For me that last stat is VERY important. We need aerial presence as we concede a lot of chances from set pieces, and were very lucky not to concede a lot more.
His wages are the £120k pw (but could well be more) plus the add on £6m signing on fee (another £60k pw spread over 2 years)

I hope we also sign Kostic (or Raum) in case Perisic injury turns out to be serious. Also might be better off playing Perisic RWB and Kostic/Raum LWB
Who's reporting this, mate?

WHEN CONTE KICKED PERISIC OUT AND POTENTIAL REUNION AT TOTTENHAM
by Susy Campanale | May 27, 2022 19:33Antonio Conte is on the verge of reuniting with Ivan Perisic at Tottenham Hotspur, but their rapport at Inter got off to a disastrous start. ‘I don’t think he can give the team what it needs.’
Multiple sources this evening including Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia and the Daily Telegraph claim that Perisic is ready to turn down a new contract at San Siro and instead join Spurs as a free agent.
It’s suggested that Conte specifically asked for the Croatia international during today’s summit with director Fabio Paratici.
While Perisic did turn into a key figure in the 2020-21 Scudetto-winning campaign, he was on the verge of being sold because he did not fit into Conte’s tactics.
In fact, he was loaned to Bayern Munich for the 2019-20 season after Conte’s comments in July 2019, just a few weeks after taking over at the club.
“Perisic did try to do what I asked, but I have negative sensations and I don’t think he can give the team what it needs. We need to evaluate things carefully.
“I cannot complain about his effort and dedication, but there are roles to be respected. You cannot change the characteristics of a player, even if he tries.”
Perisic won the Bundesliga at Bayern and returned from the loan in 2020-21, going on to prove he could adapt from his traditional role on the left of a trident attack to cover the whole left flank in a 3-5-2 formation.
“We sent Perisic to Bayern because he was not prepared to do the defending work I had asked for. He returned with a different mentality,” said Conte in May 2021.
“I asked him the same things as last season, but he showed that he has extraordinary characteristics and needs to believe in himself more.
“The moment he started doing that, he started to play. He can be even more decisive.”
This season, Perisic scored 10 goals and provided nine assists in 49 competitive appearances for the Nerazzurri.
Yes. I believe. Against the Dippers in CL tie, he worked tirelessly against a PL team known for high physical and athletic performance. I would say he outperformed TAA in term of athleticism in the tie.
Still has half a foot more than lamela.Signing players with only 1 and a half feet
We’ll do anything to save a few bob
calf strain....1 month out...not serious.
Could one option be to buy Perisic, Hickey, and Spence; while selling Emerson and Reguilon?
Hickey is two footed, so can cover at RWB in case Spence is too raw; while covering for a 33yo Perisic and injury prone Sessegnon.
Also means we steal Woolwich’s LB target!

If Man Utd are after Torres I doubt they will have any interest in Bastoni, They already have Victor Lindelöf, Maguire and Varane, plus newly bought Timber.
So that will leave Chelski, but they have Kounde as their number 1 target and apparently Gvardiol as their LCB target.

Conte, double insult to Inter and Juve: Perisic towards Tottenham
May 27 - MILAN
The Spurs put the arrow for the Croatian: offered a three-year deal with higher figures than the Nerazzurri's proposal

Not sure how McKennie got lumped in with those other two. The guy started for a solid CL squad, and he started over Bentancur - because he’s better than Bentancur.
He’s not Modric, but he’s a class midfielder.
I can see his concern about Bastoni, which is why Gvardiol is my no. 1 LCB option (but RB Leipzig seems to be very reluctant to sell him). But I also trust Conte & Paratici on this one.
Inter fan here
I think this deal has a good chance of going through.
However, while I love the player and would support him should he move, I'm not convinced Bastoni will succeed in England. He plays in a very Italian manner and I think Serie A compliments him perfectly while England may expose some weaknesses. Despite his size he's also pretty soft for a center back. He needs to be much nastier. Off the pitch, he's also very much an Italian boy through and through. Based on my experiences following Italian players over the past decades I think there's a good chance he might be the type to have trouble adapting to life in England.
I don't want to come across as salty because we're losing an immense prospect but this is my honest view on the player. Like I said, should he join Spurs I'll be supporting him.
I know this is the Bastoni thread but I just want to say that I suspect you'll be linked to yet another one of our players in de Vrij (if you haven't been already). I'm very confident in that. I suspect there will be Man Utd speculation too.
de Vrij has a year left on his contract and Inter do not want to extend him. In fact, he's coming off easily the worst season in his Inter career but I believe it's due to the contract situation (we initially began talks to renew then withdrew). I also believe that there's still an excellent player there, IMO significantly better than Dier. Sometimes you see a player struggle and you just know they need a change of scenery and a fresh start. That's how I feel about Stefan. The club has not handled his extension well at all and coming off a poor season, he would be available at a lower price than normal.
His replacement in Bremer is nearly secured too and from what I've seen of Dier and Davies, I think you guys need a middle CB far more than an LCB. I think de Vrij represents an excellent opportunity for Conte and I expect him to request the player.

So a supporter of a team we are planning to buy a player from indicating said player is not up to snuff. If that's not a clear sign we should sign Bastoni, I don't know what is.
