This came out of nowhere, I'll reckon he'll be a great signing for them lot.
Well, Jose wanted him to play as winger, but Conte wanted him converted to wingback. However, the ultimate purpose is same though, because they all used Lukaku as CF.Jose likes him
Conte likes him
Theyre like the same person sometimes.
Think you're underplaying him here, he'll be coming in as a starter no question.Spurs need players to compete in 4 comps, Perisic is fine to play once a week off the bench in rotation. Played in Conte's system before, can cover several positions, and free xfer right? I don't see many drawbacks here for Spurs.
Clearly not a marquee signing at 33, but as a squad player I don't see a problem.
I appreciate he played as a starter in Italy, I think the PL is a different beast entirely. At 33 I see him playing in rotation as he will need some recovery time for a much more physically demanding league, or risk injury. That is not to say he will not play a big role, and I think it is a signing with little to no risk, given it cost nothing, and he knows Conte's system.Think you're underplaying him here, he'll be coming in as a starter no question.
At the time it was an absolutely horrific idea and would have been a sky high cost too.I remember the backlash here when Jose wanted to get rid of Martial and sign Peresic. In hindsight we'd have been much better off if we had gone through with it
I don't think so. Perisic was absolute quality back then, just like he's now. He shows up in big games consistently and is super hardworking.At the time it was an absolutely horrific idea and would have been a sky high cost too.
I feel a few like to play captain hindsight with Jose and ignore that he'd as always totally melted down late on and was throwing players under the bus.
There was no surprise the likes of Martial and Shaw had great seasons once Jose was gone.
It was horrible for being 29 and talk of about 60-70m as the fee.I don't think so. Perisic was absolute quality back then, just like he's now. He shows up in big games consistently and is super hardworking.
