Player:Martinelli
It is. We have a 18 year old kid almost doubling his scores ffs. It's bad.3 goals, 3 assists in a dysfunctional team in his first season in a new league and club isn't bad.

The 18year old kid performing way above the average, lucky for us. But that doesn't mean that Pepe hasn't contributed. I'm confident both of them will go on to become vital players for us.It is. We have a 18 year old kid almost doubling his scores ffs. It's bad.
I mean some players can take longer to get going than others.It is. We have a 18 year old kid almost doubling his scores ffs. It's bad.
your opinion. I disagreeYeah, i'm saying you get better players for 70m pounds and can give examples. Pepe not worth 70mil yet.
I'm not saying he has not contributed. I'm saying he is not worth 70 mil so far.The 18year old kid performing way above the average, lucky for us. But that doesn't mean that Pepe hasn't contributed. I'm confident both of them will go on to become vital players for us.
My point is if he plays like he has so far,he is not worth the money we payedI mean some players can take longer to get going than others.
Also sometimes the pressure and expectations that a pricetag like 70m brings can hinder a player mentally.
So far he's had an average season but you can see the quality he possesses, Arteta just need to bring it out of him on a consistent basis now.
Yes. If you payed 70 mil for each of our forwards we have and they contribute 3 goals and 3 assist. We would be in thechampionship and broke.your opinion. I disagree
When you invest so much on a player like Pepe you are making a long term investment.My point is if he plays like he has so far,he is not worth the money we payed

If pepe does not improve from here on do you really think he is worth 70 mil aka so far not worth 70 mil?
You can just disagree with me and feel this way I'm just making sure I have not missed something and this is really how you feel.
Reading all these post makes it look like he missed an open goal and missed a penalty.
The reason we got the win yesterday was him. He was involved in both our goals when we win our first game vs man utd.
It is not about having a two digit goals and assists, it's about how important those are. Martinelli may have scored 6 but most came in a 3+ goal wins against clubs we haven't heard of before.
Both players are doing good and they will only get better. Fact.
Really? Not sure most people thought he would be bad for a season before coming good. He could've hit the ground running. I agree he most likely will come good, he has not been good so far though.When you invest so much on a player like Pepe you are making a long term investment.
So while I agree he hasnt performed like a 70m player so far I dont think a lot of ppl expected him to hit the ground running. Almost everyone even here said it will take him a season and I would second that opinion.
If he is getting all this stick without playing bad, how is he gonna be treated when he underperform? If he was playing half as bad as Nelson, people would be calling for his head.Exactly. We also had a deep dive on Pepe on here earlier which described his way to Lille and finally to use.
He missed many steps in his delopment and his rise to fame was sudden and those circumstances made his career a lot more special so far.
Also, it wasn't all his fault that he got 2 short injuries and was dropped twice after BEING THE BEST PLAYER in the team in both occasions.
It was against all logic - "oh, I see you just started to deliver, let's see how you cope with being benched then"
He didn't have a proper preseason so yeah I think most agreed it will take him time to find his footingReally? Not sure most people thought he would be bad for a season before coming good. He could've hit the ground running. I agree he most likely will come good, he has not been good so far though.
I also think he still can become a really good player for us. But I also see the position that if you pay £70m for a player you expect him to have a big impact instantly and not in one or two years. And it still can be that he doesn't hit the roof and that's not good if you pay 70 fecking millions.He didn't have a proper preseason so yeah I think most agreed it will take him time to find his footing
I guess its natural to have higher expectations but you should also take into account how bad the entire team has been when judging him.
I think its fair to say that jury is still out on him when its comes to whether or not he's worth 70m but thats where I would leave it
Irrelevant to an extent, yes. You can't say it's totally irrelevant though, obviously.People analyzing Pepe based on his fee know nothing of football or sports imo.
His fee is irrelevant.

Different, and fair. To say Raul this or that, sure.I'm not analysing Pepe based on his fee, I'm just saying the fee was too high based on what he's done in France. I'm analysing the business people involved in the transaction based on the fee.
