Then I doubt any of you watched World Cup too considering just two or three games ago people were saying here he is average too.
Ivan Perisic
- Thread starter charlenefan
- Start date
You can see what Perisic would offer for us if we sign him right now, France are sitting very deep and letting Croatia have all the possession. At best he can put in crosses which haven't all been accurate. He is an inconsistent player who would have struggled for us if we had signed him and will probably be converted to a LB anyway by Mourinho.
The same people. Shocking.
You do realise even some Croatian fans said he is average back then?
Some England fans think Sterling had a great WC. Obviously, you are one of those who were shitting all over Perisic in the thread last summer.
I'll leave you to it.
@Damien well played.
I did go back into the Perisic thread and thankfully I am not the only one crucifying him.
Hell you called him inconsistent but you prove a good point, football fans don't really know much.

I doubt I posted more than once in that thread. He is average player, not worth diacussion, I was actually surprised that Mourinho saw something in him, but considering we didn't bring him he probably saw no more than a squad player in him which is good.
I don’t remember us facing tight defences 90% of our games. Instead I saw a team that should have been threatening but had no full backs and no wingers. No width. And slow to move on a counter. Perisic is the opposite of that. As an option I can’t see how he wouldn’t strengthen the team. I also think he would love Mourinho because he is defensively strong. Also think he would love to play for a team like us.
We have Sanchez, Pogba, Lukaku for creativity. Those are three starters for us.
We would have got him for cheaper than now and let’s be honest- maybe wouldn’t have gotten Sanchez but who we all know his winger days are over. Buying him could have meant more of Martial up front. Maybe, but even more so- buying him meant we would have had more width in a season where our left side was not threatening considering the lack of a natural winger plus a natural LB (even though Young stepped up). Young + Perisic last season on the left is a pretty solid defense.
Or he got a little cocky. I’m sure if he knew City would strut like they did and plus Perisic would score in a semi and a WC final he would have for sure spent it.

I love you
Which is true. Even during this World Cup he has been quiet at times then great at others. I also said I'd rather Mourinho get all his first choice targets so there are no excuses and that I wanted us to bring in a leftback too as I couldn't see us doing great on the left without a proper leftback to support and still stand by that
Big difference between inconsistent and average/no better than Navas! You've took it well though.
People actually think sterling had a great tournament? Wtf
Mate, when you're bang to rights how else can you take it?!Which is true. Even during this World Cup he has been quiet at times then great at others.

Mourinho is a successful manager for a reason and perhaps an occasional glance on YouTube or watching one Inter game isn't decent enough research so a little more faith required from me in the future.
Please feel free to update my tag line.
Hell no. Yours is my favourite username/tagline combination on the caf though @relx is close.
He is a decent player but, we do not need to sign every decent player.
I still not want us to sign him for 55 mil even today.
We need a RW badly, we have enough LW.
Great tournament overall. Still not a player we should be looking to sign. Strange that so many seem to think that those two statements are incompatible. Karel Poborsky and Jordi Cruyff should've been all time greats here at United, too.
Even in the Norwegian studio they were going on about how he's a player who basically shows up and looks like a world beater every other year. He's about to turn 30 years old, and has yet to stand out in club football. But sure, Mourinho will make him a player that'll elevate us to league and CL contenders.

He isn't better than Young, I genuinely like Young but I wouldn't sign him today.
Had a fantastic world up. His goal today was wonderful. Can see why Jose wanted him before.
Not good enough for me. Good tournament granted but what I've seen in his club career is more than enough for me to make up my mind.
My opinion hasn't changed much. He's a good player, not great, who would work well for us. If we can sign him without much fuss then great otherwise we don't need him. All tournament he has been quiet with occasional flashes, especially in the last two games. That seems to be him down to a tee.
Bumping this because I have a feeling that a loan for him is the most likely Sancho alternative.
How long does he have left on his contract?
I would presume after his success at Bayern he will be pushing for a 2-3 year contract somewhere rather than another loan.

Hoeness has expressed his desire to keep him, never going to leave Bayern if they want to keep him.
He officialy left Bayern and they thanked him for his services. He won't go back
Too old and too expensive for Bayern
Just too expensive, not too old.
Would be happy with him as a loan, not sure if it's possible or if there's even any links. But considering we aren't signing Sancho and clearly haven't looked at anyone else, he'd be good. Starring quality player who can rotate in any of the attacking positions.
Wanted him 3-4 years ago, I would still take him, albeit on loan if no Sancho, even than he would still be a very good squad player comfortable on both wings.
Bayern wanted to keep him - but the package of wage and transfer sum that Inter called for was too high.
11m wage and 20m transfer sum for a 31 year old fourth winger was too much.
Yeah I get that. Shame but understandable.
I'd take him on a loan if the Sancho move doesn't come off.
He could offer a similar impact to William at Arsenal, rotation squad player with proven end product.

He was the ideal player for Bayern last season - did not make trouble on the bench but delivered when he came on. And he had different abilities than Gnabry and Coman. Especially if you e.g. have good crossers from the right like Kimmich and Gnabry a left winger with heading abilities when you do crosses to the long post comes handy. Even if that worked in the final against PSG with Coman, too.
Still good player imo even at his age, he still has the leg to offer in top level. Much better than injury prone Douglas Costa imo.
He still has a lot in his locker. I hope he'll pick a club in which he'll be a regular, he needs game time to be ready for the Euros. Possible loan to United would do him wonders but I think we aren't even considering it.
Great signing on a 2 year deal.
Still has a lot to offer at 33 years old.

Coming off a brilliant season at Inter, will add a lot of threat from LWB that Sessegnon and particularly Reguilon are incapable of. They had a combined 7 goal contributions in the league whilst Perisic had 15.
How many 33 year old wing backs are delivering at the very highest level these days?
He's one of the clutch players in the world. Also incredibly complete as a Footballer. Don't think he has any weaknesses at all.
How much did he cost from Inter or was it a free?
