#9 | Gabriel Jesus - 2020/21 Performances

[Delphinho]

Two of them have (or had) COVID, one is leaving the club, two are youth players. So we have our second choice rightback and third-choice leftback out, one midfielder and our two senior forwards.

It’s really just the fact both strikers are out that’s the issue. The rest is just padding to add unnecessary drama

Yeah, I’m aware of that. Speaks levels about our squad when we can put out such strong teams when Cancelo, Ota, Zinchenko, Laporte, Gundogan, Bernardo, Aguero and now also Jesus

if true about jesus then the club has to go and sign another striker and top draw not a cover squad player

city have been short in the striker role for 2 seasons ? but won so many cups and title that covers the gap
but when one goes down the other steps up now maybe both are out

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Same shit every year. I wonder how Liverpool pretty much have no injuries every fucking year

Miracle working medical team - just like everything else at the dippers !

It's a difficult conundrum because say City sign a striker, and then after the international break Aguero and Jesus are both back. Then we have 3 strikers plus the emerging Delap all for one position, which could become unnecessarily clogged. You'd have at least 1 if not 2 players getting shafted on game time. Maybe if Jesus were transitioned into a winger/part time striker it could work, but I'm not sure that's on the horizon.

But obviously the other side of the coin is what we have now, which is also less than ideal.

Cavani is still a free agent, just saying.

True, but we don't know how much of a budget we've got wages wise. Even if there were room for him what happens if he wants too much? Especially if he knows he's not going to be even 2nd choice.

Plus he's injury prone himself. Would it be worth it for a year?

I don't think there's a simple answer either way.

They are clearly good at stealing everything it seems.

Had lot's of practice obviously .

Yep, agree it would be a gamble even if possible but for them cheek bones I think it's a gamble worth taking.

With De Bruyne supplying him it'll be like He-Man and Skeletor back together.
