Gabriel Jesus

If they dont know exactly how long the paperwork will take, what do you want them to say ? Have a guess and watch the panic when the guess isn't right. Better just wait until they know intead of looking amateurish by keep giving dates and seeing them pass.
Not much a PR department can do if they are waiting on Brazil or FIFA or third parties.

Well I don't know where you've worked but the job of a PR department is to manage expectations, sometimes even put a spin on things, but never to cringe below the parapet.

Khaldoon Al Mubarak on Gabriel Jesus: "He's an incredible talent. When we first started looking at him about a year ago, he was unknown."

Khaldoon on Gabriel Jesus: "We have a lot of aspirations for him, but we have to be patient. He's 19 and there's still time to adjust."

Khaldoon on Jesus: "He's very young, Brazilian, going to Europe and the PL and we're very conscious not to put too much pressure on him."

I posted it this afternoon

I saw that, Karen, but it doesn't address the current situation.

And see my shitstains? No thanks.

People acting like kids at Christmas ;)
Stop flapping and hey we might even see him come Easter.
Who cares?
It isn't as though we're battling relegation or something.
We have a decent squad as it is.

I think you need to direct your post at someone else.

The club are not going to give updates on a transfer,they never do and rightly so,we announced him in august and it's just paperwork from brazil we are missing

I would say they have managed expectations, letting people know its a long term signing are there is no urgency to rush him into anything, and to let him settle. The legal stuff will sort itself out in it's own time.

Right. Let's leave it there as we are miles apart and getting no closer.

Not sure how people can defend this. It is a farce whichever way you wish to spin it.

omg what happens if it drags on after the January transfer deadline, he wont be able to play, we were going to win the league with him and the cl, i even told my friend he would score the winner in the fa cup final, but now we are doomed, I can see us falling out of the top four, in fact I can see us going into freefall and wouldn't surprise me if we aren't fighting relegation at the end of the season, all fucking peps fault, him and his stupid bald head, well fuck you .

It's a blow but on the upside, another week of training and integration. Goodison is a tough place to make your debut.
