This guy was supposed to be back by now. He was supposed to take 20 days recovering from Sept 12th. Where is he? why are there no updates? Supposedly he had some scar tissue that was causing the problem

 

[Ocelot]

I wouldn't bet on him to ever recover to anything else than a shadow of his former self. I really like this guy, but let's be realistic. Apart from Coppa games I don't really expect him to ever actually play for Juve again.

Did he die or somethin like wtf its been 2 years

 

[Klin]

He ruined our formation surprise asset.

 

[Quaglia18]

Pepe of old could be a huge asset for us right now

 

[Bianconero81]

I highly doubt it.

 

[Quaglia18]

I highly doubt it.

I guess you want to continue seeing Marchisio on that right wing of 4-3-3

 

[JuveJay]

I highly doubt it.

He was a big asset for us before, so why would he theoretically not be now, back in that form?

Watch out now, he might try to tell you that he never was and we would have done just as well without him in 11/12, like most of the Pepe haters on here. Not saying he's world class, but compared to our current crop of options on the wing, he would surely be use full.

 

[JuveJay]

There's always a danger of 'out of sight, out of mind' when a player is injured for so long, but it's not easy to forget that Pepe's skill set was very important for us, we don't have a similar player who is comfortable going both ways with and without the ball.

 

[Quaglia18]

^this sums it up quite nicely

 

[alexjuventino]

In our current team if we did have him we would play a 4-3-3 when Conte needed to

 

[Quaglia18]

And we would be able to lessen our reliance on Tevez. He could be rested with Vucinic-Llorente-Pepe playing, reminiscent of the Vucinic-Matri-Pepe days

except much better

 

[Quaglia18]

Imagine Penaldo playing on a wing with Pepe and Lichtsteiner, this time he would be crying with good reason

 

[ZoSo]

no doubt. Licht alone will make that poofter cry for mummy.

I guess you have shit figured out, so I don't need to respond

I am not a Pepe hater, but unlike you I am not blinded by how useful he actually is. He has been out for like 18 months, and for him to regain form and fitness it might take time (or he might never regain that form). We are talking about a player who relies on hard work and tireless running, as his talent is very limited. Players like him need to be at 100% to truly contribute (to compensate for their limitations and very basic skill set).

 

[Trequartista]

We'd be better with Pepe as we could play the 4-3-3. He's fairly limited but he can make the 4-3-3 work and he can contribute offensively like he did in 2011-12.

When is he back?
