I don't think we would have signed Sanchez if we had bought Perisic, Mourinho wanted him for the left wing.
Ivan Perisic
- Thread starter charlenefan
- Start date
I meant those who stil wanna see Perisic here would want him to be on the right which makes little sense to me.
No people called him average, but you keep telling us that he would have been the best winger in the PL, especially in a year a Liverpool winger kept banging it in.
Wow what a thoroughly average player. Mourinho would have loved us to sign him for big money and run backwards at marvellous, tremendous, exhilarating, electrifying speed to protect the backline. The same people raving about him are probably also the same folk whipping out that "martial cult" line out like it's their imaginary online top red cock saluting to every other top red out there yo yo (respect, real talk tm).
Dodged a bullet thanks to Woodward, not Mourinho.

The worst thing about the whole Perisic thing last year was that at the same time Bayern were auctioning out Costa and Roma were selling Salah, players who would've actually made sense pursuing. So weird that we were looking to spend between 60-80 million on the likes of Perisic and Lindelöf for positions we were already stocked in whilst positions like LB and RW were completely ignored.
You know what they say about assumptions. You're not a mind reader and Martial is still here.
I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but I have no idea why we were not in for Salah. Salah had an amazing season at Roma, a better season than Costa did. Mourinho has coached Salah and was the one that bought him to Chelsea I believe, he surely must have been aware of the improvements he has made as a player while at Roma. 19 goals in all competitions at the age of 24 playing within a competitive league is a solid return. RW is also his best position.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Nobody....and I mean nobody predicted before the season started that Salah would have the season he had.
In fact, even now, many (myself included), believe that Salah will never have a season like the one he just had.
Get the feeling we're going to pursue Willian this summer for the same job Mou wanted this guy for last summer, hope i'm wrong.
He had a better season at Roma than Perisic at Inter though. I seem to remember a few people saying so at the time as well, he's clearly a better player than Perisic.
Definitely! What Perisic has over Salah is he is more versatile, both footed, stronger and better in the air due to his height. I guess those were the reasons what would have wanted Jose to go for Perisic instead of Salah, IF he at any stage even considered going in for Salah that is.
Caf moaning rival signings are better than ours? Nah, that never happens, not ever...
Fair point but still, it's not only hindsight.Inter FC and his fans are begging to see anyone come for Perisic. They knows it's their last chance to earn anything from his sale.
A good player but Inter asking fee of 40-50m is laughable to a whole new level.
Don't fall for it.

When you see such players like this going for this prices… I don't get why Inter can't ask 50 million € for Perisic??

Man you quoted only young players.
While Perisic is on his way to his 30th birthday
Is it really the same? paying 50m for someone who is going to turn 30 in 5months?

Age matters when it suits your argument, I can't remember Juve fans talking about Higuain age when you splashed 90 m for a 30 years fat old.
ps. United just last year paied the same sum for a 1 year older ordinary player like Matic.
I said he would have been one of the best wingers in the league. Salah and Perisic are different types of players anyway, Salah is barely a winger. Dont know what he has to do with Perisic anyway.
He was 28 when we bought him and he'll be 31 in 6 months

So Jose actually knew what he was doing when he targeted him. Shock.
Lukaku's performance yesterday cancels it out unfortunately.So Jose actually knew what he was doing when he targeted him. Shock.
Behave yourself, it wasn’t great but don’t ignore his Brazil game.Lukaku's performance yesterday cancels it out unfortunately.
It was still the right decision to not sign him.
Always said he's a neat player, he's a decent old fashioned winger who will guarantee assists and goals
No, no lanky streak of piss or somethingSo Jose actually knew what he was doing when he targeted him. Shock.
What a turd of a player.
Some people in the match thread was well offside with their reactive comment. Croatia was not great and England was good with their pressing. Perisic is not the special type to lift the whole team on his own, so for them to expect great outing One man army, was silly. He did his job on defensive side and helping a bit of stretch play to relieve pressure waiting for HT to regroup the team as a whole. It's what we lack sometimes with our attackers when not effective upfront wouldn't bother stay in game to help the defense. As long as one keeps the score reversible at HT, the chance to come back is on. And here second half. It's experience matter

Class tonight
Jose, sign him up
Had Perisic been bought, he'd have provided crosses for Lukaku to score.
Perisic would've won us extra points and in the FA Cup, who knows what would've happened.
In any case, we have Sanchez, now, so Perisic won't ever be playing for us.
IIRC @Keeps It tidy stance was if we bought Perisic, we would have moved Martial to Inter at their request. Which reality showed, we didn't accept. Perisic would be useful, but there is a price we were comfortable for. That's it. Ship has sailed.
Has come to life since he moved out on to the left again.
still pissed off Woodward never endorsed that deal....
So much better than the shite we have on the wings
no surprises here, great player. I always knew he'll make some posters eat their own words.
No one thought Sanchez was worse than Perisic before joining our shiteshow of a system. Things worked out for us. We ended up with the better player
Incredible performance.
He was the best player on the pitch.
Big performance tonight.
Would've been a quality signing
