That Willian signing is still a real head scratcher years later

Experienced proven PL winger who was relatively inexpensive, and has shown at Fulham he was still up to scratch. Who knows why he didn't fit in here but it's easy to see how he could've. Much of the team was dysfunctional at the time, so I don't really have a grudge. I think a lot of people wanted us to play youngsters over him, but who knows what was happening in training etc to hold that up. The darkest timeline would be a career ending injury to someone like ESR or Martinelli because they were pushed too hard too soon.

Pepe seems like a really good guy. There's no malice or bitterness. I hope he can kick on with his career and find a good club.

Surprisingly favorable words from Pepe. I guess it’s true, he’s the opposite of an Arteta-style winger.

Reckon he's out this season then? I'd love to see him have his xhaka arc

Sad it didn’t work out, but from most interviews etc he’s always seemed like a hard working guy. It is what it is but I don’t hold any Ill will towards him. Not his fault our previous regime was so dumb with their evaluations (even possibly corrupt).
