Gabriel Jesus

[cibaman]

Is he in training or having a month long break? If the latter, wont he need a mini pre season before he's ready to play?

Perhaps if he's really keen a run out off the bench in the WHU cup game?

I'd keep him off the pitch til march when the weather improves personally.

March?! He should be in the squad by the end of January.

Yeah but don't want burn out. He's probably gagging to play we do need to look at a bigger picture though.

I'd love him to start V Burnley but it probably would be in his or even the clubs best interests.

When the weather improves?

He's not a cricketer.

If he joins the team in January he's already had a full month of holiday. That's much more than most players get between seasons.

I get the impression he'll play a bigger part then people are expecting, Pep is mentioning him in every press conference, sometimes more than once. When asked if things would get easier when players returned he said yes, we've got fernandinho coming back, then sergio and then Jesus.

I think this is a signing he's been waiting for - more like a 2016 summer signing arriving late than a 2017 summer signing arriving early.

With Sterling in form and Sane starting to click/gain confidence, it'll be a frightening prospect for defences if you add Jesus into the mix.

The pace, trickery, unpredictability, etc, will be difficult to stop.

There's still a lot of improvement in all of those players and I imagine we'll continue to see a lot of missed chances and inconsistency, but once it comes together, which I'm sure it will by next season, it'll be a real treat to watch.

For me I'd be using Sterling/Sane on the right

Kun in the middle

Jesus/Nolito on the left.

So much pace and skill right there.

Agreed.

Tbh I wouldn't mind seeing Sterling, Jesus, Sane as the front 3 on some occasions.

Edit: another possible outcome of the much maligned 3 at the back system, which we will see again at some point, is it opens up the possibility of getting those players, plus Aguero or Kelechi, into the same team, in several configurations.
