Totally possible, Perrinelle's never had much speed but I remember him looking like he was wearing ankle weights during that 2014 season. Petke didn't hide that he wanted bruisers for centerbacks, if only he had known Perrinelle was capable of tying the single season yellow card record!
Those yellow cards had nothing to do with him being a bruiser of the Petke sort, and everything to do with his lack of speed putting him in positions where he needed to drag guys down. I like Perrinelle, but he's 33 and not getting any faster.
