Have to say his performances have been underwhelming. And at times, counterproductive.

No blowing my own trumpet, ok I am, I said we should go for him back in January and Conte would like him, once I found out he was available on a free. It just seemed a far too sensible deal to pass up going for if he was open to it. Can play wingback and in attack. Ticks so many boxes.

What a brilliant signing. Missed out on one there personally. Don't think we did personally. We need that type of player but someone who's best years are ahead not behind would be better

Considering that we tend to play more teams that sit back against us, I don't view this as a negative. Obviously, we'll approach each game with different personnel and plans but I'd rather we have the possibility of deploying an ultra-attacking setup if need be.

Fully agree. We need tactical flexibility to be able to adapt to different game situations. An all out defense against parked teams and a more defensive one for offensive teams.

You could say losing him would really put us in the corner, or perhaps the spotlight?

I can honestly say that losing my Religion would not be the end of the world as we know it.

Transfer Ticker showing report today that Inter have increased their offer to Perisic so I'd say his agent has done his job and that'll be the end of the story that we're interested in him within the next few days.
I never believed the story anyway.

I imagine we are holding off on Kostic until we find out about this one so hopefully it gets resolved either way soon.

If the scenario really is Perisic or Kostic, we are going to be just fine.

That would be good. I’d be delighted if we get him in. Will mean we can spend the transfer fee somewhere else.

Just a personal opinion but I feel Perisic is on another level to Kostic. The work with Conte only adds to this. However, he is one where I’d have concerns about a significant athletic drop off, given he’s 4 years older than Kostic. He’s a two-footed Kostic who’ll also progress the ball through the middle third. Also has more variety to his finishing than Kostic. Kostic is a pure final third difference maker, which is all the Conte wingbacks really need, but I feel there are no weaknesses in Perisic’s game whereas Kostic won’t have the positive impact in the build up Perisic will provide. The best two options out there though as far as I’m concerned so happy either way.

Ivan Perišić's decision on the renewal with Inter is about to fall. On the prowl is Antonio Conte's Tottenham, very attentive and interested. True track.

If we bring him in I think that's a key sign of the level of power Conte has.
You'd think Paratici would probably go for Kostic. Old Spurs maybe someone like Raum (and likely came short).
I think Perisic is a fantastic footballer and would be very happy if he signed but signing a 33 year old would represent a massive change of tact for the club. I like it.
