January 30Jan 30 PSV turned it down. West Ham may come back with another offer: https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/43621957/psv-reject-west-ham-bid-forward-ricardo-pepi-sources Edited January 30Jan 30 by The Dog
January 30Jan 30 Author I don't see an upside for them to sell him right now, baring a crazy large number. It just doesn't make any sense. 1. They are in the Champions League and look, they aren't going to win it, but they have a chance to get some wins and advance. That means more $$$$ 2. They are in the race for the Eredivisie, again more money. 3. Pepi's value is only going up right now. Selling right now when he would command a lot more in the Summer would be foolish.
January 30Jan 30 1 hour ago, The Dog said: or maybe he wouldn't pass a physical: Damn. That really sucks. Never even saw a report prior to this that he was even hurt in the match.
January 30Jan 30 4 hours ago, LurkingHorn said: I know the money will probably be too good to pass up, but I would really hate for him to go to the EPL. If he can be the #1 striker next year at PSV, there are not many better places to be for a young striker. I don't understand why some of you are so afraid of the PL. Why wouldn't Pepi do well there? And for $35M plus? You have to take that money. Like others have said, though, PSV is in no hurry to sell the kid.

It's a grinder compared to other leagues, especially if you're toward the bottom of the table like West Ham where he's not likely to get great service. All for not either way with his knee injury.

I get it - but sometimes that steel on steel is what makes players great. I don't know if he would or wouldn't do well in the PL but I could see either outcome. Tangentially - looking like we might need ol' Joshy in the Nation's League. He and BV are our top 2 9s with Pepi and Flo out, correct?
January 30Jan 30 Author I just have an issue with how the English are kind of slanted against American players. It's like 1 mistake and they are relegated to the end of the bench. A lot of players also go to the EPL and are completely misused. See Jozy, who did himself no favors, but also went to a system that was not at all the right fit.
January 30Jan 30 Not a torn ACL for Pepi. Out 1-3 months. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/43627525/eindhoven-usa-ricardo-pepi-knee-several-months-source

February 6Feb 6 Author Not ideal, but som surgery for Pepi (last picture in set) More news here: https://www.themirror.com/sport/soccer/ricardo-pepi-usmnt-psv-injury-953854?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target Edited February 6Feb 6 by Captain Ron
February 6Feb 6 My guess is that it was a meniscus tear, because from the start they said: • It wasn’t an ACL tear. • He would be out 1-3 months. • He would likely have surgery. Any _CL tear starts with a timeline much longer than 1-3 months and any sprain wouldn’t require surgery. I am not a doctor, but I have two knees and follow sports. Edited February 6Feb 6 by Napoleon

I am still not a doctor, but to say “We are definitely looking at 3 months+.”, I no longer think… UPDATE: I stopped my response to use the Google.

February 9Feb 9 CL and Serie A CP has played about 20 full 90s and has 17 goal contributions (10G, 7 assists). That isn't including the Italian super cup where he had a goal in both games.

February 18Feb 18 3 hours ago, The Dog said: Why tf wouldn't they let him go somewhere on loan in January then? What is the point of letting him rot on the bench and further diminish his value? Also, AC Milan with a terrible loss and are out of Champions Leauge. Hernandez with a comical dive to earn a 2nd yellow. They really need to move on from him and Leao.
February 20Feb 20 And they will probably try and run him off this summer for the 3rd year in a row...
