It’s pretty obvious Jesus is not a natural striker. I’ve seen the lad pass out of clear chances or dribble 3/4 times too many. Does not have the mindset of an out and out 9. He’s much more impactful on the wing, which unfortunately for him, is quite the crowded position at the moment for City. Provided we get Kane in, Jesus is another player I wouldn’t mind seeing go. Is what it is at this point with some of these guys.

Jesus isn't good enough (imo) as a striker.

Last season was pretty much like the Tottenham game Pep chose to play a winger as a striker, and when he did come on in the 70th minute he put his striker on as a winger, to be fair to Pep he is using Jesus`s work rate as our attack is work shy, given less of a work load perhaps we might see the outstanding player we bought, playing along side Foden should help.

To be fair though - Jesus has a lot of talent. And I don't think he's ever fancied himself as a striker - more of a winger. There was an interview with him long ago along these lines when he was talking to a brazilian reporter about his role in the national side.

Anyhow this more recent article is along the same lines - i.e., Jesus doesn't consider himself to be a pure striker:

I dont get the hates he gets from City fabs. He works his ass off. He was the reason we won Real Madrid 2 years ago . He got us the points.
What is the problem. He doesn't score 20 every season I know that but mabey he will giving the chance. How was Kane his age ?
