Re: Pepe

For €20m, why are we not going for Chiellini?

What we will probaby end up paying for Pepe won't be too short of that.

There isn't that much between them in terms of age.

Pepe is, in my opinion, a better defender and more complete player while also being much more suited to the right side of central defence.

I'd much rather have Pepe than Chiellini and wouldn't expect us to be paying that much for Pepe despite reports.

If Mancini was still at the club then Chiellini would be high on our shortlist imho.

Pepe is a left sided defender isn't? He would play on the left next to Kompany who is on the right??

If Mancini was still at the club we might be needing more than one centrehalf..........

Re: Pepe

so Real's plan is to replace their 3rd choice CB with a CB that will be 3rd choice and more expensive?

I suppose they might also being letting Coentrao go, so a centre-back that can cover for Marcelo on the left would be useful. Replace 2 players with 1.

I've seen him start on both sides of the defence but is right footed thus would be more suited to playing on the right side of defence whenever Kompany is suspended/injured/in need of a rest than one of Nastasic, Lescott or Chiellini who are all left footed.

Hypothetically speaking.

Being right or left footed doesn't dictate them playing RCD or LCD.

true. Speaking of 2 players with 1, if we were to draw a Bayern or Barca in the CL, I'd probably use Pepe in a DM role with Kompany and Nastasic as the CBs. Never seen Pepe have a bad game in midfield, actually.
