Not that I'm condoning the negative comments towards the aforementioned players but how many of these players were or are close to their peak at the time of the transfer speculation? How many of them were going ridiculous prices? I just don't see how you can compare the transfer of Carrick and Valencia to a potential Perisic move.
Ivan Perisic

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Signing him because he's the best that's realistically available is not a reason to sign him on it's own, that's what I'm trying to say. If we sign him, then obviously Mourinho thinks he can add something. That doesn't mean people can't have different opinions on a player. If you're just going to appeal to authority every time we get linked to/sign a player, then we might as well just close the transfer forum.
Carrick was a ridiculous price
If it's because they don't think he's good enough, OK fine but give him a chance to show what he's worth. If Mourinho believes in him I am willing to see how it goes. Having somebody who's quick and left footed ON THE LEFT is something I am looking forward to again.
If it's the fee, fair enough it's high for a 29 year old, but we've got loads to burn, we aren't paying for it, so who cares right?
I just think people are expecting Bale and Neymar and suddenly get their knickers in a twist because it's "just Perisic"
That's a fair comment. I think the only real question is whether he's good enough which we won't find out until he's here. (Or not)
You're buying an English player from Levy, what do you expect?
It paid off and proved he was worth it.
Ander situation all over. He'll force his way out.
I don't disagree with your points at all. If he signs for United tomorrow, we should support the player if only for the good of the club we like. We don't have to like him, even after he signs but all players should be supported for the sake of the team. There are certain players in the squad I can't stand but should be supported, as with my feelings towards the manager, though is changing albeit slowly.
Perisic is not yet our player and I think it should be ok for fans to give an opinion on a player that is not ours. I get some fans are making comments without any foreknowledge of the player, others because he is not a Neymar, it's muppet season.
Myself, like some of the others that have claimed to watch Perisic a good number of times are against the move because we don't think he is good enough. Not one poster in this regard has called him a bad player, once. I just find the whole just wanting 'FM players' ridiculous. I suggested that I'd rather have Costa and Andersen, players who 1)I'm not exactly mad about and, 2) are not world class players. I just think that they'd offer much more and at a better value.
Yeah in hindsight it was a good price but at the time we were said to have overpaid by a large amount for a player who spurs fans said wasn't even their best midfielder
Perisic is right footed.
Perišić is left footed. Always shoots free kicks with the left
See some posters always go on about wanting players who want to play for thumis club, for the shirt and for the badge
We've got such a player (supposedly) lined up, and people are bagging him out before he's even kicked a ball for us and underrating him to hell.
It's so hypocritical it's downright infuriating; he's not as bad as the majority of you make him out to be. Why care so much about the price? The cost doesn't affect you personally in any way.

He's left footed but is very good with his right (ambidextrous)
There's quite a bit of overrating of Perisic as well. He is decent and could work out brilliantly but it's not going to be the hugest surprise if he is just about a moderate success.
It's the other way around.
The moral of that story is football fans know feck all about the value of players.
Wrong, it's either with his right or he shoots with both. Think I have see him take one with his left too, it's insane really.
Other than Carrick, all correct whining
Hargreaves was an ok player, just injuries blighted him, but that wasn't what fans were complaining about at the time.
ps. on Redissue, which was the largest United forum for quite a few years, there was immense moaning about Rios transfer, his first couple years here and subsequent drugs ban. Horrible, horrible personal abuse infact.
Well I think that tells you everything you need to know. The fact nobody knows for sure shows how good he is with both feet, it's a really unusual ability.
I would need to watch him regularly to know his pitfalls, but he ticks the boxes in attributes that's for sure.
during 4 years in the Bundesliga, Persic played not a single season that would qualify him to play for a club that wants to challenge for titles. Not even close.
Wolfsburg or inter are his level. That's not even harsh criticism, because these clubs have decent players and that's exactly what he is: decent. Nobody is saying that he is rubbish, but the caf muppets pretend that he is a world-beater. It is not "Neymar/Bale or perisic". That's a laughable assessment. Lots of players are between those two levels.

DiMarzio: PSG are interested in signing Perisic and inquired about him while meeting Inter to discuss a move for Lucas Moura
Please take him.
Too late, PSG.
Perisic is ours.
Perisic is ours.
Thats a bad deal for PSG. Replacing Lucas with Perisic and Inter will be laughing
Let PSG have him and get Costa who is definitely on the move from Bayern.
Not that long that they've bought Draxler for that position and di Maria can play there as well. Seems like a scattergun approach.
A bit like us in the past few years*; more money than sense.
*More so before Jose arrived.
I don't know if he'll be a good fit for us or not but one thing I like is how determined he is to join United (based on the reports). It's always nice when a player really wants to play for us. He reminds me of Herrera and Rojo.
Perisic is 28 years old. 28.
If people can't do the math just google 'Perisic' and they'll see it on the right of their screen - Age: 28.
Perisic is the kind of young talent we should be signing to accompany our more experienced players. He's also Italian.
Jose have great relations with Inter, Why is this haggling over the price and Inter inflating the value. We should include janujaz in the deal, Inter will like a young player with Potential. Selling to sociedad for 10 m euros makes no sense.
I'm really not a fan of signing Perisic, but Jose has signed enough young players - Bailly (22), Pogba (23), Lindelof (22), possibly Morata (24) - so sometimes you need to add that mixture of older, experienced players in the region of 28.
At 21 he's unproven, but in a few years he'll be a good player.
Does it indicate any thing about Dimaria and Jose's quaoted about him too?
Yeah? While we are at it, why dont we sign Pepe (34) and Robbie Keane (36) to add to that experience we so desperately need?
