He did a good job in a very tough situation at Macclesfield tbf. Comes across as a bit of a ridiculous up himself cockwomble but Southend are an abysmal team and he got an abysmal team out of the **** last season. Rather see him get a job than some 50+ year-old on his tenth gig going through the motions.

I think we’d all like to see Sol get the Spurs job mate. Their supporters owe him one.

Presumably he's at least watched a live game of football before yesterday though?

For once, I agree with you, I think some Arsenal fans need to calm down, He was quiet against Sheffield Utd, He’s been a flop for them thus far.

Some on here will be fuming at your words, but it's the truth.

Actually despite us being **** against Sheff Utd, Pepe was our best player and should have scored.

But he did, Pixie.

For years, Arsenal have played lots of nice tippy tappy footy, but got no where with it. Pepe fits your mould perfectly.
 
PISKIE said:
Wigan are more successful than Spurs in recent history, so that’s not a great comparison to make Kips.

If you wanted to compare our oppo last night to an irrelevant English team who have won **** all of any note for 30 years, then you don’t need to look any further than your own club.

I dont think he has looked all that clever so far, but you gotta give him a bit more time.
Not every player hits the ground running when they get to the PL, he has played 9 league games ffs.

It stands to reason that his best performance has been against a foreign team.
Remember he is from the poncey French league as well.

Bit unfair to judge a newbie after 9 games!

Hadn't really seen much of Pepe until last night ... but that is how to answer critics for sure ... technique on the first goal was excellent.

In contrast, Lacazette was a complete **** ... tried to con the ref that he was being impeded when it was him holding the defenders arm ... then pretending to have been head butted in the face when the rightfully angry defender confronted his cheating ... warra priceless ****!

Yeah that was pretty ****ing shameful, falling to the ground like a sack of ****.
He should get fined and ban for simulation

Agree ... some hit the ground running in the Prem, like Tielemans for us last year ... in contrast, Pereira was a bit meh in his first dozen games but then went on to be arguably our best player ... probably still is ...

Yeah but where's the fun in that? <whistle>

Nah I do tend to agree of course but a lot of the time you can still see a player has something even when they're struggling and I've not seen anything like that of him in the games i've seen.

Mane is a good case in point, was raw as **** when he first game to us and struggled a fair bit early on. But you could see instantly that he had everything it takes to become a top class player.


More about the fee really.

Your last point is spot on ... same thing with Naby Savage, if he'd cost £8-£10 million then nobody would be batting an eye ...<cheers>
