Gabriel Jesus - 2017/18 performances

[goldcoastblue]

he nearly fell over the ball for the second one. gpad he didnt though.

Watching the rapport (both sporting and personally) he has with Neymar, especially what was on show in their match against Chile, has me a little worried.

Especially with the rumours that PSG want to ship out Cavani.

Ha. Not a chance in hell.

Not that I would want him, but there is more chance of Neymar coming to us then Jesus leaving for PSG.

Boy done good....

Boy done good....

2 tough finishes as well...

In all seriousness he is going to be Brazil's next superstar. I'm certain about that.

Why do you say that?

Barca fans probably thought along those lines too! We need to get Jesus on an improved contract before the end of the season imo. So that when PSG wave £350k a week in front of him, it's not quite as persuasive as it could be.

Why do you say that?

Several reasons:

• They were already good mates when Neymar was at Barca and Barca wanted to sign him (matching tattoos), he still chose City over Barca.
• City would not sell to PSG (Qatar and Abu Dhabi political row).
• He's getting game time and about to get a big wage increase at City anyway, playing in a better league.
• PSG couldn't afford him this coming summer as all their transfer spending is going on Mbappe (hence loan with guaranteed purchase next summer as they couldn't afford him and stay within FFP in this accounting period).
• City have never sold a player they wanted to keep since the takeover.

There's a reason that Barca couldn't stop the deal with Neymar (in that all Spanish clubs have to insert buy-out fees). Once PSG met that then Barca were powerless.

The reason Barca couldn't bully Liverpool is because English clubs don't have the same rule in place so Liverpool were at liberty to keep saying no.
