Ricardo Pepi

That feels like a no-brainer.

I've got Ricardo Pepi, and I've got Julian Hall, the 18-year-old Red Bull New York striker who started the season quite hot, still has been playing and starting games for Michael Bradley's team.

Those are the three that I would have that's replacing the injured Haji Wright from the World Cup roster.

Balogun and Pepi, of course, were both there.

I probably struggle with this position the most.

Ricardo Pepi, Julian Hall, Brian White is who I'm bringing in.

Um, so Julian Hall and Brian White would be the, um, additions to the roster.

Fuller and Balogun, Haji Wright are the players from the World Cup that I'm leaving at home.

... anytime soon.

But someone who can fit that role, Casey, is Ricardo Pepi.

He had a bit of a quiet night-

Yeah

So especially with the situation that's going on with Balogun and Monaco at the moment-

Yep

... is there an opening for Ricardo Pepi to kind of make a push and leapfrog him into being that number one, number nine for Poch?

Uh, absolutely.

Uh, more games tomorrow, including PSV hosting Shakhtar.

This is the trade-off when people talk about Pepi and Dest perhaps outgrowing the Dutch league, and should they move to a mid-table Premier League-

Mm-hmm

... team.

That's the secret for Gio Reyna.

Now, Ricardo Pepi, Shaq, he opened the score for PSV in their big win at Ajax.

Third of the season for El Tren.

Always seems to know where the ball is going to arrive, Ricardo Pepe.

Some stayed right where they were.

For example, Ricardo Pepi, he was heavily linked with the likes of Fulham.

That, of course, did not happen, so he's staying there.

Christian Pulisic still staying.

But that being said, Jeff mentioned Joe Scally.

I can add Anthony Robinson, Chris Richards.

I can add the likes of Ricardo Pepi, who we thought was going to Fulham, did not transpire to Fulham.

I can add there the likes of Sergino Dest, who we come to find out per reports said no to Fulham.

So you're gonna get quality opposition early on, and you get a chance to prove your worth.

This is what Ricardo Pepi needs to do.

He wasn't the man at the World Cup.

He's not been the man at PSV.

Everywhere he's been, there's always been, "We're waiting for Ricardo Pepi to explode," type of deal.

It's off the bench, and maybe he could be typecast, and maybe he could be very good in that role, but that's not what he wants to be.

And as Ale mentioned, we at Nazium spoke about the move to Fulham, which didn't transpire.

Yeah, if that door is closed, if you have a good performance in the Champions League, that probably means that another door-
