Great attitude and a team player. But at CF - not nearly good enough.

Take, for example, our recent game versus Newcastle. Time and again Jesus was in position or nearly in position to score and he missed, and missed, and missed! Incredibly frustrating. How many of those near miss chances might Haaland have tucked away either by better anticipating that a defender might miss his header, or by charging towards goal a little bit sooner, or by reaching the ball due to his larger frame, and so on. At CF Jesus doesn't cut it.

Jesus might, however, make a good backup or indeed starter as a right-forward. He really impressed when he started there. Mahrez is probably better though.

It's rumored that Jesus will leave in the Summer window - if so, I wish him well. At the same time, we'll be replacing him with a far better CF in Haaland.

Now maturing and playing his best football for City.

Regardless of whether he stays or goes, he will always be a legend for the late winner against Southampton that gave us 100 points.

Agreed. That said, it's almost guaranteed he is going :(
 
I am not too sad, he is a good player but not good enough to regularly start same way as the likes of Rodri or KDB or Walker etc.
very useful to have in the squad tho, never really complained, worked hard for us.
understand if he wants go, only thing I hope we make as much money as we can instead of doing big favour to Arsenal

bit lower level where is a main man in a front line, he can probably get back into Brazil team, but overall i dont think he a 20+ scorer even if he start 30 league games lets say. we may find out, maybe he is, i dont think tho.

will be interesting to see if his favoured winger role is something that sticks if he leaves or only was a made up thing for the specific way and situation at City.

prefer him to go to Juve or Barca than Arse.
 
Given age, wages and ability to offer a high press/plan B. Jesus should be staying. I’d lose Sterling, he’s an incredibly dangerous player, but wages and contract situation should dictate who’s leaving. Not interest in badmouthing Sterling, but had Jesus played Wednesday, he’d have had another hat full.

I disagree. Sterling is far more talented.

Jesus is good - but when he plays, time and again, chances fall to him. Sometimes he converts, but he misses, and misses and misses. We've solved this problem with Haaland.

Jesus is good - but not great. As a backup he's very good - as a starter at striker he's bad; on the wing he had a few good games, but then seemed to cool off. All in all - Jesus, for us, seems to be a squad player and not someone you'd pick to start regularly (yeah, he scored 4 recently - but that's mostly due to the service provided him). Should we sell him - I wish him well - but such a sale won't impact our squad.

I have no ITK credentials whatsoever, but a work colleague of mine happened to meet GJ’s agent today. Says he’s moving to the Arse - £35m or thereabouts

What a shit agent . Going round tipping off people the price his player can move for. )
Also his agent doesn't know the actual price just a rough estimate. )

Did you not realise your esteemed work colleague was taking the piss.
 
If Jesus, a Brazilian International player, leaves for less that 50 million, someone needs shooting. Grealish was 100 million, remember, and Jesus has more impact in games.

Sadly , and I would have hoped we could make the arsenal twats pay more, with only a year left on his contract, and the player presumably asking for a big uplift in his contract , I suspect this will be around the fee we have to accept.

Hopefully we can insert clauses in the event of the move really working out for him.

Wish him well as he has been a good player and never caused the club any shit.

If that’s true Arsenal have bent us over and giving us a fucking before we’ve had chance to get our kex off.

Jesus will be missed, I’ll never forget the goal he scored at Southampton to take us to 106 goals for a season. For me It rivalled the kompany goal and even the Aguero goal in importance to this club.

That weekend in Southampton was absolutely brilliant.
