New contract for Perisic.
Not sure if its admirable or ambitionless when a player signs a contract for (probably) significantly lower wages than what he could make at a bigger club.
Considering it was Inter who wouldn't accept due to not agreeing on players value with us, how does him signing the deal reflect in any way his ambition?
If he wanted to move but they wouldn't allow it then that would obviously be a good sign for him, but in general, a player of his age who is coming into his final big money contract of his career, should be aiming for a bigger club (which presumably he was).
I'd agree if he had maybe a year left on his contract, but that's not the case. Also, the only big club even linked to him was us and we couldn't agree on a fee.
Italian league is a joke. Glad the Premier League was sensible enough to deny Renato Sanches' request for #85.
Inter Milan aren't exactly the Dog n Duck
That was Perisic final chance to move to a big club imo. He better hopes the Chinese will improve Inter to return to challenging again.
Certainly hope for his sake the wage increase reflected the price Inter deemed him to be worth.
Nor are they one of today's giants. Their valuation as a club has been sliding downwards for the past 7 years to where they have almost been overtaken by Leicester City.
We got used again 
He'll enjoy the playing time and lack of competition there, with Van Persie, Soldado and Fernandao around...
Shocking move. He looks absolutely depressed in his medical pictures and I don't blame him.
How reliable is Di Marzio ? Let me check my trusted Reddit transfer journo scorecard....
He´ll sign a new contact, then in January he´ll want to leave, cause City were always his dream and he did not know about their interest.
Because he's going to earn €4.5m a year after tax. Inter just gave him that big contract United maybe would have matched...
Yeah, PL proven, top class defender.
I'm not convinced he'll be in the same shape or form after such long absence. Not sure how dedicated he is to keep in form.
Paying 57 million for Costa in his current situation/condition is fecking mental.
Spending the Griezeman money already!
Just think how fat Costa will be by the time he arrives there in Jan.
Hope so
I suppose they needed an extra GK with Heaton being out injured.
That would free up a certain AG7..? Am I right?
Both Costa to Ateltico and Griezmann to us should have been done in summer if not for his damn transfer ban.
Pretty sure we'll get Griezmann next summer, though.
Really missed that "BOOM".
I thought the window closed 3 weeks ago, what did I miss?
You can buy players outside of the windows, just not registering them.
Welcome Griezmann
I remember when people actually thought he was bought as competition for De Gea, not as a temporary 2nd keeper to help relieve the pressure off of a young De Gea. Thought he would have a solid career at a mid-table club though.
