Looking like a big mistake

[elkanofan]

I think he's finished as a top winger. Needs to be moved to CAM.

Looking like a big mistake

Have to agree. We might as well have recalled Mkhitaryan from loan instead. This is looking like a massive waste and it's worrying because it looks as though the plan was always to play him on the right in place of Pepe.

[Jack The Ripper]

Awful decision to buy him when we have so many up and coming young players in his position. Terrible call. We will regret this.

The worst part about this signing is we’ve actually managed to downgrade on Mkhi

Apparently went to Dubai during lockdown. Could be out for Leeds. Best thing he's done.

[Salibatelli]

lol yes, but also who lets their players go on a jolly during a lockdown?

Three year deal... sigh

We didn't ... he's been disciplined not that he probably cares.

Arteta says the matter is dealt with and they are moving on, which suggests Willlian has provided a negative test result ahead of Sunday’s trip to Leeds.

‘You keep asking me for more and more issues. Whatever happens internally with any issues or things that we don’t expect, as always we will try to resolve them internally. That’s been dealt with and explained, and we move on,’ said the Spaniard.

‘We had a conversation and I explained what I expected.

‘There are a lot of personal factors at the moment and as well from our side, we need to be in their shoes.

‘A lot of players are having different issues, like any person out there and sometimes they make decisions based on the needs of the moment, or what people are expecting from them.

‘Whether they are right or wrong, it’s a thing that we have to discuss. But it’s been dealt with in the right way so let’s move on.’

From metro sports

He will be probably starting tomorrow.

[Power n Glory]

Loses all respect if he starts tomorrow. He shouldn't even make the bench.

[Salibatelli]

Agreed, you can’t have one rule for one and another for others, he shouldn’t have been in Dubai.

[Ach]

Club is in turmoil

[Power n Glory]

Nah this isn't turmoil.

[Salibatelli]

Got to say I don’t get this signing, we had Pepe and Nelson, yes he was free but he cost us a lot in fees and we could have put that money towards someone else.

Been made worse by the fact he’s been awful so far, but also the 3 year deal means we have another player on our books on big money we’ll struggle to shift later on.

Considering we spent 72 million on Pepe we should have shown more faith in him than we have.

Personally I think there’s enough there with Pepe to work with and given a run of games he’ll improve.
