He was better then than now.
I’ve said it before – his passing skills are special.
Perry is simply a luxury player….not what we need right now. Stick Perry in a good, solid side playing well and he’d flourish in an attacking midfield role.
If he was in a side who could accommodate his weaknesses so he could concentrate what he’s good at high up the pitch then yes but he’s too many flaws in his game.
Slack defensively, lightweight and not he’s not the most hardest working. If we were to sign an experienced CB, with Grant and Feeney in midfield he might fair a lot better but we have Sinclair for the attacking midfield role and Hill quite likes him.
I’d keep him around and get rid of Hallam before him and just keep Perry as an attacking midfield. I wouldn’t play him as part of a midfield 3. I thought he looked good in those few games when he played in the hole behind the strikers.
I don’t think he’s much use though apart from that role. Fantastic passer of the ball though and technically very good.
