His dip was mostly due to lack of playing time. He is a phenomenal talent.

I know this rubs most the wrong way, but I expect him to be better than Aguero next season.

It wouldnt surprise me. His close control with the ball at his feet is mesmerising at times.

Some reports in Brazil that he will be involved in the deal to get Rodri or that Atletico will make an €80 mi offer.

Spanish rumours from last week. We don't need to involve him in a deal for Rodri - there's a release clause €70m and that's that. Nothing Atletico can do, no bargaining power.
 
Thread — he’ll be a super star for us and I still think it’ll be primarily as a winger (left, mostly).

There's a very real chance he takes over from Aguero at 24 with 8 or 9 years ahead of him and 100 goals already under his belt for City.

People keep posting that "big chances missed" stat and criticising it, but my eyes light up when I see that. 22 years old, very irregular playing time, and all he has to do to be among the golden boot winners is cut out missing big chances? Fantastic.

It was the exact same with Sterling two years ago, constantly getting in positions and being a bit erratic finishing wise. We all know how that turned out.

When you look the stats in the Premier League site, shots per goal, Gabriel Jesus had a convertion ratio of 16%. 43 shots and 7 goals. Its the same as Harry Kane, better than Salah and 1% inferior to Aguero. Only Auba got some absurd convertion ratio of 23%.

Of course we need to be careful with stats and see who were the adversaries because he did not play in the big games. But tbf in general majority of defenses in the English football are strong and small sides parking the bus can be even worse for strikers.

Fair enough, all about opinions. Do you think Sterling is a better left winger than Sane?

Hard to say.

Leroy (for me) is best on the left with space behind, against teams that sit very deep, he's largely ineffective, as we saw against Leicester, Burnley etc.

Raheem on the left has that added bonus that he can take a defender on both sides, take them to the byline or cut in on his stronger foot and score great goals (Southampton, Arsenal etc)
 
Gabby isn't going anywhere, whats really impressed me about him other than his football, is that is English is getting better n better.
