Usually a good judge on these new lads. Think he’s going to explode here, be playing for Madrid or Barca in 2 years. Maybe even a return to City if one of the Spanish clubs pay Haaland’s clause.Good player, no messiah.

As I said yesterday, my first instinct is rarely wrong.
I think he’ll be playing in Spain in two years, £100m transfer. He’s too good for EL football.
Not sure why your getting the d'oh emoji, we've gone from scoring 77, 74 and 73 in the 3 seasons prior to Tets to 56 55 and 61 since he's been here. Either the players all went to the dogs overnight or there's another explanationUnless something drastically changes with Arteta's tactical approach (and I really hope it does) then it's extremely hard to negatively critique any attacking player/striker playing under him. Yeah said player might genuinely be dreadful (like Pepe who was also terrible under Emery and Freddie) but by the same token he could be an elite player completely destroyed by embarrassing management (like Auba).
But at the same time IF the player does end up banging in goals then he's probably world class because if you can bang them in while Arteta is your manager then you'd probably be getting 10 a game elsewhere under a good coach.
Might be because of my Pepe assessment? I'd like to think there's a broad consensus on here that Arteta has taken us back attacking wise while the Pepe thing seems to be a legitimate difference of opinion, maybe even a majority thinking he's a decent player that's been ruined by Arteta freezing him out.Not sure why your getting the d'oh emoji, we've gone from scoring 77, 74 and 73 in the 3 seasons prior to Tets to 56 55 and 61 since he's been here.

Pepe is a decent player, is it the fee we paid that makes people underestimate him so much? I guess so. He did frustrate me a lot, but his numbers and a decent amount of good performances show he's been unreasonably underused imoMight be because of my Pepe assessment?
