I dont watch enough Ligue 1 to know much about this Nicolas Pepe.
In fact i didnt even know if he's black, white or purple. Did a little search for his youtube clip, and this popped out
Of course, Mustafi could even be a VVD on youtube , but damm he looks like a fricking good winger that we have missed for years!!! Can't even think of any worldclass natural winger in our squad since the Ljungberg/Pires generation!
I'm not going to care about that ridiculous 80mil price tag (im not the one paying anyway ), just bring the man in and get ready for next season!

I always think he's the most level headed player in the current squad. I dont even remember if there's any rumour of him or any disciplinary prob at all. At his peak, when top clubs are scrambling to sign him, he remained cool and stuck with us.
Then poooffff, he boycotted the US tour, got creative with his Instagram, and left this kinda video for us.
I hope he will explain this in his memoir or something one day. Deep down, i actually think it had to do with the club for such a level headed guy to snap.
Raul has mentioned that he does not fancy last minute / last day transfer dealings.
But to have this Rugani's loan/transfer go through, it's already gonna be pretty last minute.
And if we dont have any def reinforcement, we are pretty much farked arent we? Ignore the disastrous Mustafi + Papa as our main choice CB combo, with Kosc gone and Holding just recovering, our def is bare as fark.
Rugani for a season long loan, though I know not ideal, could just be a stopgap till we have Saliba next season.
Anyway, public service announcement - EPL deadline is 12am Friday - Malaysia time. That's like only 36 hours away.

We played deep from the back though u can clearly see we are not able to get out from liverpool pressing. Playing deep leaves no gap at the back for mane salah to exploit. After 15 minute u can see mane and salah very frustrated.
Then we almost took the lead thru auba and pepe because we sat back and drew liverpool into our half. Liverpool will press all the way anyways. Then the corner happens.
We knew we were no match at the kop. So we played it safe and tactically. Or we can try to play with best 11 though..
Yup, agree with you bro. Thought we were decent until the first goal. That's quite a bit of improvement from last year. Alas, our gap is still big. They cant score against us from open play, set piece will be their Plan B, just like most top teams do.
If only we can improve on our set pieces, who knows, we may just get lucky in games like this. Get the 1st goal, and the goal floodgates will be wide open.
damm, whats up with miki. If only he were half of his old self, it would make all the difference. He keeps getting himself in good position but doing nothing to it.
