Nicolas Pepe

Think they’re taking the Michael to be honest mate.

Probably haha. At least I hope so although never know with this place. Have had countless debates with people that somehow rated Bolasie in the past !

Pepe is another level, if we went big on him I would expect him to hit 20+ goals next season.

Don’t think we will get him, just hope this isn’t another Julian Draxler

 

[PeregrineT]

Can we just mark this one as 2018/2019 player already? No sense in wasting time on the inevitable, hes been Branded.

 

[ijjysmith]

Comparing this lad to Bolasie? Oh please. This guy actually has control of his own legs and actually gets past his man

Can’t wait for him to be booed

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Never happening.

Just hope he doesn’t go to them.

Seems too good to be true this one unfortunately.

 

[blulouie]

Not getting the Bolasie comparisons with this lad at all.
Apart from the actual gulf in skill level Pepe actually has a link between his brain and his feet.
Still developing too , he'll be a class act imo.
Any ways we wont be signing him.

Fam would have got 23 in that league.

Actually think he’d do quite well in any of the 2nd level leagues like France and Portugal, but thanks to his wages he’ll end up in turkey I reckon

It’s interesting that 2yrs ago at the age of 22, the same age as Richarlison, Malcom & Neres. He left a team that finished 12th to join the team in 11th for 8mil. After scoring 3 goals in 40 games.

I suppose it goes to show how players can improve at different ages and I doubt many saw that improvement in him over the last 2yrs.

 

[Kinky Koeman]

I can’t tell you how disappointed I am now I’ve seen him.

I mean I can see why the kids like him. But I mean. You HAVE to be able to see the Bolasie likeness.

Bolasie if Bolasie had a footballing brain.

 

[FinnT]

Smacks of being used to get that lot to put in a bid for him.

 

[Kurt.]

We’d stick him on the bench and name him Pepe le Pew

 

[Tubey]

I like our strategy by being in the conversation with players like this. Not all of Neres, Malcom, Pepe etc. will go to the very top clubs come the end of the window, which opens the door for us if we're keeping doors open.

 

[degsy]

Absolute baller. Sign him up @Boss Silva.

22 goals and 11 assists in the league last season, with 13 and 4 in the season before.

£59M, big money for us, but can he do it on a wet Tuesday night at Stoke...or wherever the modern equivalent is.
