No they haven't.
Some French media was saying that PSG could stop the move to us if they launch a last minute bid.
Problem is, the reason we outbid them was because they have strict ffp sanctions that they have to abide by.
By all accounts he is as good as ours. Medical is supposedly planned in for later today.
What I like about Pepe is that he scores goals (like that Bruno Fernandes guy at Sporting, reckon he'll be a great buy too) and we need goals from another source, makes a change from us always signing players who are a bit goal shy in midfield.
Our attack should be pretty decent with this guy now, defence is a concern it's basically Sokratis who IMO is a bit hit and miss, Holding who has been overhyped IMO, he's done ok when he's come in but he's not exactly proven, then we have Mustafi who is awful and Mavropanos who is untested.
Full backs are still an issue too, if we can sign Tierney that's one side sorted out, but Bellerin won't be fit for the start of the season and probably won't be ready for a while after such a long lay off, so that leaves AMN and let's be honest, he is terrible at full back.
Pepe is the best winger available on the market right now IMO. You could argue Sane is, but City wouldn't ever sell him to us.
Pepe is in that bracket of players who have the potential to develop into an Elite talent, I am really happy that we are moving for players like this because it shows we are absolutely looking to purchase the very best players from within our budget.
I like the Saliba signing, potential Tierney signing and Ceballos loan. We are doing very good business IMO.
Reports are saying Pepe has agreed terms, so this one is pretty much in the bag.
Pleaseeeee let it be so!
Potentially more good news.
Mustafi has been on sale for ages but no-one has wanted him.
L’Equipe are saying Monaco have made an enquiry.
Monaco can have him for £1.
