According to this website we're apparently looking to sign Pepe now that he's a free agent. It doesnt list any sources and I really hope it's not true, but thought its worth posting in lieu of any other news.

Quote from website:
Just resigning from Besiktas, due to Turkish club's financial trouble, Portuguese international centre-back and former Real Madrid star Pepe (35), according to latest rumours, has been targeted by Premier League struggling side Southampton.
 
He was undoubtedly a good defender (don't know if he's lost any of that now at 35). But, man I really really don't like him.

Agreed. He was undoubtedly effective. But at 35 his best days are behind him, and his penchant to be a diving, thuggish cheat would outweigh any improvements he brought to our defense.
