Most of you have never seen Ivan Perišić play. Here's 93 seconds that'll give you a clue as to why Manchester United are interested.

One big takeaway from that, we might not have been the worst team in Europe for finishing chances, a lot of sitters went begging in that. Got to be frustrating as a winger when you hit in a great cross and someone fails to even make contact with the ball

Martial does like to cut in on his stronger foot, but name me a wrong-sided winger that doesn't? Can we all stop pretending that he can't go on the outside, it's a myth.


Here are some examples from his debut season alone...


Skip to around 2.38.

Even this beauty for his country:

i never said he cant go down the line,its just he runs into trouble most of the time due to a lack of left foot

Anyone see Rooneys goal today? Absolute cracker from about 35yrds! Looked reall lean and in good shape compared to normal. Even looked quick across the pitch.

Cracker, reminded me off the one against Arsenal for the toffees as kid, funnily enough.

Lacazette grabbed one on his as well.

Castles saying Mourinho has sanctioned the deal to sign Zlatan to a new contract in Jan. Ending his chase for a second STR this window. Also says he has told Woodward to get him 3 more players a DM, FB and a winger who can play both sides comfortabely. Also confident of Griezmann being ready for next Summer.

happy with that,we already have martial,rashford and lukaku who can play in the one striker position.Think perisic deal will be done so its down to whether we can get nainggolan(always spell that wrong!)or another.dier wont come and there arent that many options tbh.

Happy with too if true. Zlatan coming back will give us another option up top leaving Martial to play in his best role for me out wide left. Also meaning the loss of Rashford or Lukaku won't be such a big hit with Zlatan back. Not to mention his experience and influence in the dressing room will be huge! And if we get a DM, FB and a winger would be a great window.

Still not as bad as Cole at Roma

Please someone photoshop cole into the inter pic on the left leaning in

I'll lay good money Joseph has seen him less outside of cut-ups than most.

But that wouldn't do for following's sake.

He's not wrong though.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

He is if he's suggesting that's a consistent attacking output.

Utd training base evacuated due to a bomb scare.

Have you watched Perisic last season at all? Because he is a constant attacking outlet. Whether he is worth 50m is another debate, but he was excellent going forwards and defending. A double digit scorer and assister in a very inconsistent side.

i agree,cant understand those knocking him.yes the price is inflated but the guy is lightning quick and will be a real asset.I know it must sound like i keep knocking martial,truth is i think hes a great talent but perisic offers better end product imo

 

[Mike.]

It's not Perisic or Martial. They offer very different things. Martial has a higher ceiling, if he can improve his intelligence and decision making to go with his speed and skill, the sky is the limit.

I could ask you the exact same question as he was infuriatingly inconsistent. And just game-to-game. But during games. He didn't get double digit assists and goals. Only one player did that in Serie A and he's currently down the road at Anfield. He didn't have a bad output by any means last year. But all in all his time at Inter has been really up and down.

He fits perfect for what Mourinho demands in terms of his discipline and the defensive side. But if you think he's that great an increase on what you have the other end then you're more than likely in for a surprise.

And yeah, to answer the initial question, I keep up to date on Serie A and watch quite a bit.

 

[zzeezzy]

If he was that good he would of been tapped up by a bigger club long before now, lets be honest. He's an average winger who I doubt any of us would of even mentioned if we had given a list of signings this summer.

Its not about better, but different. He had a strong last season. And fits that defensive winger mould.

Scored 11, made 11 in the league, Scouse.

Edit: actually a **** load of players hit both into double digits. lol (7)
