Pepe has to look elsewhere if Nelson signs on. Too many players to compete with. I always rated him to be honest. But the problem is we have Saka in his preferred position and he’s just a much more complete package.
He’s still a talented player. i think Arteta bringing Willian in to play in his position, early on in his managership upset Pepe’s confidence.
Watched the Crouch documentary on Amazon and he was playing badly until he got a manager who believed in him. Then he couldn’t stop scoring. Some players just need that belief to shine. Pepe is one such.
He needs a new club.
His podcast has 12m listeners. Lol. The docu is on Amazon and it’s good watch if you like a sob story, about a gangly lad who everybody wrote off as useless beanpole.Peter Crouch got a documentary?
Just handing those out to everyone these days, I guess.
Everyone or anyone?Peter Crouch got a documentary?

In his last season here was putting in Özil levels of effort off the ball and looked completely disheartened and disinterested. His most certainly not a starter in this team, so struggling to see what is going to change about the off-the-ball aspects of his game unless he has had a monumental shift in attitude. If he doesn't work off the ball the boss will immediately banish him to the Phantom Zone alongside General Zod, who is still there from the days of Superman IIHe’s still a talented player. i think Arteta bringing Willian in to play in his position, early on in his managership upset Pepe’s confidence.

Deuteronomy 12.3 said:You shall tear down their altars and dash in pieces their pillars and burn their anti-Artetaism with fire. You shall chop down the carved images of their gods and destroy their name out of that place.
If anything, it was surprising that it took long for him to give up. He was trying up until the point it dawned on him Mikel didn't rate. Whatever you say of Pepe, being disinterested shouldn't be one of the things you use to describe him. I remember the only game he came in and didn't give a **** was the Newcastle away game two years ago towards the end of the season when we were getting battered and Mikel brought him unto the pitch in desperation.In his last season here was putting in Özil levels of effort off the ball and looked completely disheartened and disinterested.
The biggest crime he committed was not being signed by Mikel, bring from Hale End or costing significantly less that 72m.
His biggest crime was being crap and a flop of a transfer. I'll never understand the subsection of fans who treat him like some wounded puppy, transfers fail all the time it's nothing new.If anything, it was surprising that it took long for him to give up.

I was quite happy he half-assed it in that game tbh. Cos if he'd somehow dragged us back into it a la the wolves game, it would have been the same result. He would still have sat his arse on the bench the following game anyways.

That’s harsh. The end of the season 2019 he had a blinder in few games, particularly the FA Cup final. That cup win kept Arteta in a job when he was mid table Joe.His biggest crime was being crap and a flop of a transfer.

We only signed him because Raul was doing a friend a favour.
He might be kinda a flop in hindsight. We'd never have spent 72 million on him if we knew how good Saka was going to be. He'd never have come here if he knew how good Saka was going to be. We'd never have left Highbury and built Emirates if we knew that TV revenues would mean that we didn't need to go to war with Old Trafford for maximizing bums in seats.His biggest crime was being crap and a flop of a transfer.

He wasn't crap though. When you compare him to flops like 100m Nunez, 80m Harvetz and other guys who he was better than or even on the same level as who were bought for big moneys but even till the last moment, their clubs were still trying to make it work.His biggest crime was being crap and a flop of a transfer.

Arsenal needs a new coach.. Some players just need that belief to shine. Pepe is one such.
He needs a new club.
It wasn’t a sensible transaction at all it’s why Raul got sacked.He might be kinda a flop in hindsight. We'd never have spent 72 million on him if we knew how good Saka was going to be.

It was a sensible transaction with the knowledge at the time. Never blame the club (or the player) for decisions that were sensible when made.
Even if arsenal gets a new coach, pepe still won't make the squad.Arsenal needs a new coach.
He's just not good enough. Decent player but belongs to the streets(ligue 1)Even if arsenal gets a new coach, pepe still won't make the squad.
Yeah, I really do like him, he's cold, call it aura or whatever, I liked that about him, but it just seems like he has given up on football..He's just not good enough. Decent player but belongs to the streets(ligue 1)
