Gabriel Jesus | Joins Arsenal for £45m

[Stiff Little Wingers]

he had the chance more than enough to become our main number nine. even in Kun's last season, Kun only started like 7 games and played 500 minutes of PL football due to shit load of injuries. opportunity was there. then we missed out on Kane, so another full season of opportunity.

it was never gonna happen, for whatever reason, then he even preferred to play from the wing assume due to lack of real success through the middle as a clinical striker.

i cant see him being a big goalscorer for Arsenal (20+ in league ) but will be better for their front three than whatever they had last season, so will be an improvement.

I have nothing but good wishes for Gabriel and very much hope he does well. It does look like he's reached his ceiling in Peps City and bringing the 2 strikers in was clearly a message.
Still, we've had 5 years or so of good service and sold at a profit so good all round. I've a lot of good memories of him and he worked like a Trojan.
Will miss the lad but onwards and upwards.

So a £55m deal if we had bought him.

Not quite.

Our fee would have the agents fee, his wages, his mam’s pension, his pet insurance and his tab at Starbucks added to the £55 million.

Brilliant deal

£45m + £10m, year left on his contract with little chance of a renewal (and if he renewed hed be among our top earners given what Arsenal are paying them)

Fantastic

£55mil for Ferran, £55mil for Sane and now £55mil for Jesus....that's £165mil of sales, two of whom were into the final 12 months of their deals

We may not be the best at selling players, but we're getting there

I dont think city fans get enough credit for how they treat outgoing players or ex players. Look at villa and pool every time it happens.

I agree, most outgoing players tend to leave us on pretty good terms and are treated with respect by the fans, which is how it should be. There are occasional exceptions e.g. Milner lol, but he brought that upon himself.

Gabby has given everything every time he steps on a pitch for us. I hope he finds the best version of himself at Arsenal. He deserves a brilliant career.
Think it’s a decent price given how long he has on his contract.

Where are folk getting this +£10m stuff from?

 

[Mr-Mertle]

Not to mention he's quite literally missed a sitter in 50% of the games I've seen of his.

Then he's the perfect Jesus replacement.

Are you disappointed seeing as you slagged “us” earlier for saying there would be add-ons?
