Gabriel Jesus | Joins Arsenal for £45m

[JDV]

£45M guaranteed for a player with 1 year remaining, who won't be starting next year and who wants to leave is great business from the club.

Doesn’t everyone have a tapas restaurant? We all dine at the Savoy also…I can recommend the Savoy Grill…honestly…

I have done The Ritz before the play off final for breakfast. The hadn't seen a Nike sweatshirt before.

Get over it…history

I have, trophies seen to that ;-) But one never forgets.

Good luck Gabby, you’ll be fam and blud in no time.

You’re posh then? Real name, Tarquin?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Good luck to the lad etc but he never quite cut it.

Four Prem titles, four League Cups, scoring twice in an FA Cup final win.

If that's not cutting it, we might as well all pack up ;)

That’s one 1 way of looking at it

It absolutely is. Liverpool got £35m for a player as good and as important as Mané who had the exact same time remaining on his deal.

I still find it strange you refer to us as Tarquins - I’ve never known anyone called that

Jack it’s an exaggeration to make a point, rooted in a kind of truth.

No psychopath is my middle name. Piers and Alan unfunny as fuck etc

exactly he performed for the price we bought him and has been an unbelievable success. if you think of him aguero's successor then he has failed. depends on your perspective.

You’re ‘avin a laugh - who’s posh?

I have a mate who’s an Arsenal fan. He’s very posh. If that helps…

They all are.

Sad to see him go, always enjoyed watching him play and was always happy to see him in the starting line up. He does so much more for the team than just score goals - I think he'll be a great signing for Arsenal.

From our point of view he would clearly have reduced game time next season given our signings, and has only a year left on his contract, it makes sense to sell now rather than release on a free next season - £45m for a player with only a year left is pretty decent business by City (what is the highest transfer fee for a player with a year left?), and fairly fair from Arsenals point of view I imagine.

Gabby, you’ve never let us down. You’ve come from a tough background and made something of yourself. We’re all proud of you. It’s time to move on. Good luck in future. Sometimes it’s just not meant to be. No one could compete with Sergio. He fucked off and now you have to compete with Haaland! Good luck at Arsenal, remember City fans respected you and you respected us. Enjoy your Thursday nights. To the detractors: Gabbys goal per minutes is up there with the best. Well played Gabby, Godspeed

Well said. Perfect prose.

 

[Shaffer92]

Thanks for everything Gabby. Unfortunately a victim of joining as understudy to the greatest striker we've ever seen in a blue shirt and unfairly always compared to him. Leaves on good terms and will always get a welcome when we play them.

Would have been dificult for ANY player to come in and fill Aguero's boots..

Just look at these goals vs the top 6 alone! Even Haaland isn't scoring goals like these, yet..

 

[Saddleworth2]

He always cut it. Ok not a ruthless goal machine but the equivalent work rate of Bernie and delivered in big games. I will really miss him but seems to be a win win for Gabbie and the club.

 

[bluesince76]

Personally waiting for Alan Davies podcast starting a campaign to block the transfer - surely he wouldn’t want Arsenal doing business with us - the racist little fuck.

Don't know where they're getting the money from for all these signings. Oh yes, Rwanda

Get over yourself. Stick your headed paper up your super league.

Agreed mate. A phenomenon

Sad to see him go and a class act.
