'll even have Douglas Costa and Moura over him and I don't rate those too very high.

We hope. Or it could be like when he signed Quaresma at Inter, only this time the fee is meant to be even bigger, even allowing for inflation. Hope you're right obviously!
 
We need a LW more than a RW because in Jose plan, the one responsible for providing the width on the right is Valencia not the RW. It's not a disadvantage of players, it's because Jose wants the RW to join the midfield and give Valencia space to rush forward and cross. Mikhi, Mata and Lingard can do this job but on the other side, he wants the LW to stick on the flank to provide width, especially when playing a LB that is only concerned with defense behind that LW. He tried Martial in this job and he failed as the only thing he does on the flank is to try to beat the next defender till it fail. Martial style of play is suited to cutting inside, which isn't what Jose wants him to do especially when giving the RW instructions to cut inside and joint the midfield. This devoid us of any width bar Valencia.

If you are going to play with Jose's classical 4-2-3-1, then yeah signing a LW to provide width makes perfect sense for me more than RW. The debate is whether Perisic is good or not or what we can find a better replacements for him for the job Jose wants him to do on the left, but in the tactical point of view, we do need a LW that always provides width to the team and allows the LB to set back defensively as Jose wants, otherwise, we'll get stuck with all our players crowded in the midfield with r trying to cut inside with only Valenica as a flank player, and this gives us troubles against any parked buses.

Searching for such a player makes perfect sense, whatever Perisic is up to it or not, Jose thought he is up to it then let's see.
I've been meaning to say the same thing, but didn't fancy explaining it to posters who've already decided Perisic is the Croatian Young or Lingard or whatever. Kudos to you mate!

Another factor here is Pogba. If we play a defensive LB plus Perisic, the defensive responsibility on Pogba is slightly less. This will help him play more attacking, even in a 4-2-3-1.

Overall, a good tactical signing. It will be interesting now to see which type of forward we go for. My guess would be (predictably) target-man.

No rhyme, but here's a chant written in the pessimistic nature of the Caf(in the melody of "Spiderpig"):

Perisic!
Perisic!
Does whatever a Perisic does!
Can he score from the wing?

No he can't
He's not Griez
Lookout!
He comes from Serie A!

Still doesn't take away from the fact that he's built some very good sides that formed the core of future teams at Real and Chelsea. Whatever happens Mourinho;s signings will define this side years beyond his reign.
 
So is this West Brom class winger signing with us for £240m or not?

He's an average player, spin it all you want. For lesser, we can get better wingers like Bruma & Gelson, I'll even have Douglas Costa and Moura over him and I don't rate those too very high.

Look at these evergreen fountains of optimism. Fills my heart with hope.

That's terrible.
 
It isn't a sexy signing but is makes a lot of sense! the squad lacks width, which he will bring.

Get it done and move on the the next player on the list.
 
Not many can roast Kyle Walker on the outside..

That's true for all managers. Mourinho still has a good record.

He's got it more right than wrong.

So like most top managers then? So why do people keep using it as a bullet point to dismiss concerns regarding transfers as if mourinho is infallible or has a significant better record than other top managers?

Perisic is an uninspiring transfer for many fans and it's ok to admit that
 
Peris ic ic ic, he’s better then Bosnich
Peris ic ic ic,surely he’s Griezmann’s bitch
To the left to the right, all the muppets had just died
He’s a charm, what’s the harm,
having Rooney as no 9?

You didn't mention Fellaini so it's not funny as your other great jokes.

his surname is far too long to insert!

Seriously mate, what's wrong in throwing a joke or two in this ocean of muppet desperation?

People have a right to express their concerns and Jose is not infallible. Not at all. But he's one of the best at building winning teams. Some folks here sound like he must be dumb or something considering the way they describe Perisic. If Perisic is as bad as they describe, then Jose must be absolutely pathetic in scouting players.
 
Dirk kuyt in disguise. 50m for a 28 year old dirk kuyt duplicate haha. Perisic would be a good signing for 15m

I like jokes as much as the next one but your jokes are always the same. Rooney at 9 and Fellaini at 10.

No hard feelings.

@Ban

should I instead spend my time debating with someone like this guy whose got absolutely no idea what he's speaking about?
 
You have a point there TBH. I thought one Kuyt comparison will be enough but no.

that's the thing. People keep repeating the same crap over and over again. Shouldn't they end up reading my same crap over and over again? At least I present it in a relatively creative way (in my opinion that song is mint for example)

I can sympathise that people feel butthurt that we didn't buy that shiny toy they expected. However Perisic is nowhere similar to Park or Kuyt
