Even if he scores the winner against us next week, it won’t change the fact he is shite and a waste of money.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
He’s jinxing him, get with it chief
My post was comical satire. Of course I’m just joking about the greatest ever player to wear the Arsenal shirt. I fully expect him to tear us apart next week.
Well said
I was surprised so many here wanted us to buy hm, his control is way too loose. It's amazing how the media aren't all over this signing and Kepa at Chelsea, if we'd bought either for the money they paid it would be a constant story.
What a player. You can't mention Arsenal without mentioning Pepe. Will go down in Arsenal's history for years to come.
It’s bizarre, it’s almost like his limbs are too long for him — he never looks in control of the ball when he’s dribbling. Reminds me a bit of Wan Bissaka
Oh I agree but let’s not tempt fate until after
They're too busy watching every move Maguire makes.
Think he belongs in the 'who is the best player in the world' thread.
With us playing Arsenal next week and Pepe being on the scoresheet the last time we played them, I don't like the way you bumped this thread.
Yet to see him take a corner that makes it past the first man
He's like Ragdoll from The Flash.
1v1 he is still as good as he was in Ligue 1, the difference is that he got a lot more counterattacking oppertunities in that league, at that time. And the defensive structure was not as good. Even when he played against defences in "balance", the spacing between the players was bigger than most of the teams in the EPL. Most EPL teams are extremely good at having 1,5 players covering good dribblers. And when Pepe gets around the first guy, he gets muscled off by the next.
What an idiot. Saw an interview from him a few weeks ago about how he wanted to show Arteta he deserves to be starting all the time, good way of showing it with stinky performances and a daft sending off.
72m for bebe. And arsenal fans have audacity to complain about other teams spending.
Feels bad man
Don't remember Bebe ever fighting on the pitch.
One of the biggest flops in premier league history surely.
Top 5 for definite.
Torres for 50m at the time was a huge one.
Some would say Di Maria but at least we got 90% of the fee back.
Who would even put 40m into Pepe?
Pepe is that type of player who tries to be like Messi by beating 10 players by himself and ignoring his team mate and runners. You notice that arsenal players stop making run or intelligent movement because they know Pepe won’t find them or pass the ball to them. The quicker they sell him, the better for them so I hope they stuck with him for years.
I like him as a player for Arsenal. Hope he stays there for years to come.
So aftv crew have completely turned on him today. What he did today was just stupid. Reminds me of di maria's red card against arsenal in the fa cup where he grabbed Oliver's t shirt.
So, how's the investigation going on? It smells like money laundering involved.
We may have one also.
The people responsible for his signing should not be involved in football ever.a Championship quality player with no brain
I don't think he belongs in the top 5 worse signings. I think the transfer market has inflated so quickly over the last few years, that it's hard to gauge just how costly he is compared to previous flops. Paying 40 million plus is very common these days. In the past we've seen players that cost vast amounts who failed to have any impact. Pepe has been hugely disappointing obviously and there is no doubt he's flopped, but he did score 5 league goals last season and he's not a striker. I don't think he can be compared to the likes of Sheva, Soldado and Andy Carroll etc.
Taking dogs abuse on Twitter right now. Toxic
75m. Jesus wept
That's quite suprising since toxic internet usually loves Pepe.
He’s not as bad as some people make him out to be but I’m glad we passed on him... and that says a lot because we desperately need a RW.
At least we remarkably got a fee from our friends from Milan for Lukaku. Arsenal will be lucky to get half of what they paid. They were too desperate.
That´s why I think it is good to wait and wait for our opportunity. Maybe City found a gem in Torres or maybe waiting for another year for Sancho will reap rewards in the future. He´s a safer bet with immense marketing potential along with footballing ability. 70mil pounds should be a good price for both parties I reckon in the current financial environment..
