That's what we in the industry call 'talking shite'

Well you can say I'm talking shite all you like but the stats don't really lie do they? 0 red cards last season. 7 yellows spread over periods where he won't be suspended. Suffers more fouls than he commits etc. I think his reputation for some ugly fouls in the past seems to get in the way of what he brings to the football pitch most of the time.

The stats speak for themselves - 0 reds, 7 yellows.

Fans remember the Real Madrid v Barca games which are something else. Atypical. You can't generalise on his conduct in those games. Remember Mourinho and the finger in the eye for the Barca coach? All kinds of craziness can happen in those games

The stats speak for themselves? But you ignore that in pressure games he becomes a liability?

Can't have it both ways!

Who said you were talking shite?

From page 2/3 I've been telling people his disciplinary record is fine, I was referring to the original statement you quoted!

A couple of angry incidents shown more often than not. His football skills are neglected because of this.

If Pepe is available then this is a no brainer for me.

Ah right sorry got confused. And yeah, depending on eventual price, he could certainly be a great acquisition for us.

Re: Pepe

What interests me, is that if the powers that be (and I don't know if they are or not) are interested in this player, are the people who are saying no way saying that they have a better judgement of a player?

Re: Pepe

I think you hit the nail on the head with the "if Pepe is available bit"..
I just think it will be a nightmare dealing with Real Madrid, and perez
seems a right cnut. He will demand a 30m transfer fee for him, which
would a total non starter.

Re: Pepe

Thing is Madrid are like the rags (remind me how often Rooney would be book in a blue shirt rather than a red one). Pepe I fear gets away with a lot due to his club colours.
