Pizy 18,951 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Perisić would’ve been very exciting 5 years ago. Very strange signing now, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people would have looked at Silva in the same way given his age. He's always been a naturally fit, hard working player so would imagine fitness wouldn't be an issue even at this stage of his career. As I mentioned I haven't really seen enough of him the last year or two to know if he's still a good player but from what other's are saying on here and twitter, he seems to have been playing at an extremely high level still and reinvented himself in a wing back role.

True. He does indeed still appear to be lightning quick and super athletic despite being nearly 34. Doesn’t look to have lost a step. If the idea is to gradually ease Chilly back into the team at the start of next season then Perisić makes sense. He’s certainly a colossal upgrade over Alonso or playing Pulisic/CHO there.

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Tbf none of the reliable journos are reporting Perisic to us, so far the news came only from Sportmediaset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope neither happen. Both would be poor signigns, albeit there is a case for Perisic. I dont think he can make the step up from italy to prem at 33 tho laura90 and Vesper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Genuine question as I've never seen him play) he is basically Bakayoko, but in the Eredivisie undisciplined (2 reds in 4 Europa League games) poor passer, and I can see him not being able to cope with the pressure play of the EPL plus, he is another African Sr international who will miss big chunks of play for us when he goes to play for Cote d'Ivoire Superblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEVINAA 129 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) https://twitter.com/brfootball/status/1525470482744676354 Chelsea needs to go for him 2.5 year contract. Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić confirms Robert Lewandowski asked to leave the club and said he won’t extend his contract: “ He said that he would like to try something new. But our position has not changed. ‘Lewa’ has a contract until June 30, 2023. That is a fact."

Pizy 18,951 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 An older striker like Lewa who has accomplished everything choosing to come to the most difficult league? Can’t imagine him wanting that. Can go chill in Barcelona and score a bucket load against more farmers like he has in Germany for another couple of seasons. Look at what Auba has done there compared to how horrendous he was at Arse. Fernando and Vegetable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Sicarius 610 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 We need big summer. Big LEAVING Sell: Alonso, Kepa, Werner, Pulisic, Jorginho, Azpi?, Ziyech?, Lukaku?(not included free living) Buy: 2CB(Kounde+somone like Gvardiol/K2), Perisić, Raphinha, Tchouameni, Lewandowski if Lukaku leave.
