Any reason he has still not been announced? I know there was a delay because of 3rd party issues but haven't they been sorted?

Nice video cheers.

Agree with pretty much everything. I don't think there is a system Guardiola could come up with, which wouldn't suit Gabriel Jesus, once he settles in. I honestly think he even could 'do' James Milner if we wanted to dumb him down. He is clever & hard working, he could turn his hand to anything over time imo.

The vision I have in my head, is Jesus attacking the penalty area at pace from a wideish position, enabling us to flip diagonal passes over /through the back line for him to run on to or him to be in that fresh air position we often see when a ball goes through the 6 yard box. Of course he could do that in a 2 3 4 even as a loan striker. But it's a pass we rarely use, which Barca etc do all the time, maybe because we don't have scorers who can play that role. Well we do now. Pep may see it different, but I have a feeling this is what he was alluding to.

Jesus imo, is like the player Robinho would be, in our dreams. But the young, raw version. As you say, this is a player every club in the world would jump at signing, & he chose us.

As far as signing young players goes, this is a Neymar level transfer. Possibly the biggest deal we have ever done when you look at the competition.

Great video. Only thing that wasn't right was that he had five goals in six games for Brazil, not four.

Cheers mate. Pedro was usually the biggest beneficiary of those passes from what I can remember. Messi's had a field day picking Neymar out too in that role. Definitely think GJ could suit that perfectly given Silva and KDB's vision. I'm incredibly excited about this transfer - its just big time. They all wanted him, and we got him. Can't overlook the marketing potential either. A Brazilian wonderkid sells shirts, no two ways about it.

Ha! Its actually a pretty naff Squier imitation (yes, a squier imitation - that's how naff it is) Man City guitar that i got as a present many moons ago. Its fine, just not really used tbh compared to my proper ones!

Essentially David Villa circa 2011 then?

If you were inclined you could probably make an hour long compilation of those diagonal right to left, over the top of the defence passes from Messi to Neymar - in fact someone has surely made one. In the treble winning season it felt like watching someone who'd discovered a flaw in FIFA, they just did it over and over and over again.
 
It seems a little odd that we have not yet seen any photos of him in a City shirt. Has there been any confirmation from the club that the technical issue has been sorted?
