He wasn't a kid, he's nearly 29 now, he was in his mid 20's when was gotten rid of by those clubs, he's a primadonna who isn't very good and is already past the point of being forgiven for being inconsistent, which he is. This would be a horrible transfer whether you have watched him or not, I have seen him plenty of times and I don't care what Italian guy on Twitter says, who's to say they have seen more games than me just becasue they are Italian? Cable TV makes that type of thinking redundant. People here treat English pundits and football commentors as jokes for their lack of any real insight, and rightly so, the same should apply to other countries talking heads.

Pace, strength, 5 star weakfoot at minimum, can cross, can finish, can dribble and I think play both sides. Very inconsistent but we have Jose, I'm all for it. Similar case with Douglas Costa. And he's a beast on FUT.
Fair enough.
We're buying from Lidl while paying like we're buying stuff from Harrods
From the Inter forum:
^^ these are a couple and there might be more. The most concerning insight (for us as a potential buyer) was from another Inter fan on their forum:
He will be an excellent player to add to the squad. You seem to want a squad of A-Listers and don't quiet grasp the idea of having a balance of experience/youth/different qualities that will make us better in the long run.
If Mourinho wants him for the left, then no, he'll just be a complement to Martial. If he's going to play him like wrong-footed right-winger, like Di Maria in his Real Madrid, then maybe.
Aye, laughable price for a nothing player who is nearly 29, still hoping this will be squashed soon by a more concrete source, this would be about as shitty as it gets.
Surely we can do better than this. Average
How can anyone honestly want to see a 28 year old journeyman on the left wing when we have Martial. Even his attitude has been questioned in the past so you can't use that in Perisic's favour.
We already have loads of squad players and you don't pay this kind of money for a sqauddie, that's what Lingard is for, we haven't got a single A list attacker and only have one A list player outside of the backline and that's Pogba.
It would be hilarious if we get Perisic out of Inter's hands only for them to sign Bernardeschi. Now that's the type of player I wouldn't mind United to spend money more not this shit head
I'm sold.
wut?
ie an oldish meah talent on a reasonably high fee
He's better then Lingard. But there again, most wingers with a hint of talent are
ffs, he is Messi for Young. Don't be daft. Ok, maybe not Messi, but you understand me..
probably only Croatian player I don't shout and scream at when Croatia is playing.
You know him personally? Don't think so. You can say whatever you want about him, but not that.
Yes, because his last name is not ending with "inho", and he is not 12yrs old kid who just burst onto a sceene, so no, not good enough, we should only go for big names, world wide known names, we don't need hard working players, just those with more than 15 mil. followers on twitter. And it might help if Jose gets the message to read RC, and write a new list of players for ED, about cca 25 of them, that this forum would like to have, so that some drama queens in here can be happy. Because what the hell Jose knows, right? We here know it much better, less times you've seen a player play, more you know about him.
He makes it seem as if Inter is poor because Perisic wasnt performing, whilst I think it's more the other way round. Lazio, Juventus, Roma, Napoli, Atalanta are so much better and have all scored more than Inter bar Atalanta.
good on FM and Fifa, since consistency doesnt play a big role, only decent in real life. We have to pray Mourinho does wonders with him, otherwise he will be gone in 2 years. A big worry is he hasnt shown any sort of world class consistency since playing the Belgian League 7 years ago.
More signs of Mourinho wanting to buy underwhelming just potential squad players.
Im glad that you're not allowing your nationality bias influencing you
Man.
I'll trust Jose, but this is such an underwhelming signing, if true. He's almost 30 and isn't a world-beater by any means, nor will he get any better. It seems like a massively expensive squad signing to be honest. Pretty weird one, but oh well, let's get behind him at least. I know he's not a bad player, but I was expecting us to be aiming much higher.

I know it's not always fair to go by stats but they do help when looking at players at the business end of the team contributing towards goals.
Perisic seems to lag behind about 8-10 others who would probably suit us better. Hamsik, Insigne, Bernardeschi and Callejon included.

Agreed ofcourse, hope he could get Rojo'ed, we could do really well with such a winger of his type. Would do well in a counter attacking system but can also create out of himself, the consistency is worrying but let's not forget Inter is consistently shite or inconsistently average.
Please no. He would add nothing to our team.
That's the point though, Lingard is what the term squad player is for, you don't pay £40M for a slightly better squad player, we are littered with squad players as it is.
I'm saying it because it's true at Dortmund and Wolfsburg, and Inter fans are also saying he gave up mentally this season, that's a bad attitude as a professional sportsman, I don't need to know if he's nice to his Mom and walks his dog 3 times a day to make the comment on a football level.
Mourinho's track record with attackers isn't as good as with defenders though. I think that's one of his weaknesses as a manager.
He is the Croatian Podolski, he shows up for the national team.
We are weak out wide. Perisic is actually very good. Seen him in the flesh at the Euros. Do you honestly think we won't add more stellar names than Perisic. Cmon, this is just the start of it.
Left wingers I'd rather have than him:
-Ronaldo
-Neymar
-Sanchez
-Hazard
-Reus
-Sterling
-Coutinho
-Payet
-Mertens
-Carrasco
-D. Costa
-Brahimi
-Bruma
-Coman
-Lemar
-Balde Diao
-Son
-Lozano
-Forsberg
-Ronaldo
-Neymar
-Sanchez
-Hazard
-Reus
-Sterling
-Coutinho
-Payet
-Mertens
-Carrasco
-D. Costa
-Brahimi
-Bruma
-Coman
-Lemar
-Balde Diao
-Son
-Lozano
-Forsberg
Yes, he wouldnt be more expensive and would be good in the present and future. Plays also on the right wing, would be an excellent buy.
This probably isn't being as well received due to City just signing caf-darling Bernardo Silva.
I, too, am hurt at missing out on Bernardo Silva and negative towards this signing.

I think adding a £40M turd for the left when we need real, starting 11 talent is stupidity unless we are going to spend £350M this summer.
oh god no 
and for 40mio at that ? While we're at it lets go for Ilicic aswell
I mean the more the merrier

Never seen him play but i'm almost certain he's shit.
If he comes, then I'm happy. If he doesn't come then I'm happy. I trust Mourinho knows what he's doing.
Feck that, awful signing if true. His age and position really aren't needed.
Don't understand how we have so many experts on this player, but as is often the case at this time of year it's more than likely an unfounded rumour.
