Those of us of a certain age will never forget another "boy from Brazil" who came to Europe for the World Cup as a 17 year old, scored the only goal in the quarter final, a hat-trick in the semi and scored twice in the final. But he did wear the number 10 shirt! Maybe we'd better wait and see before we dismiss him as too young.
 
Think your thinking of a guy called Pele. He turned out to be much better than good.

Let's hope Gabriel Jesus has a similar impact.

Unbelievable hype being ramped up by the press currently.
Hope he lives up to the billing.
 
Who cares if the media are trying to downplay this signing, there's so much buzz around him from inside City and in Brazil that he's going to have a positive impact... I just hope we don't pile too many expectations on him too soon, he needs to enjoy his football.
 
With all the hype, If he doesn't score a hattrick on his debut and back scuttle Gemma Arterton in the mens bogs after pissing in the sink at half time, he will be considered a flop of Bradbury proportions.
