Nicolas Pepe

My brother is over the moon they got Pepe, but their defence really pisses him of. Still they just might be half deadly with that front 3.

I I looked at this, and it was our entire squad of backs, I would be reaching for a rope and a chair

and no, Rob Holding is nowhere near good enough (I keep seeing him mentioned as some sort of semi-saviour, IMHO he is shit)

you pull Bellerin off that list, that is a bottom half of the table back 4 lot, Koscielny and Monreal are nearing 34yo ffs

Mustafi is the worst centre-back in the world rated over 20m quid on t-markt, with the possible exception of  the horrific Yerry Mina (who will soon fall under the £20m mark on the next revision, I wager)

On a more serious note will he even be able to get out of Arsenal anytime soon? I know they have been a selling club in the past but that's only when players contracts have ran down, as shown with the Cesc and Alexis situations especially, they can dig their heels in with the best of them when they want/need.

I reckon the earliest Pepe will be allowed to leave will be when his contract has two years left, to which he will be 27, not exactly old I guess but still won't give him a long term run at an elite club.

Is Pepe that as good as he has been hyped about? You go to Arsenal TV and you get a feeling like they have landed a Messi !!! 

He had a good season in France last season with approx half of his goals coming in penalties but the PL is a different level to France. It just getting crazy with the amount of players that are being hyped these days. 

I hope Arsenal did get a player worth the money they spend!!!

If they pull Tierney and Rugani they'll be really good. 

Leno, Tierney, Rugani, Sokratis, Ballerin, Torreira, Caballos, Dzaka/Ozil, Auba, Laca, Pepe.

THey will be deadly if they pull of Rugani and Tierney, would be a super window for them. This ban has fucked us over big time when we need it. Pepe is a Chels seemingly, would have loved to have him, could have sold Willy and got Pepe.

The amount of times I've heard that in recent years with Arsenal.

Ozil was suppose to take them up a level, then it was Sanchez, then it was Cech, then it was Mustafi (lol), then it was Lacazette, then it was PEA , then it was changing managers, now it's Pepe.

Arsenal won't challenge again for years because they don't have the mindset as a club (and a transformation in mentality takes a very long time), Giroud and Cech have both alluded to it in interviews this summer by pointing out the sheer differences in the dressing rooms at Arsenal and Chelsea.

Give Pepe two seasons and he will want to leave like all the quality gunner players do in the last 10 years
