We didn’t even get paid in shawarma
That’s extremely disappointing if that’s true. He’s not that bad. Clubs need to stop fleecing us and we in turn need to stop letting ourselves get fleeced
It’s not that he is a bad player, I just don’t think the league or our tactics suit him. I’ll go to my grave wondering how and why that transfer happened.
🙃
Nah I mean the fleecing done right now, not the even more stupid criminal fraud that Raul did.
I think it goes hand in hand. We wouldn’t be nearly so critical if we had paid what Pepe was actually worth i.e. 30-40mil. It wouldn’t be amazing but at least we would feel like we got a good return on that fee.
The way things have ended up, at least we got something - and we aren’t paying his wages anymore…
Can’t clubs throw us like £2m or £3m? They just know how desperate we are to get his salary off the books.
I wish him the best of luck. We still need a left footed back up for Saka. I thought he could be coached to fill in for him but that’s not the case here. Saka needs rest. His game has been off since the start of the season despite the goals and assist. Pepe, in my opinion, would have given a decent amount of offensive threat. We’ll see how Arteta manages Saka’s rests.
Nelson’s gonna play when the cups come. And Vieira can probably play in a pinch. You just don’t not play the best RW in the world though. I doubt we’ll like, ever rotate Saka out in the league.
Saka has played the full 90 too often, in my opinion. We need someone with a smilier profile to sub in for him at around the 65th minute mark against teams like Everton. Pepe is heavily left-footed to a fault but he could give a decent match to Saka’s one-on-one and striking capabilities. Nelson and Vieira are also decent options but, I’d prefer that Arsenal have an outright left-footed RW as Saka’s sub.
@coygsu @Astrealix i don’t think there’s anyone smilier than Saka in world football
