This has to have surpassed the Wesley transfer farce by now. It's just the pits.

I doubt that very much. That went on forever, surely for at least another 100 pages, and another 5 threads!
This isn't even in the same category of the older transfer sagas.
True. By far and away the most underwhelming one, though.
For more variety in where he can hit the penalty.

No regrets for this
Totally dominates the game against Roma and decided it on his own with two mighty assists. Really speedy and precise delivery. I understand why Mourinho is so freaking obsessed with him.
Two more assists.
He was second choice and i think he dint really push hard enough for the move like Matic did. I would still take him here.
He is basically on loan to Inter. Another two assists. Wanted some competition in the EPL anyway.
Please, If he was, he would get him.
We need crossing from the right wing, Martial is looking menacing this season.
I think with how well we have started the season so far the owners should show some trust in Mourinho's judgement and go all out for him in the next few days.
He can play both wings or potentially as a LWB. Give the manager all the tools he needs to go as far as he can in all the competitions.

Oh the cafe wants him now we arent getting him
Does it? The same people who said "he's good, but no thanks" seem to be sticking to their guns. He's getting praise for good performances, which really should be on another thread and not this one, but I've not seen anyone change their stance.
Wouldn't hold my breath but I hope a late push to get this done, today was the perfect example of why we need a player like him
Delivered again in a big game to bail Inter out. Still hasn't signed his new contract yet either.
Should have signed him, we clearly could do with someone that has good crossing ability
Was it? How so? I'd argue the complete opposite.
He was pretty poor until the 60th minute (check the Serie A thread, everyone was saying the same) and he actually started to look threatening only when the game opened up towards the end. I'd argue based on what we've seen so far from United, that we have no problems breaking teams on the counter when the game is open. It's scoring goals against teams that sit back and defend that still seems tricky. Not to mention we have two very good player in Rashford and Martial for the LW position who have bagged 3 goals and 3 assists in 3 games between them.
Too much sense in this post.
You thought our crossing was good today?
Were you asleep during the 2 month long saga where we tried our hardest to sign him? You do know Inter were asking for an insane deal, money plus Martial on loan? It's not like we barely tried to sign him or something...
Our bad crossing was mainly from the fullbacks. You think Perisic would play in Blind's position? Or Valencias?
Really? We've pulled off more difficult deals.
Because our wide attackers were never there, we need an out and out winger in the squad
Will you make your mind up? You said the crossing was bad but when pointed out that it was the fullbacks' crossing that was bad, you switch the argument.
And to answer your switched argument, yes it very much is the fullbacks job to be able to overlap and deliver a decent cross on the final third in the modern game. Every top team has good attacking full backs. Barca had Alves and Alba, Real have Marcelo and Carvajal. None of the top teams rely on wide forwards for width. None of the top teams plays with "out and out" wingers. They seem to do fine, don't you think?
So we didn't try hard to sign him then is that what you're saying? Even though you give no evidence except implying it's obvious logic even though it isn't. Surely the fact that this thread is 250 pages is evidence this has been a hell of a saga. All the reports also substantiate that. What's your evidence that Mourinho didn't want him that much?
I'm not switching the argument at all* it's not my fault if you're drawing your own conclusions from what I'm posting
*oh and argument? Why is it an argument? To be honest don't answer that I'm not really interesting in
Cool
Shit like how journos said from day 1 we wanted Matic and not Fabinho and no one believed them? There's more shit from people on these boards than there are from journo's
Too much shit in the papers, nothing from Jose. Clearly, not interested.
Not sure if Jose was interested in Fabinho either. See, Matic became available and Jose pulled the trigger. 5-10 mil would not have been an issue for a club like United if Jose really, really wanted Perisic.
How do you know it was 5 - 10m? There were reports we offered 35m and Inter wanted 50m + Martial, that's quite a way off...
To be honest the most likely truth is Inter had no intention to sell and when that's the case negotiations are very difficult. We also enquired about Willian this summer (he mentioned in an interview) but we didn't get him because Chelsea would never sell. Doesn't matter how much Jose wanted him, and i'm sure Jose would have wanted him most, if the selling team don't want to sell negotiations are near impossible. I feel it's similar with Perisic. Even if we upped our offer they probably just upped their demands, there was no acceptable fee for him
The group that owns Inter is filthy rich. 50 or 60m is feck all to them.
So is United.
Suning Group are much wealthier than United
I can't wait until the transfer window closes.
I don't think the Glazers have invested a single penny into United and I doubt they will. We run off our 500m a year revenue, which is pretty small compared to the 12bn net worth of Inter's owner
Perisic had a price. Inter didn't refuse to sell, they set a price. United didn't want him bad enough to pay it
Late bid will go in for him. Still think he will be playing here after international break.
