oneeyedmilkman Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Every squad needs players that arent first, second or even third choice. I just hope that he isnt on any more than 8k a week, and the recruitment in midfield is up to scratch that he remains 4th or 5th choice. Lee and luongo missed a lot of games last season, and with hutch in the bomb squad it meant pelupessy played more than anyone would have liked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Does anyone outside of the club itself think he should be part of the squad next season? He offers quite literally nothing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 If he is a footballer, he is playing in the wrong position. He is enthusiastic, and a has lovely smile - but that it is. The position he plays requires aggression, intelligence and anticipation, he has none of those qualities. He nearly always makes the wrong decision, when he should press or make a tackle he just stands there, when he should be covering the space between the defence and the midfield, he loses his composure, runs after the ball like a kid on the playground, allowing the opposites to run straight at our defence. He just isn't cut out to play in the position we play him in, or at the standard required for English professional football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 If we keep Pelupessy, I'm done with Monk and next season already if that's a sign of what's to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Apolon Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 If this is true, and it's a big if, it may show an indication by monk to change tactics to a 433 or 532 so we are not as overwhelmed in centre midfield. If this is the case, and given our limited budget/investigation for signings it makes sense to re-sign but only if the tactics change. Monk may go for one of the youngsters but there is no guarantee the young players will hit the ground running or be up to it immediately. I've always thought he would be better in a 3 than a 2 but that's still yet to be seen. But...I'd rather have an experienced pro as back up than an untried youngster or even worse a young player whose confidence has been shot by poor performances/fans on their back 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be played in a three man midfield as the guy who chases down and closes the space. He does that and the simple stuff ok. His problem is he isnt flying into challenges like Hutchinson so people have a problem with him. But I bet if you look at most of his game stats they are up there with Sams.

Pretty much simultaneously written a similar thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relevant issue is that our circumstances seem to be pretty grim at the moment. Nuhiu may be mediocre; his impact inconsistent, but at least there has been one at times. I'm not convinced we have the budget or pulling power to be upgrading the squad in the way that some are hoping for or even demanding. Pelupessy however, I believe can be replaced effectively under these restrictions as he hasn't really offered anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that in a midfield 3 that he is not quite as bad, but that's only because the other 2 are doing between them what he should be doing - he is nowhere near good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 There is no value in keeping a player who clearly isn't good enough. I'll cling to the hope that news of his extension is only for remainder of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we have seen him in the wrong role. I am not saying he is going to be great. but if Monk plans to use a three then I can see why he is keeping him on. Listening to Monk talk about the contract situation its sounds to me like all the fans favs are gone and the Pelupessy's and Nuhiu's are staying on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Be absolutely ridiculous if true. He’s a complete waste of space, it’s like playing with 10 men. If Monk and the club really think he has done enough to earn a new contract it’s a flippingjoke. As I’ve said I’ve supported Monk but if he wants to keep the likes of Pessy, a player with no quality whatsoever but seems a nice person I will be joining the majority of others that want Monk out of the club.

TrickyTrev Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hopefully it’ll just be to cover the end of the season. Anything beyond that would be ridiculous, he’s a nice guy but absolutely garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
