Wow

I heard that Napoli were on him. Funny if they miss out on this target too.

But but but City are inflating the market!

He’s just described Dozy Altidore.

Think he’s selling ugg boots round Nell Lane estate these days.

corrected.

 

[deano ou812]

Hmmm so it’s only CIITY and PSG who spend vast amounts of money on players,very telling that a number of the so called cartel clubs are spending large amounts on transfers and not a peep from uefa or the media about it ...

Would've thought Emery's priority was his defence.

Would've thought Emery's priority was his defence.

Tierney will be a good buy for them and they just signed a kid called Saliba from St Etienne who's apparently brilliant but St Etienne would only sell him if they could keep him for a year.

Seems strange on paper but maybe they think they cant compete for the best CBs on the market so if they've gotten this guy just before he explodes and is worth 70m it might be a great buy.

I've been really harsh about Arsenal on here but I think Kroenke has realised they were on a precipice and has put his hand in his pocket just in time.

Is Pepe any good?

Pepe is Hispanic slang for dick, so only you can answer that for yourself. :)

 

[George Hannah]

So Zaha is still looking for a club then....won't go unnoticed if we get a left wing vacancy.

It's also Italian for pepper, which can be good with the right ingredients or ruin the entire dish; blandest definition of a generic player this.

Still looking for a reason.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Is Pepe any good?

He’s an absolutely insane dribbler. So much skill and power. Do the obligatory YouTube search and take a look. Looks a top talent.

 

[leo_city]

Pepe will suit Arsenal, best for them only. Wouldn't work at any other top 6 team.

 

[Tez Tosterone]

For the first time I can recall, the bbc sport transfer gossip column, which headlines the players who are being speculated on are including the name of....... yep, you’ve guessed it correctly, it’s Manchester United.

 

[Kokonut1307]

Is Pepe any good?

Good at dribbling and he is relatively fast. Scored 22 goals, but 9 from penalties (in comparison to Mbappe 1 penalty from 33 goals). Tends to be the most dangerous on the counter and he is given far more space in Ligue 1 than what he will ever get in the PL. Overall he is a good player who improves the depth of the squad as they already have a good attack, which makes it look stupid they splashed so much while their back 4 is rubbish.

 

[Stoned Rose]

This Pepe is mustard but will do absolutely fuck all to stop Arsenal’s midfield and defence being wank.

Waste of 72m.

Yeh, odd one that, midfield and defence certainly need bolstering before a winger is required in my opinion

Not convinced that buying a wide forward is the smartest bit of business when Aubameyang and Lacazette, two of the best forwards in the Premier League, rarely start together. A Koulibaly might have been beyond them, but strengthening at centre-back surely is not.
