Gabriel Jesus joins Arsenal

[Chippy_boy]

Why 12 months? We could have given him a new contract and played him more regularly, I think our bench yesterday was not as strong as it once was

I agree. We're only a couple of injuries away from it being a bit light.

Still, I have huge hopes for Palmer this season. I think he's the db's.

I think folk are forgetting that he probably wanted to leave so he could play more. We maybe didn’t have any say. I wish him the best but folk getting carried away by pre-season goals are jumping the gun. Let’s see how he fairs after half a season but regrets are mentioned. He’s not as good as haaland and I’ve every confidence Alvarez will replace his work rate and effort over the course of the season.

People do realize that gabby wanted to leave?? With a year left the fee we got was way above what I thought we would get.

He was offered a contract. We also went and spent £50m on a new striker. Hardly a ringing endorsement for him is it. It's really no surprise he wanted out.

Jesus' move was as near to a perfectly timed deal for all parties as you are likely to get on the constantly shifting sands of the transfer world

Great move it would seem.

Getting the opportunity to show what he's all about,and that means a bargain for Arsenal.

This is one we will regret.

Said for years that he’s brilliant player. Always did well in big games due to his defensive attributes which Pep goes on about. Even when he played bad he still grafted his bollocks off. His confidence will be at an all time high and I wouldn’t be surprised if he finished top scorer in the league.

Gabby is a great player who always contributes to the team, even when not playing well. If you remember when he first joined we didn't lose a game when he was playing, for over a year.

No doubt he'll be very good at Arsenal, as will Sterling at Chelsea. But Haaland & Alvarez have the potential to be as good & younger - but only time will tell.

Add in the Alvarez signing as well.

Of course he wanted to leave.A player of his ability and tenacity should not be scrambling for minutes.

Not based on Saturday’s game, but not convinced at the time moving Jesus, Sterling and Zinny out were the correct decisions. Arsenal fans can’t believe their luck. Jesus and Sterling fitted our play well, let’s see what happens over the course of the season. Pep usually gets his decisions right, so hopefully it will prove to be the right decision.
