Re: Pepe

I am told real Madrid would sell but he doesn't want to move.

Re: Pepe

Lots of good debate here about Pepe as to whether we (the fans) want him or not but is there any credible evidence that the club are trying to sign him - the only news story I have seen was in the Daily Star (enough said). Anyone seen Joe Royle on his holidays this year?

They've sold Albiol to Napoli and Carvalho to Monaco. This makes Pepe absolute third choice, and if Ancelotti has anything about him (which he does) he will fuck Arbeloa off (he's bang average) and put Ramos back to his best position at RB and play Pepe with Verane.

Pepe's going nowhere IMO.

I thought it was he wanted a move, and real would sell for "the right price" and they are trying to fuck us about like try always do

to be fair, everyone has a price, and if they sell pepe it will give them a few quid extra to try and get bale this season rather than next

Re: Pepe

Imagine how much we'd love it if he was kicking and stamping on rags!

But no, not a good idea.

Let's give the guy some love

at about the 30 second mark he makes a tackle on iniesta. If he does that as a city player he will see red.

"???? That was a beautiful tackle."

My point wasn't that it was a dirty tackle. My point was that if he did that in a city uniform he would see red. Examples of this are Kompany vs Arsenal (wilshere) and Kompany vs United (Nani). Neither of those tackles deserved red but yet they were still awarded. Like Pepe or not he has a reputation. I am not even saying he deserves all of his reputation. I am just saying Pepe in a city Uniform = Red cards.

Any truth in the rumour his agent is in Hong Kong?

On the flip side Kompany should of been sent off V Norwich and we get away with lots of other stuff these days

Re: Pepe

Is Pepe an improvement on Lescott? Absolutely!
Can Pepe help Nastasic? Absolutely!
Is signing Pepe a no brainer? Absolutely!

Would I like to sign Pepe? Of course. However, I'd be worried about the development of Nastasic who just came off a great season. I'm also not keen signing Pepe for 20+ million which is what the likely fee would be for him. Overall, I don't want him unless it was just right for us.

Re: Pepe

Never got a red card for City

Broke someone's leg though. While contacted to City, he kicked Xabi Alonso in the chest. Also broke Stuart Holden's leg.

Don't think Luis Suárez has received a red card for Liverpool yet.

You make it sound like he purposely broke those players' legs

Both challenges were made with unnecessary force, particularly the Holden one which was a nasty challenge.
He was, and still is, a nasty player.

Jonny Evans put Holden out for 6 months. NDJ put Holden out for 6 weeks. Accepting that NDJ's tackle was 'nasty', are you going to accept that Evans tackle was filthy?

Tiote's attempted tackle on Milner, just before the Ben Arfa incident, was worse.

Re: Pepe

Well everyone seems to still love Nigel De Jong, i'm sure Pepe would remind everyone of Nigel a bit

Nigel was never nasty tbf.

lol of course not

He was over aggressive on occasion but some of the horror tackles were clearly just very unfortunate accidents. I never detected any malice in his play at City and he never intentionally tried to hurt another player imo.

A lot of bollocks is talked about NDJ.

He didn't even receive a card for the tackle (it was not made with unnecessary force, it was just made with no 'give'.... exactly what you want from a defensive midfielder).

The reason anyone even remembers it is not because of the broken leg for Ben Arfa, but because he got fucking pilloried for it off every rent-a-gob that had ever seen a football (even off his own national team manager Bert van Maarwijk).

The reason he got pilloried for it was because Howard Webb (?) bottled the decision in the WC Final (where he should have got his marching orders), and van Maarwijk didn't have the balls to come out and say that, so chose to pick him up on something unrelated.

No wonder the Oranje dressing room is famed for it's disharmony. With friends like that who the fuck needs enemies ?

Nige was hard but fair (and had more than a few hard tackles go in against him) and don't let anyone tell you any different.

I understand your point. You just picked a bad example. Iniesta didn't even hit the deck.<br /><br />-- Wed Jul 24, 2013 2:24 pm --<br /><br />

You are talking about Alonso and Holden right. The Ben Arfa tackle was perfect....as clean as they come. That was just bad luck.
