Do it. You've not got the votes. I am a delight!I've always wanted to bin someone for starting one of these.
I agree about the physical demands of the WB position in Conte's system, but Perisic won't play twice a week every week.Perisic is a great player. Hopefully his legs don't go next season, although from what I've seen from Inter he's an utter workhorse. My fear is not him being 33, it's him being 33 as a WB in a Conte system, which might be the most physically demanding position in football right now.

I can see Royal and Davies as back up CBs and WBs.I agree about the physical demands of the WB position in Conte's system, but Perisic won't play twice a week every week.
Sessegnon will definitely get games. And if we sign a LCB such as Bastone, Davies will provide squad depth at both LCB and LWB.
Yeah. Someone posted it was a 3 year deal. That would be crazy.Would be perfect. The only hang up is that he's 33, but we're only signing him to a two year deal and he's still playing at a very high level.
Doesn't seem like he's getting one of those obscene free agent deals either. 2 years at 6 million is eminently reasonable. He'll split time with Sess and ideally by the time Perisic's contract is over, Sessegnon will be a bonafide first choice player and we can sign a youngster to back him up.
All the reporting I've seen is two years. DiMarzio specifically said two years, 6 million. So I think it is 2 years.Yeah. Someone posted it was a 3 year deal. That would be crazy.
And in the Premier League which is on another level in terms of physicality/intensityPerisic is a great player. Hopefully his legs don't go next season, although from what I've seen from Inter he's an utter workhorse. My fear is not him being 33, it's him being 33 as a WB in a Conte system, which might be the most physically demanding position in football right now.
He was a WB in Conte's system last year and pretty much this year too, considering Inzaghi basically kept the team tactically the same.Perisic is a great player.
