Gabriel Jesus

[MillionDollarDream]

Spanish media are salty, using the money angle... Afraid to write Pep's new team signed away their # 1 target. Posting old quotes in front pages etc. Barca didn't want to put enough faith in him because they didn't want to rock Neymar's boat, then Neymar was gitty about him in Olympic training trying to recruit him. So Barca's agents fly back again with the "are you really really really really sure" pitch. I'm so glad we got him as he has a better mentality than Neymar.

Revenge is a dish best served cold - remember Peter Reid missing out on a young Luis Figo? ;-)

Hahaha. Absolutely love it mate

 

[Robinho's Subbuteo]

Could we get him to change his name to Yesmar?

 

[jon stakes]

My biggest issue is that we already have one top class talent in Kelechi and if Bony is out that still could stiffe his development. And in all honesty at the moment Kelechi is way better.

Brazil are playing Nigeria in...34 hours.

There's no way Gabriel Jesus is flying here to do anything.

The flights alone would take 22 hours there and back.

South Africa, but point taken

That Tim Vickery is on Talkshite now talking about south American football transfers, should be interesting

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

that will be fun for the lad starting life as a City player in January, he will think WTF have i let myself in for, coming from summer in rio to winter in manchester, will have flu for the first month.

And dead for Easter !

What has he said mate?

What has he said mate?

Nothing of note. Was asked if it looked as though we look to have tied up his signing which he confirmed adding Palmeiras were unhappy that Pep had personally phoned him to get the deal over the line. Offered absolutely no insight as to the type of player or how promising he is. Was basically thrown in as an aside at the end of the conversation.

Kelechi is talented and we've all seen him score in the PL but Gabriel Jesus made his name dispatching my Nigeria's U20 team with Kelechi in the line up scoring inside 10 minutes. He has a better first touch and more creative than Kelechi right now. Having Gaberiel and Kelechi in the team isn't going to harm either one. Gabe is originally a winger and is more creative in that role, he's just added ST to his name. In the Olympics the manager wants potentially 4 forwards who are good on the ball in a 4-2-4 with Gabe up top, he's flexible. Flexibility in attack is the main theme in our signings this window.

Great signing. This lad's going to be a star. Probably start on the left of a 4-3-3 with a view to replacing Sergio as main striker in a couple of years.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Jesus and Moreno sign and we then dont see them for 12 months .....

You will, if you watch Palmeiras and Deportivo ;-)

This is the one player I`ve wanted more than anyone else.Could be a wonderful crowd pleaser.

 

[Barcon]

He'll only miss the one game before he's back though

Not if he sees his own shadow. He'll be gone for another six weeks.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Is he related to Lee Harvey Oswald? (one for the older brigade!)

At least he'll shoot straight.
