Apparently not so reliable, Tier 5.

Edit: seems to be regarded differently by different places. Most have him Tier 4/5, but it seems he gets a bit of info. Wouldn't put your house on it.

He’s the Chief football writer of the Independent. He’s not some random twitter hack. He used to be on the Sunday Supplement a fair bit, he’s well known so he’s not going to post info unless he’s sure.

Would be nice to see Romano or someone back it up though.

Interesting that Romano referred to him as a winger. I wonder if that's the position we're signing him for especially given that it was just this morning one of the Spurs journos (Dan KP?) said we were looking for a left side attacker.

He's about to move clubs and country. It's not a decision you make lightly. I don't know about his family situation or if he has kids and their ages etc. So lots of things come into play. Don't blame him for wanting take more time over it.

Dumb question: I know he’s a LWB the last few years and a very good one. Did Conte put him on the right, occasionally maybe at Inter? As I like Kostic a lot, wondering the possibility on having them play together, the sane time.

Basically it sounds like us or Inter - he will decide over the weekend.

I slightly prefer Kostic, but think Perisic is exactly the kind of veteran we need, and would be a great mentor for Sessegnon.
I will be greedy, I'll take both. Perfect succession planning with healthy rotation and tactical changes.

I am pretty sure Conte wants Wing-Backs who are, in fact, wingers, more than backs.

One of the other great things about Perisic - with 5 subs, in games that he does not start - he can be an impact sub at 4 different position - both Wingback spots,a nd both winger spots.

Every fucking year there's an "he's x until he's x debate"! ??

I'm sure there was some piss taking about Gooners having it in the Arsenal thread not long ago.
Sort yourselves out!
