Player Watch: Ivan Perisic

[strader]

The only slight issue I have with Perisic, and it is very slight, is whether he can handle premier league teams physically at his age.

I am not concerned with him playing most European teams.

However, with the 5 sub rule, I am not too concerned.

Maybe he won't play too many minutes in the premier league

Have I answered my own question??

Very true regarding the 5 sub rule, also there are more positives with this signing; experience of playing under Conte, Sess is bound to learn so much from him in with the LWB role, he can also play as a winger, he has the experience of winning a title which enhances our squad similar to kulu and Ben.

We really needed winners in our squad, winners that will help the others cross the white line.

Love this video. I haven't been so excited about the coming season for years.

Partnerships / understanding are so important in football. We could be about to add three of Conte's title-winning Inter team who all played closely together.

I wouldn't be complaining, but things seem pretty quiet on that front of late.

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

A bit like Ivica Olic. If my memory serves, he's one of those rare athletes who had real jobs before turning full-time pro.

The thing is sports science is a major part of football as well as other sports. Every player is monitored and specific plans whether it be food or conditioning strength or training are prepared individually as well as team wise. If it was the 80's or 90's I would be concerned.
There are so many examples already given of players currently playing to a high level in their 30's.
The NFL and rugby which are far more physical games have players in their mid to late thirties playing to a high level.
So where there is a risk that age could affect his performance in the league, I believe it is a very small risk compared to what it would have been previously.

I've been wondering how he can do the medical already, considering he had that knee injury. Could someone fill me in?

I’m sure as long as they see the injury is just a small one they can pass it off

I'm pretty sure it's only a knee sprain, correct? I believe it's been 2 weeks since the injury, he can definitely perform normal functions, just not play a full 90 minutes of professional football.

Knowing our medical team, as long as he has 2 legs he will pass with flying colors.

That’s a great video. Think this guy deserves a sub!

I think to many people judge players as soon as they hit 30, personally I only they hit 35 we should start thinking of them loosing the yard they need.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Tottenham, Ivan Perišić is in London.

 

[SuperLuka]

So Conte is already back in London?

 

[hugrr]

So Conte is already back in London?

I'm sure they can chat on Zoom while the legal bods sort the paperwork

 

[the yid]

Paratici would have to be back wouldn't he? But he needs to get the Bastoni deal done! So head back to Milan tonight Fabio

I know personally 30-33 was the peak of my fitness/athleticism, can now confirm at 35 I’m fucked

Feck off already this morning.

Liverpool thread, arguing about age. Perisic thread...age.

Can't a guy eat his smashed avocado on toast, topped with egg and salmon, all washed down with orange juice freshly squeezed between the cleavage of nanny Ethel.

Edit: I may have lied about the Salmon.
