Gabriel Jesus joins Arsenal

Have you seen the heat map for Zinny that game? He didn’t play as a false 9.
As well as what appears to be sour grapes, it sounds like his recollection of the game is incorrect. Add to that his refusal to acknowledge a crowd that were giving him a standing ovation as he left the field and you then can see why people have got a little cheesed off with his comments. I won’t boo the lad but he may have been ill advised to say what he’s said, especially after Arsenal’s capitulation.
A few folk have said he had a great season at Arsenal, that’s a stretch in my opinion. Eddie Nketia is a much better finisher and was playing really well when Gabby was injured.
Gabby went back into the team at the same time as their results floundered, he has since tried to blame it on Saliba’s absence, rather than his own inefficiency in front of goal.
He’s tarnished what was a steady career he had with us for the benefit of a few clicks.
Do your talking on the pitch lad, perhaps you might end up with more silverware but not with your current mentality.

In short,
1. Pep didn’t give him a chance so he left
2. Against PSG Pep preferred Zinny as false 9 to him
3. As a result of 2. he couldnt eat his pre match meal, went to his room and wept on the phone to his Mum, too upset to warm up but then when called upon as a sub in the game he set one up and scored another
 
I'm not sure why he's whining. His time here for the price we paid for him was a success. He did a good job, won loads of trophies and was paid good money. He was and will never be good enough to be any team's main striker, but he plays a good part. Arsenal are looking to upgrade on him now too. He will forever be remembered for his great last gasp finish for the 100 points.

He was having an honest discussion, and the not rights at City_Xtra have done a hatchet job on him.

We all know he left City to get more game time, that is what he said, and people are crying on here about it now who haven't even heard the discussion, due to an out of context stitched together tweet.

It shows that City_Xtra will do anything for clicks, and people retweet shite to try and get likes.

Yeah, no better than the rest of the media out there

Cheers pal.
 
I'd like to read everything he said and then form a judgement. He doesn't seem like the kind of player to disrespect a former club, nor Pep, and even if he did, it would simply look like sour grapes because of the success we had following his departure. I think we all know that some players cannot deal with the fact that they are part of a squad and are not guaranteed playing time, no matter how good they believe they are. For Pep, the whole is everything, and if you are not on board with that there is nothing down for you.
 
Let's hope he continues to have a weak mentality for many years at arsenal as they fail to win trophies.

Arsenal and all their players and fans are so insufferable. They’re like liverpool.
They’ve won fuck all and bottled literally everything, hope they fuck off back to obscurity where they belong, and Jesus can comfort himself

The more the clubs and fans act you can see why them, Liverpool and united all get on. 3 cheeks of the same fetid arse.

I don't know what the first two Deanos were like but I certainly like this iteration.
 
He was an excellent player for us always giving 100%. I would like to hear how the gradual exclusion from Brazil team influenced his decision to leave, because I am sure that played a significant role in his decision making . I was sorry to see him leaving, but realistically he would have been a bench player in this squad.

He only played 60 mins in the World Cup and that was in the last group game against Cameroon when Brazil had already topped the group. If I remember rightly he missed a couple of sitters and was pulled as Brazil were losing.

Tite the Brazil manager never rated him as a striker/winger and he was 6th or 7th choice even after his good early season Arsenal form.

I’m with you on Zinny in that game. He played in midfield. Raheem played false nine. Also the claim that Gabby had an assist is tenuous and his goal was relatively straightforward. Also watched this video from ESPN. Folk can make their own minds up about wether his words were taken out of context.
 
What an odd video. I know we fans don’t know what goes on behind the scenes but I’m really surprised at Gabby here. He seems to have misunderstood what actually happened in the game. Obviously not intelligent enough to understand the manager’s plan.

I’ve said it before but boy, was he lucky to have played for us and Pep. He should be eternally grateful.

My memory may be faulty but didn't Jesus actually say that he wanted to be a wide attacker rather than a centre forward in the season after Aguero left? I thought that very weird at the time. He effectively had the chance to be the main striker for a team with assisters like KdB and turned it down in favour of playing as a wideman where we were already strong with Mahrez, Sterling, Foden etc.

That's exactly how I remember it too mate.
 
Crying not getting picked....left and won fuck all....pep wins us the treble. Pep over any player all day long....to get rid of our only recognised left back in January and to go on and lift 3 trophies is remarkable and can be questioned by nobody.

Normally agree with most things Craig Burley says, but he is speaking shit here.

Just shows that Jesus was not mentally strong.

Kompany didn't cry, he battled his way back into the team which culminated in the Leicester goal and the Premier League. That is the difference.
