Gabriel Jesus rejects new contract offer - The Times

Why would we be discussing his contract unless there's an automatic annual review period.
He's been out for a good part of the season as well.
I'm sure it'll be same as Sterling and hoping he has a good tournament to be in a stronger bargaining position. He seems happy enough.
 
At 50, and after supporting City for 44 years, in which I've attended somewhere around 750 games, this will be my last season!

And why?; well it is because of the modern day footballers like Jesus and Sterling, coupled with their agents. I simply can no longer stand anything that modern football offers. Whether it's the player's ego, the agent's greed, pationless sanitised stadia, ridiculous kick off times, media saturation and the business philosophy and commercialism of it all, it's simply extinguished my fire for the game.

This from someone, who at the age of 12, often used to walk for 2 hours to attend games at Maine Rd, just so I could save my bus fare to ensure I could buy both a match programme and then a football pink once I was back home. That's the pation I once had for City, fuelled by the mystique, that our club could once generate within me!

My only consolation I suppose is that whatever he earns, and whoever he plays for in the future, it won't be funded by me.

Ah, but Firmino plays for one of the media's pet clubs. If they had their way all top international sides would consist of rag, Spurs and Liverpool players, with a few plucky Welsh and Irishmen from the likes of Sunderland and Southampton.

This can be the only reason LaLa gets in the England squad. A handful of games this season (and it's a handful of games this season that keeps Joe Hart on the bench, and plenty of other players!) and pretty useless to boot!

Sorry to hear that so my questions are how many points have you got and can I buy the ticket going forward ;)
 
Stupid City. A ready-made replacement for Aguero could become a ready-made replacement for Ronaldo
 
Some bizarre comments in this thread, many from the usual suspects.

Jesus just wants a bit more dosh to put him in line with other forward players in the team.

He has every right to hold out for a bit more and doesn't have to accept the first contract given to him. Hardly sounds like he's being a dick about it.

So you were happy watching Danny Mills, Steve McMinimum etc robbing a living from us but Jesus and Sterling getting the going rate is the final straw. My advice would be to stop reading the papers and coming on here and just continue going to see the best City side any of us have ever seen.

So much to say about this post Mr and it's not to have a go at you but more to convince you why you shouldn't give up your season card
You must be, or close to being, a FOC (I'm not far off that myself) how much are you paying for your season card?

If true, the 90k p/w is less than the mediocre Lingard earns now.
In his position I'd be asking City to rethink the offer also.

Probably. If I were in Gabriel Jesus's boots I'd probably be doing the same. Individual players are now superstars but there can only be 2 or 3. Messi and Ronaldo days are numbered, and the new guard is about to take over. A young kid playing in Brazil's no. 9 shirt has a great opportunity.

Exactly. I’m surprised he only wants 100k to be honest. KDB, Sane, Gabby can all step up to be amongst the best in the world. By that I mean top 5.
 
see the papers and some off our own making something massive out off this.sterling has asked for the same they have the world cup on there minds for God sake and Jesus has a long deal so no need to rush just get the best deal for him and the club..chill out.
 
Not really unduly worried about this. He has plenty of time left on his existing deal, and his reported demands don't seem unreasonable. Not surprised if his agent has advised him to wait until after the World Cup, because his value could soar if he has a good tournament.

When an average footballer is earning 400k plus every week down the road and has scored less than goals than you even though u spent a significant timr out with injury i think you are right to demand more than 90 k in todays market. 110-120k plus bonusses would be reasonable

Just exactly what I thought. What on earth are City playing at? It’s one thing to take a stand (as we did on Sanchez), it’s quite another to muck around haggling over a sum that means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of City’s resources, when you’re talking about a player who is already,at his tender age, one of the very best players in a team that are one of two or three favourites for the WC. Get this done, ffs, City! And preferably, before the World Cup.
 
Regardless of money, it will all come down to where he sees himself in a few years time, and after the Neymar transfer last summer, we can't be certain of anything, especially if Jesus has a good World Cup.
