Ivan Perišić

[Warehouse Eyes]

I'm very excited by this news. Like when Edgar Davids signed for us. Signing a player of this calibre and experience is a real statement of intent and should encourage others to follow. Just hope the Chavs don't try and pull their usual dirty gazumping tricks. COYS!!!!!!!

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.

Italians report salary after taxes, he's getting around 200k a week, which would make him our third highest earner after Kane and Son, which is reasonable considering his quality, experience, and the fact that we're getting him for free.

Such a ridiculously sensible signing a week after the season ends.

Very un-Spurs like.

I love it.

Awesome news. Absolute baller. Makes a big difference to squad depth.

tbf, he was already struggling against Sessegnon lol

 

[meaningless-friendly]

He is levels above any of our current wing backs. Let him dominate that left flank and sign similar quality for the right side and we're laughing.

It’s the speed and relative lack of fuss over the transfer that most impressed me. If this is how we’re gonna do business it’s fucking great.

Fucking Levy going for the cheap option again.

You had to make it about Levy, hadn’t you?

Trent's sweating over this news.

Always on the front foot and with good quick decision making.

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.

Proper quality signing, I wanted Kostic because I convinced myself he was the one but now I want Perisic.

 

[Nuts]

A mate texted to say he could be Sessegnon's backup. Hahahahaha! What fucking drugs are you on, Richie?!

I’m still thinking we get both. I don’t think this is a one or the other situation

 

[CroSpurs]

BIG GAME PLAYER

For Croatia too. He was immense in 2016 Euro’s then he scored against England in semis and France in the final.

Little point tbh. Sess looks like he'll come good; certainly as #2.... May as well ride these 2 for a couple of years and review once Peresic leaves.
