In fairness Pepe was a Sanhelli signing, thats why he was fired.....i mean left by mutual agreement.

Arsenal signed Pepe 2-3 weeks after Edu has joined Arsenal for his current role. It’s a deal probably not done by Edu.

Also, Emery didn't actually want to sign Nicolas Pepe initially. His preferred option was Wilfried Zaha, as he was a tried-and-tested Premier League player, and Emery knew that he could end up being judged on the results in the short term. But the Arsenal hierarchy preferred Pepe because he was younger, so they overruled him and made the gamble

I feel like you really missed a big component here. Arsene Wenger was always dealing with a financial loss due to the repayments of the Emirates stadium being built which would have made it all that more difficult for him to get the players he wanted, the reason why it is really now possible is because, Kroenke actually took the loan on the stadium and transferred it to his personal companies to give Arsenal a bit of freedom financially. Also to add to that as well, Arsenal are now using data to find players instead of the traditional scouting methods, essentially the movie (Moneyball 03) to find their players using StatDNA. Focusing on finding players in their peak years to build the club up. It took multiple seasons for them to be able to get rid of the big name players that were well past their peak to be able to bring in the younger squad we see today.

Love your shows keep it up always. .you make my days. .long live and a happy holly week

Edu is not Arsenal DOF. He is Technical Director and mainly the 'face' of Arsenal's transfer but he didnt do the negotiation. Arsenal's DOF is Richard Garlick, an unknown figure even for most Arsenal fans. 3:06 The man between Arteta and John Kroenke is Richard Garlick. 5:38 Edu 'promotion' is basically a reward for his brilliant idea in convincing the Kroenkes to terminate unwanted players contract. It was a unorthodox method unused in the mainstream football world to get rid of unwanted players.

To be fair Pepe was a beast!... Now that he's gone i can speak.. that man went through 3/4 players and scored more than once, scored 2 free kicks in one game and the man was lethal at the edge of the box!

Props to you always on that grind, love the content and COYG!! ❤

Going for players with a top mentality and personality not just talent has been key. You see how many leaders we have or have had in the team like, odegaard, Partey, rice and Jorginho; all whom have worn the captains arm band with club or country.

Arsenal need to sign Gyokeres (striker) and Nico Williams (winger) this summer, along with a midfielder (georgiy Sudakov).

Arsene wasn’t in charge of transfers at any stage during his tenure and in his last 10 years the club limited purchase price due to the new stadium. Arsene like most people had faults but buying players certainly isn’t one you can lay at his door after the stadium was being built. Prior to which he brought in Viera Henry Petit Cliche, etc etc he was our french connection

Tomiyasu was signed in summer 21

for signing david luis, willian, zinchenko, instead of kudus, paid 65m for harvertz. his last brazilian signing is even back in brazil. yes amazing

😂😂😂😂Now, i expect Teams to start tagging our target's with huge ridiculous price tags. We should get mudryk at throw away price €40 from FFP Chelsea

The preference for Arsenal/Emery was WZ, but it appeared as if Crystal Palace became greedy and stubborn, particularly as a) CP believed AFC had a well-speculated financial injection, b) they already had plans for spending a WZ lump sum at least a season before when he wanted to leave CP for trophies, c) WZ had just enjoyed an excellent season plus d) it was clear that WZ wanted to go to Arsenal and AFC had formally shown interest. Thus CP increased WZ's valuation - despite his age - and allegedly refused to broker a reasonable, fairly standard, multi-payment deal with AFC: insisting on most of allegedly £70m+fee up front. Lille were prepared to accept a payment structure, Pepe was only 23 and flying in Ligue 1. End of. Pepe was a very good player but not yet suited to the EPL at a time when AFC had a very mixed quality, sometimes troubled squad (from excellent internationals, world cup and UCL winners mixed to less than average players on good wages, players played out of position, a new, under-pressure manager after 20+ years, no defence to speak of etc). AFC needed a ready-made, robust, EPL experienced, preferably already English-speaking, prime, goal-scoring winger like Zaha. Under those circumstances and being overly scrutinized and criticized, Pepe did well and still wanted to fight for his place.

That ECG shows a wide QRS with " M" pattern, wonder is LBB or RBB?

Martinelli, Saliba, Tierney, Luiz and Pepe were all done deals before Edu was appointed. He didn't take part in the negotiations. Gabriel Magalhaes and Willian were his first true Brazilian acquisitions

It all depends on who is going this summer. But I like the Gyokeres rumours, Boniface wouldn't be a bad choice either.

Record signing under Pep is Jack Grealish 100M, not Rodri

But the season before Arsenal brought in Pepe, he had scored like 22 goals

I genuinely appreciate ESR football play, but I think he's kind of play doesn't fit our new and improved system. Players I think we should sell: E Nketiah - R Nelson A Ramsdale - ESR T Partey - N Tavares K Tierney - E Mohamed Buy: J Musiala (10) - Nico Williams R Leāo - M Zubemendi O Diomonde - And a GK Honestly don't think we need a Striker.

Edu please 🙏🙏 get us victor gyokeres

👍🏻

It wasn't Edu who signed Pepe

Martinelli and Saliba had nothing to do with Edu what are you talking about.

Best buy? No competition!

It's all about edu and Mikel connection. .the rest is going to be history

Martinelli, Saliba and Pepe weren't his signings

Edu genius? Not true. Arteta pinpoints the player he wants and he goes in to get the deal done. As Arteta is the manager, there's no way Edu can dump a player on Arteta that he Arteta has not selected. Again Martinelli was brought in by Cagigao not Edu. Edu's role in the club is overblown.

nice video, covered some similar topics in my latest video ☺

😂

Lisandro would have been a massive upgrade on Zinny. Fabio hasn’t proved anything as of yet

People quickly forget Arteta and Edus disaster signings of Tavares, Runnarson, Trusty, Jesus, Marquinos ,Willian, Cedric, Mari, Turner, Vieria, Zinchenko, Ramsdale and Lokonga plus the extended deals they gave to Reiss, Elneny, Holding and Nketiah. They also forget the absolute fortunes they lost when they paid ₤50m Ozil, ₤65m Auba and ₤74m Pepe to leave the club and letting ₤50m Lacazette and Ramsey do exactly what Edu done himself as an Arsenal player in running down their contracts to leave for free and line their own pockets. Save your but, but, but excuses as the fact is Arsenal have been poor in the transfer market for decades with the last player they bought and sold on for a profit being AOC, so it's no surprise that they recently recorded a ₤55m loss for the last financial year and are now more commonly known as 'Cut Our Losses FC' Trust the (Never Ending) Process xx

Every time I hear what we paid for Jorginho I smile 😊

Completely disagree. Saliba was here prior to Edu was leading this. They have done good business but their is a lot of flaws

Heh, Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira waste of money. Even Kai Havertz is just okayish for 60m. Not worth it.
