Gabriel Jesus

[ancoats]

i don't think he is ready and could be another 2 to 4 weeks of hard training and then from the subs bench only but it could be a good end to the season if needed i did hear something about some behind door games for him and kompany would be good to get both ready for the run in

Pep's right to keep him under the radar. Then hopefully some short B O O O O O O O O O O M s

I was hoping that maybe Pep would give him 10mins or so against Everton but I can not see that happening. Mainly because pep says he needs 2/3 weeks more training and getting to know his team mates. So maybe the tie against Crystal Palace will either be his full debut, or he will come on as a sub.

When did he say 2/3 weeks? Last I heard Pep was telling everyone he wouldn't need much time at all because he'd only finished at Palmeiras a couple of weeks ago.

As long as he doesn't vanish at Easter I think we should be patient with this lad.

Does he even exist

 

[Jumanji]

I'm getting a bit anxious now. I need an unveiling with the photos and interview already! :(

 

[Plain Speaking]

Just looked at the players' shirts you can buy on the official site. You can buy "Roberts", (even though he's on loan at Celtic!), but you still cant buy "Gabriel Jesus".

That's him alright, latest training video. Literally less than a second they showed him for too.

No it's not. That's Raheem and his current haircut.

Unless Jesus has grown a new head of hair in the last 24 hours!!

Why would they hide him ? Is he going to be surprise appearance for Everton.

 

[TonyM]

Miraculous hair growth? We've seen that before with Ireland. Ohh if he's only half as good....:-)

 

[Sleeping_Easy]

I'd be shocked if he was on the bench for the everton game

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

No it's not. That's Raheem and his current haircut.

It's not raheem either, Marcus wood!

Not sure why the club have to go to these lengths with regards a first interview and any pics? I get they want to shield him a bit but us city fans are excited about him being here and want to hear and see from the boy himself!?

May be way off here,but my thoughts are that after the last couple of weeks with the press blowing everything out of proportion,IE..city being years behind the Rags,Pep saying he's ready to retire,blah,blah,blah.
I just think Pep has sussed the British press for the parasites they are.They are waiting for some big announcement and then big him up as high as the Burj Khalifa and then sit there with the wrecking ball at the ready.
He's giving them no bullets,just opinion.

Tactics with Pep !

 

[Powello]

its to be hope it's not because he's carrying an injury.

Yep, it would be quite a cross to bear for the lad.
