He was coming inro form at the end of last season bro. No manager worth a his pay packet then spends £200m a week on an ageing pensioner on a 3 year contract to put him on the back foot again. It's bullsh!t. Pepe couldn't get into the side again and has wasted a whole other season playing intermittently to come back into form.
Mikel's got virtually nothing right this year including his handling of Pepe. If you hadn't noticed we're 8th again. 8th, Arsenal 8th. And out of Europe, with players like Auba, Pepe and an in form Saka. They should have been smashing them in.
I was on the Arteta bandwagon since he joined Pep at City. I was pleased when took over from Emery. Having said that, I truly wonder now if he is the right man for this club. His man management has been dubious to say the lease, including this Pepe situation. Who in his right mind would give a 3 yr deal to William, a complete over the hill player? I was shocked when we bought him from CFC. I am willing to give Mikel one more year but no more. If we can't get to Europe next year and with a better product on the field, he can take a hike.
