Like Griezman or Sanchez? I'd prefer a team of quality that has players who can win you titles and cups.
The bolded part isnt right, Chelsea havent really been linked with him. City have been, which suggests he is open to Manchester. We're one of few clubs to be able to match his pay demands, more so than Bayern, who are known to have a very rigid pay structure. Wenger selling to Mourinho isnt really a consideration when your best player can walk away in 6 months.
well said to add ur messages sir
So u haven't seen Perisic played in Wolfsburg? I guess u haven't seen Memphis in PSV either.
fair enough If we could get either of them brilliant but I can't see either signing for us in this window . So I think we are trying to put together a team that will be a solid hard working team in which Perisic would fit well . The likes of Moratta ( even at the reported 73 million, crazy Market) and Perisic are not Marquee signings as such but they will be effective in my opinion .
yes?
I wonder what people think of Forsberg? Hes got that acceleration and low centre of gravity, direct like Hazard but I guess he likes to cut in too much and playmaker rather than hug then line.
Just because you ask for a price doesn't mean people will buy it. I mean you could put an arbitrary price on absolutely anything.
Perisic is way better then Young ever was come on

So is he a David Beckham replacement then?
If you mean by replacing him as the only player who can be a winger in our squad, then sure, but then you could say signing Dembele or Bale would be a young replacement as well. We need wingers in our squad and that's why I've always been all for this signing if it happens.
I agree, I just don't see it as the hallmark of a title winning attack. I agree that it will be far harder for us to sign top players and that getting in the champions league won't count for much as all the good sides are there already. maybe we can raid teams like RB Leibzig or Monaco cos at least their players were playing for a good side at a decent level, as opposed to players from sides just above mid table.
I have seen almost every other match of Memphis at PSV, Im an Ajax fan and Memphis was my favourite player at the time. They arent similar and Perisic is better.
They know we are desperate and got loads of money and will pay over the odds. If say Marseille was after him he would be sold probably 10 million euros less as they know they had a ceiling. Saying that we might have got him for a bit less but the new manager wants to keep him according to the press
Because oppo fans can bring it up if they don't play well.
They do they have stuck to their price and we are the ones increasing our bids, and not walking away.
50m is the old 25m. Everything has doubled yo...and some tbh. The market is crazy. 70m was gonna be the sum for VVD ffs.
There's also the "United tax" - I'm sure the price would be nowhere near the figures quoted if it was, say, Southampton that wanted him.
Absolutely. But we also have the PL TV deal tax too. fecking Sunderland are raking in more money than Italian league top contenders.
Yeah I almost added that - United tax on top of PL tax. You still see clubs from other leagues, say Portuguese or Italian, buying good players for peanuts.
But the difference though is that VVD is yet to reach his potential let alone reach his peak. Regardless of the economic climate, it is still absurd to pay that much for a fairly inconsistent player, from a weaker league where the team finished 7th, and is arguably way past his peak
