Gabriel Jesus - 2017/18 performances

I think it will be the other way round mate,neymar will be coming to city rather than Gabby going to PSG,and I think peps here for the long haul aswell.

Neymar won't leave PSG until he's 30. He's tied down, become the poster boy of both the club and world cup.

Regardless of anything else, Neymar will be a PSG player in summer 2022.

He's been bought solely for the World Cup marketing in 2022... he could'nt get out of that deal if he tried!

There was/is a reason are top players have stayed with us knocking on a decade and not being sold by us,we won't strenghen a rival whoever they are
The kids we have now will stay i'm pretty sure of that

As Delph said the other week, you don't leave City, City no longer require your services.

@SebastianBlue is not wrong for being conceited. But as has been pointed out, there's many more reasons why our leading players will stay.

Firstly I believe a key factor in our recruiting is personality/mentality. We sign very talented kids but insist on a certain character.

We are building a side ready to match any. You could arguably say we have the most balanced squad in Europe. Yes it can be improved but only now will it be improved by the very best.
Compare it to Madrid's. They currently have a better xi. But in the next 1-3 years they will need some huge plays in the market to get a top keeper, replace Modric, Benzema,Ronaldo and probably most importantly Ramos.

Barca have Messi, Suarez, Inesta to replace and for me they have bigger weaknesses to address than we do.

Bayern are really in transition.

PSG are no doubt a great side, but I do believe they'll become their own downfall. They will become so dominant that it will be detrimental to thenselves.
If it continues you'd have to ask what sort of mentality or character would want to win without challenge every week, with possibly 6 hard CL games a season.
(If a European super league comes in then e writhing goes out the window.)

You're right Kaz. As many have aluded to, we don't sell our best players, buy out clauses don't exist for us.

The lure of Premier League football is growing. We've now got some of the very best in the World here again.
City are too powerful, we are growing faster than any club. We will not sell our stars and our recruitment is such that I believe our stars have the mentality shared by our ownersand will not want to leave.

I am not particularly concerned about losing Jesus , however Pep has already stated if a player wants to be somewhere else he can go with respect to Kolarov and although not one of our stars he was not someone we wanted to go at that point.
We did sell Tevez when he was one of our stars.
I am sure we will want to keep Jesus and make it worth his while financially and do everything to support him here but if he didn't settle and clearly wanted out I think we would let him go at a price.

Fully expect him to start tomorrow. Personally I hope Aguero isn't risked at all so would be nice to see Gabby bag a couple goals.

I'm not sure. I think Aguero will be fine to play so surely it's better to rest Jesus who's just flown back from Brazil?

Such a hard working player and his hunger and attitude is spot on.
