Gabriel Jesus | Joins Arsenal for £45m

[Mr. Wednesday]

If he does indeed go I will be very sad to see it, but in truth he probably does need to if he wants to kickstart his career. It's a real shame as he is such a perfect player in so many ways for City and what Pep wants, he just lacks the consistency and confidence you look for from a main striker. It's also disappointing as I'm sure many of us feel he isn't that far off from whatever he needs to click in his head and just explode in terms of his numbers. If he does that then Arsenal would be getting a bargain even at £50M.

I don't think Pep is completely blameless in how things went for him, and injuries came at cruel times. But he is what, 25 now? I think it was @domalino who said, quite rightly, that he needs to decide once and for all what he is and back himself. He needs to believe in himself completely. If he can do that City will regret him leaving but with Haaland here now there was no chance of it happening, so, sadly, he needs to leave for the sake of his career.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

After that letter on Arsenal headed paper…. I wouldn’t do business with the arrogant, self entitled scum bags…. I’m hoping Milan or AM come in for him.

And that racist scumbag Alan Davies can fuck off whilst I’m on one….

Someone want to dig that letter out and show it Tixiki before it's to late

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Are you 7 years old?

Don’t think there’s many 7 year olds called Doris mate

 

[Tony - MCFC]

He’ll go shortly, and fair play to him, his game time is limited at City now and will more so if he’d stay.

All the best to him, good player for us.

 

[Don Karleone]

Always worked his bollocks off and scored some big goals. I'll be sad to see him go

 

[zeven]

Dont like this one bit.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Good fee for him. Decent player, very good squad player but never first choice even when we had no strikers.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Big bollock losing Gabby, unless he finds his way to Barcelona via the arse.

 

[Woody135]

Are you 7 years old?

Nearly 8 actually. Or does that mean im still 7?

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Far better technically but reminds of Dzeko in many ways. Scored so many important goals but with Haaland coming in he just ain’t gonna get the games.

50 million sounds fair for all parties.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Done great for us but deserves to be starting somewhere.

Torres & Jesus paying for Haaland, Alvarez & possibly Cucarella is great business from the club.

Agreed

 

[glyntowen]

I'm happy with the 50mill

Looking at his record most of his goals come against bottom half teams although he has a good record against the dippers and real madrid

 

[RayCTID]

£100m+ for both Torres and Jesus is great business.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

50M for is about right. Always tried his best and not complained about being rotated. He'll get a lot more game time elsewhere and i wish him well. Never quite good enough as a CF for us though tbh.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Nearly 8 actually. Or does that mean im still 7?

Doris Bellingham, I presume?

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Yep, reconciled to it. A brave, honest player who always, always put a shift in for us. Wish him well, wherever he goes (neither of the red shite club, obs!)

 

[ysmsa]

I cannot for the life of me understand why he would go there.

Instantly becomes their best player by a fucking mile though.

Will Alan fuckin Davies be burning his S/T (If he has one) in disgust?

 

[wolviedinho]

I agree. His goal scoring record is ok but not great in a team like city. If you ask any city fan how would you remember Jesus? and it would be his unselfish workrate. We won’t miss his inability to score a lot of goals. Ferran looked decent but you need pace to be an effective winger in the premier. Mahrez is maybe an exception.

City as a club is doing really well buying decent players sprinkling pep dust on them and selling for a profit. Very good business.

Except for Gabby's goals vs Real Madrid, the winning goal in the Centurion season against Southampton and Chelsea and that is just the tip of the iceberg. His earlier form before a knee injury looked very encouraging as well. Gabby's only problem isn't regaining that; and on top of Aguero's increasing absences through injury as well.
