Please don’t forget our tiny budget. Who is better and costs 12m + 1.7m salary?The mistake wasn't we let Biraghi go. He was a decent backup but he couldn't be anything more than that. The mistake was we didn't sign a proper left wingback to start ahead of Young. People miss Biraghi only because his replacement (Perisic) can't play that role.

Young is 35yo and his contract expires next summer. So we will need 2 LWB eventually. I’d rather buy Biraghi for now and drop him to backup when we can afford a better LWB.
At least we can use him now. Much better than gambling on Perisic.

At least we can use him now. 1 goal and 3 assists already in just 5 matches. Much better than gambling on Perisic.
How long is left on perisic contract do you know? I'd say he is the back up next season also when we sign a decent lwb. Also no talks of it now but if young performs well this year every chance he could get an extension.
We didn't gamble on Perisic. Perisic stayed simply because we couldn't sell him and that's the only role he can play in our formation. It was simply a matter of money. Suning's policy was very strict last summer. No one is coming without departures. They even stopped another loan for Moses because we couldn't offload Nainggolan.

Perisic contract expires in 2022.
Biraghi just renewed with Fiorentina until 2024.. So there goes the best rotation option available for us in January.
That means we'll either be stuck with Perisic, or more likely, we'll spend €25m on Alonso or Emerson in Jan after Conte threatens to quit, only for him to get sacked in February.
Wait. Everyone told me conte demanded these signings!?!
