Former Arsenal winger Pepe currently plays for Villarreal. He played against his former home leader Arsenal in a friendly match and was interviewed by the BBC recently, reviewing his Arsenal career. He joined Arsenal for a high price of 72 million pounds, but ended up in a dismal end.
He said: "It was not easy at that time because the fans were not satisfied with me. When they first joined Arsenal, the fans were not criticizing my performance, but criticizing my worth. But I think I did something great at Arsenal, and I don't regret the time I spent there."
"But my transfer fee set the club's highest record at the time, so the fans expected me to score goals in every game."
"If Arsenal only spent £20 million to buy me at the time, maybe the situation would have been different, but it was not the player's fault. Players wouldn't ask the club to spend £100 million or £90 million to buy themselves, but the world of football is like this, and many people don't understand it."
"There are also high transfer fee players like Muderick and Anthony who don't always do their best, but they are not bad players either."
