Gabriel Jesus

[BluessinceHydeRoad]

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.

The press aren't saying anything much,he is going under the radar which is good

Think his coach has said he will be the next Messi. Bloody hope so but a lot of pressure

All coaches big up their players,the important thing is there is no media pressure yet,they might change later but by then pep will be in his head and he will be looked after

What squad number...?

 

[Metalartin]

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.

 

[Centurions]

What squad number...?

33

 

[1.618034]

Remind us who that was

 

[stony]

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.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Remind us who that was

Nastasic?

 

[typicalcity...]

Remind us who that was

Nastastic if I remember rightly

 

[r.soleofsalford]

Nastastic if I remember rightly

correct

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Nastastic if I remember rightly

He was the 8th wearer of the number 33, since it was first used in 1994/95. Others?
