Pot, Kettle?Grow up.
I think it will be the best business Dortmund will have done in years.It would be the best business done by the club in years.
Yes, they'd be getting a decent player plus probably about another £60m to improve their squad further, while we get a once in a generation talent. Both clubs would be winners!I think it will be the best business Dortmund will have done in years.

Your response was pathetic, a childish retort because someone pointed out the fact that selling our only back up striker needlessly is an incredibly stupid idea.
It's pretty typical of this thread, but it's still beyond stupid that people think that because Jesus might not be the world class starting striker to replace Aguero and score 40 a season, he should be sold, only for us to then need to immediately replace him because you need more than 1 striker in a squad.
Why would you want 2 strikers playing the same wayWe've been playing without a striker for the majority of this season, and I think any question about Jesus being a genuine 'back up striker' has been answered. He's no more effective than Sterling in the 'floating' role, and lacks any real presence.
If it would help to balance the books by selling Jesus to fund Haaland, I would be happy for City do that without delay at the end of this season. As for Haaland's back up... Look no further than Liam Delap; similar style, size, and presence, already at the club and waiting on the edge of the first team squad.

Yeah this is an important question.Why would you want 2 strikers playing the same way

We need a back up 9, and the truth is that Jesus can and will improve over the coming seasons. So we shouldn't be throwing him away as basically we'll have to replace him, and as much as I am excited about Delap, you can't be in a position where your back up striker isn't old enough to buy a pint!
.Why not? Nothing wrong with fresh legs in the same role, and there would be no need to change tactical approach. If we wanted to change the approach, we have the players to adapt to the 'false nine' for example.
But will Jesus improve over the coming seasons? He's 23 now and isn't nearly as effective / efficient as he was, and has regressed (in my opinion obviously) since he joined us 4 years ago.
Injuries have obviously taken their toll on the lad, and he quite simply isn't the same player. As I see it, while he works hard for the team, he's mostly been little more than a willing runner with the odd goal this season. If we were to receive an offer of £50/60m for him, I suspect that the club would be happy to let him go.
Liam Delap is around 12 months younger than Jesus was when he joined City - Why not give the lad a chance to prove himself next season?
By the way... Liam became old enough to buy a pint on 8th February 2021. I think it's his round when we next see him in the pub ;)
