That could be the announcement video for him and Forster.

Elite experience. Conte experience. Just coming off a 10G 9A season at LWB.
Potentially incredible signing all things considered. Him and Son are going to terrorize teams in tandem.
Or triple signing. Keeper, home and away.

Think squad numbers will be heavily dependent on who we shift, as there's a few 1-11 numbers that could become available depending on who stays and who leaves.

Can take time. Imagine he could grab Rodons 14 if he leaves.

Excited for this. Really looking forward to seeing him twisting opponents Left and Right, as he cuts inside on his Right, or goes outside on his Left.
For the here and now, don't think we could've done much better for the Left side.
Happy.

Our last 3 signings actually all usually take #44 as well - Kulu, Forster and Perisic are all a fan of it AFAIK. I doubt Dane Scarlett is that fussed about keeping it. Forster in particular has built a brand around it.
I've seen a few posts about Kostic and Perisic playing as a LWF, or even on the right. My thoughts on this are that he will not ever play on the right unless there is some major injury crisis. Many Inter fans had the same thought as well after we signed Gosens - play Gosens as LWB and Perisic as RWB, but I don't think it works that way. Perisic is not some inverted winger like Robben, he likes to get to the byline and cross with his left. He is indeed right-footed but it's very obvious he favors his left - I almost think he's taking the piss sometimes.
I can imagine Conte taking Son off when defending a lead and pushing Perisic further up as a defensive wide forward, but I still think this will be rare. Basically what I'm saying is I expect Perisic to play as LWB 99% of the time.
As for Kostic, we too were strangely linked with him despite having Perisic, and now despite having Gosens. For whatever reason I don't see him joining either club.
Anyway, congrats on the signing and I hope he has a lot of success at Spurs. I will fondly remember Scarpini (Inter's in-house commentator) nicknaming him Ivan the Terrible as he terrorized opponents down the left flank. Conveniently, in the off chance that he flops, the nickname can still be used.

said this in the itk thread, sure romano just get tidbits from di marzio. di marzio is as close to nail on the head news as you can get. so until he says bastoni has a reluctance, id not listen to dan kp.
