Nicolas Pepe

on*

He is slowly paying down his mortgage but time will tell if he can justify the price paid for him.

70m dog schit.

He's wildly inconsistent. I'm hoping with a decent pre season under Arteta we can get more out of him

Are you adding his goals in the Ropey league against Estonian builders?

I got so much stick when I said we shouldn't sign him at the time, but he's starting to mature as a player. Forget about the price tag, it's ancient history. He is a great winger to have in the squad, someone who can score two free kicks in one game and who can win you games on his own. He might mature into a world class player, if he is coached perfectly, but he is more likely to be a mercurial talent. When we have players like Saka, Martinelli and ESR who can play in his positions, that's enough.

Questions remain over Arteta's coaching, to put it mildly, but I think he is managing Pepe perfectly, and giving him the opportunity to step his game up whilst protecting him.

Pepe has improved considerably but from such a terrible base, he is very inconsistent and certainly not a star but overall he is quite decent now.
Of course he’s still a disastrous buy for 72m but it’s not his fault that we got duped into paying that.
