Not that much different to giving 33-year-old Perisic a two-year deal on pretty big wages, no? If anything it's even more likely than Perisic.
In essence though, that’s just it. The club has already committed with a contract for an older player already, can’t see them being keen to offer many more contracts on big money to additional 29+ year olds.
I mean... there was no 51M transfer fee for Perisic. Much less financial risk in Perisic situation
I think it's more so the fee. If we have to pay circa £50m upfront because we have to activate a release clause I can understand the lack of appeal given most transfers are paid over time. I appreciate there are always going to be people that want us to pay the money and I'm sympathetic to that point of view but I think we've seen that if we don't agree with a valuation of a player (eg Gordon) we're not going to go overboard if we don't think it's value for money.
Yannick Carrasco - Detailed stats
These are the detailed performance data of Al-Shabab Riad player Yannick Carrasco. The website contains a statistic about the performance data of the player.www.transfermarkt.co.uk
I'm not really sure where all this confidence Carrasco could be a 'world class' RWB comes from. He's barely played on the RW in his career, let alone as a RWB. Maybe Conte has had that conversation with him but one source said he doesn't like playing anywhere on the right.
Whichever attacking position we play him in he's an improvement on the squad's floor in terms of ability.
