It never ceases to amaze me how we've played all this great football and scored all these great goals with all these average and shit players. Gabby's been here 3 and a half years, scored a load of goals despite being 2nd choice, won 8 trophies and apparently he should have been replaced ages ago.Lol you are delusional.
Pep's here for another couple of years max, he's not finding another understudy for Aguero if we go into the market.
doesn't need to. Aguero has a year left, find someone to challenge him and eventually usurp him, then give Kun his testimonial and we march on for another decade.
Or we can piss about with Jesus for another few years trying to turn the new Jo into the new real Ronaldo we were promised 3 and a half years ago.
Bollocks, IMO.most competent strikers keep that down and it nestles in the back of the net.
There's not going to be a challenge. It's going to be welcome to the club new €100m+ first choice striker, you can't have the number 10 yet, but next year.
Having a new £100m striker in the summer is having someone who challenges Kun, duh.
Hope is all we have.lets hope the club are working on Aguero's replacement now and not hanging around
No it isn't. It's someone who replaces him the day he walks in the building.
We have had four same time time before,sergio played great with all of them,especially negredo,it does not need to be 100m pound playerThere's not going to be a challenge. It's going to be welcome to the club new €100m+ first choice striker, you can't have the number 10 yet, but next year.
And when he gets a "goal" do you expect him to suddenly carry more of a threat and become a top striker? I don't. He never was and he never will be, not here anyway.Doesn’t look as if he is enjoying his football at the moment. I don’t think we are enjoying watching him. He needs a goal (s).
He has numerous times though.He cannot step up when Sergio is out,it is not happening ,it is not arrogance to dislike a player,give your head a wobble kid
if they're in the same squad they're competition for each other, simple as.
To be fair, I don't think you could find a City fan confident with anyone in that situation. If Messi was in a City shirt I'd be convinced he was going to miss!You just can't trust him to edge you the win. I don't think there's a City fan that would be confident if Jesus was bearing down on goal in the final minutes of the CL final.
Yeah in the same way Bravo is competition for Ederson.
I do not and have never have disliked him as a person,I have said it constantly,he is a massive drop in quality from sergio,we need someone who can replace that quality,he is not it,three years is enough,stick him on the left by all meansHe has numerous times though.
How can you dislike Gabriel? He's a very good footballer and he always plays his heart out. I don't understand how you can dislike him as a player or a person.
I think it's arrogant to think we could have anyone better in his role.
Do we have two strikers now? Yes or noBut it is true isn't it? We had 4 strikers when we played 2 up front. You know that's true, and yet you repeatedly bring it up when you know it's irrelevant to the current squad.
There is no argument with Gabby. Lewandowski, Benzema, Suarez, Kane, Aguero.
It is impossible to have 2 world class strikers in a squad. No team in the world does. Everyone who sits on the bench most of the time while these guys play struggle when they just get dumped in.
So Jesus is there as back up, and as Pep said yesterday, he brings qualities that no other striker in the world does. His scoring record is good, he's scored massive goals for us, he creates great chances - he created some of our best in this game - and he's in a bit of a dry spell post lockdown, it'll pass.
Do we have two strikers now? Yes or no
Stop it,I do not rate him,he does not step up,he fucking lives offside,misses lots of chances,is he your son of something
Sergio is about to leave,we will be vastly poorer if we persist with gabby and don't replace Sergio with a pure striker
No, we have one in Sergio and then whatever Jesus is meant to be.Do we have two strikers now? Yes or no
