Nicholas Pepe

[GibbosEmpire]

Arsenal finally paid the last installment for Nicholas Pepe, in the end they ended up paying £130 million. I can't remember a bigger more expensive flop than Pepe I think?

Peter Davenport ?

He really was rubbish wasn’t he? It puts our Britt Assombalonga and Ashley Fletcher transfers to shame!

Where are those numbers coming from? He cost them £72m and he was on about £100k per week. That's less than £100m all in.

Expensive flop, without a doubt, but not £130m+

agent fees, bonuses, signing on fees all add up quickly

 

[GibbosEmpire]

Not a single person in the comments disputed that fee either

They could have just given away £100m to youth sport in London, became the nicest football club in the world and be absolutely no worse off, in any way whatsoever, as a football team.

They must be over the moon that Chelsea pipped them to the signing of Mudryk. 87 fecking million.

The greatest let off since Derby nipped in to steal Waghorn from us .

Also reported today that they lost 50mil last season despite finishing 2nd. That's crackers when you consider league position and crowds / Merch revenue etc.
