Ivan Perisic

[Leeroy1979]

In my opinion we need to do whatever we can to break the top 4 as every season we are out if the cl sees us slip further behind. If that means paying for perisic in the summer then so be it if it means he comes in jan to help us now

 

[Leeroy1979]

Maybe Saka and Nelson are good enough? If they are then Mkhi and Perisic being the age they are would be perfect.

Totally agree.

 

[HBL]

Yeah we need champions league football next season, I don't care how we get it, we just need it.

Taking opportunities like this (if it's true) strongarming rugani from juve as part of the Ramsey deal in jan or loaning a dependable cb and playing like we did against Chelsea would be a step in the right direction towards cl......oh and playing Özil when needed not getting into a **** measuring contest and freezing him out based on ego

We will slip further if we do asinine business like you suggest. Buying a 30 year old for 40M to get CL? Wtf. Do even get 40M more from being in the CL instead of EL?

Yeah true, although if the younger two don’t pan out it’s a bit of a risk.

Cl will be worth far more than 40m to us if we get back there. Plus it allows us to attract the type of talent we need to progress. Sitting on our ass and waiting until the summer to buy players willing to come to us after another season out of the elite is what will see us slip further behind

I think none of us would have anything to say against Perisic at all, if it would correlate with a CL spot for the next year.

But that is a big if !

If not, we are looking at an ever aging 40m winger alongside 2 other in the same age bracket in need of replacing as well.

Not saying he ain't good or wouldnt be a good buy, if we do. Just the argument that indirectly has been put out here, Perisic ~ CL, is non-existent. Besides, he isnt at his best right now, not exactly the same thing as, if he would smash them in for fun right now, but then again, he wouldnt be on offer for loan or 40m.

I agree that it is a big if but signing a player of his quality surely makes it more likely or at least more realistic? Plus 40 is probably the first figure from inter or someone's somewhere would have picked up on it and shared it. With negotiations that could come down. Out of interest what would you say was an acceptable fee to pay for him at the end of a loan....if it happens at all?

 

[Leeroy1979]

Saying all this I have said all along we need a cb most in jan and I still think it. If we could get a loan or even loan to buy Deal on a good cb better than what we have I would take that over this. What's the harm in trying to put a deal like this in for Hummel, what the worst that could happen?nthe club tell us to piss off or the player turns us down...we haven't Lost anything

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We are not buying this guy

Hard to say, maybe 30m.

Theoretically, I miss a top class CB the most since in forever and it also feels like we've been lacking an out and out tricky winger for ages as well. Wanted Mahrez, like Zaha, but currently CB and possibly RB outweights that need for me.

Besides, I've grown in my excitement for Reiss, Saka and Amaechi. To so much extend, as I'd rather give that spot to one of them right away instead of Perisic (I'd still love Zaha though).
I think they might outperform alternatives right away and even if not totally, they grow whilst at least providing some space and pace on the wing.

It's easier to try a winger than young CB or fullbacks, as not every mistake makes a goal.

 

[blaise]

Option to buy all day long. Zaha would be a dream but somehow I guess he is too expensive although if you compare 40m for Perisic and 70m for Zaha it is a no brainer really if you look at future value.

 

[HBL]

If Özil and Emery can kiss and make up, this would be a nice front four:

Lacazette
Perisic - Özil - Auba
​

Perisic/Auba could play on either side & Perisic is really good defensively, so should be able to work well with both Kolasinac & AMN.

 

[MutableEarth]

Never really rated Perisic.

 

[Aevi]

I’m not keen just because he’s a similar age to PEA and Özil. Even if he won’t decline immediately it’s a problem.

Having to replace three key players at the same time would be a struggle. We’ve got to be savvier with the latest news coming out from KSE today.

I’d wait for the summer, take the risk of EL football and get a younger player with resale value in then.

I completely agree. Mkhitaryan, Sokratis, Kosc, and Monreal are also already on the older side. We could do with a bit more longevity in our next couple signings.

 

[pigge]

Absolutely not. Not Good enough for the money spent.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Have the same feeling. But I do wonder why so many want him here, maybe we are wrong?

I think we three dont question his ability to have a worldie game once in a while as there is a lot of skill, no doubt, but rather that he pretty much comes with the same fault as many of our big players do. They lack consistency.

In case Mkhi and Özil would pull off their A-game all the time, we would not even discuss this.

I definetely would take Perisic, but just as an add-on with little financial risk, which isnt going to happen.

 

[MutableEarth]

Never thought he was bad, but never saw him as a big deal like some others. Like, nothing really stands out about him that makes me think "yeah, I'd have him on my team".
