eh?

He is 33 years, 3 months old. In what world is that closer to 34?

He's actually closer to 33 years and 4 months...

... at 33 1/3, that makes him a long player!

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.

Slightly tweaking this from 'about to fall' to 'about to arrive', as I believe that's more accurate to what he's saying.

He is equally strong with both feet, right? Assume that means he can also play RWB in a pinch too. Just like Eriksen for free, this is another no brainer…. If he is interested in joining.

Perisic is much better than Kostic at getting past players and driving to the byline or in to the box.

Kostic is more of a crossing and set piece specialist.

I think we need to replace all our wingbacks personally so would look at both. But I understand people’s reluctance to sell sessegnon, but for me he just doesn’t have that killer instinct of a champions league level player. He might grow into that at some point but I think it’s more unlikely he does than likely. At the moment he doesn’t get enough goals and assists. But there’s no guarantee either would fit the PL and sessegnon is already on that road. It’s a hard one.

Realistically we will probably only get 2 seasons out of Perisic. But what we will gain in those two seasons would outweigh what we would get from Kostic in the next two seasons IMO. Perisic is that good at the moment and hasn’t as yet looked to be fading. I think what’s really important to factor in with us getting Perisic, aside from his ability on the pitch, is what Sess and potentially Spence, could benefit from working alongside him. Sess has a lot of potential, and improved once he managed to shake his injuries long enough to play consistently, but having a player of Perisic’s ability and mentality next to him could be invaluable imo. Aside from the fact he’s a winner and knows exactly what Conte would want from him.

As Trix and Herc have alluded to If we brought a number (if not all) of Perisic, Eriksen, Foster and Dybala on frees alongside Spence for 10/12 mil then we could very easily justify Bastoni and a seriously high quality CM. This to me would put us in serious contention next season imo.

Sessegnon is still very young and only just getting his confidence back. He has shown in the last few weeks what he can offer. I'd keep him and see how he develops. One of these two and Sess as cover is good enough for me.

Plus obviously the HG issue if he went. I think he’ll stay.

Some rumours Zinchenko is on the market this summer. I mean if he’s available I think he’d be perfect for our left hand side.

Which we haven't got and badly need.

spursfan77 · May 27, 2022

Something that hasn’t been mentioned yet (in either thread unless I’ve missed it) is that signing perisic and signing bastoni means getting two players who know each others game and know how to play with each other in our formation. It’s a massive short cut for Conte in preseason in training that left hand side, especially in defensive situations.

I agree with this. Even signing Conte probably wasnt for the "long term". It was about his ability to provide immediate results. So we should rather supplement Conte with players that align with that goal

Would be madness to sell Sessegnon I think - He is HG, very young, has huge potential and slowly improving.

Twitter is hilarious and full of so much rubbish…some journo has claimed perisic is not renewing. I know it’s bollocks but made me chuckle

Stoof · May 27, 2022

he's 33 until he becomes 34. That's how it works.

Always rated Perisic. Not THAT great but hard working and often delivers.
