That's extremely disappointing if that's true. He's not that bad. Clubs need to stop fleecing us and we in turn need to stop letting ourselves get fleeced

It's not that he is a bad player, I just don't think the league or our tactics suit him. I'll go to my grave wondering how and why that transfer happened.

I'll just take the FA cup and ignore everything else tbh

Probably his best run for us. Also when he came off the bench against Wolves a couple of seasons ago.

To be fair, it was Raul who fleeced us there, not any particular club.

Nah I mean the fleecing done right now, not the even more stupid criminal fraud that Raul did.

I think it goes hand in hand. We wouldn't be nearly so critical if we had paid what Pepe was actually worth i.e. 30-40mil. It wouldn't be amazing but at least we would feel like we got a good return on that fee.

The way things have ended up, at least we got something - and we aren't paying his wages anymore...

Can't clubs throw us like £2m or £3m? They just know how desperate we are to get his salary off the books.
