Gabriel Jesus

Did anyone bite?

Needed a second keepnet after ten pages Dax ! I felt the Rashford bit at the end stretched his credibility to breaking point but giddy folk are extra gullible I guess ...

Great comments from Robinho.

I had a nosey on there ealier. The first page of the Gabriel Jesus thread they were saying he's the best Brazilian since Neymar and by the end he's average

Sure you didn't mean our Pogba thread? ;0)

I have to be honest and say I'd never heard of him until we got linked with him. Can anyone tell me what to expect and which players he's similar to if possible. Thanks. Also for those that don't know, Brazil play South Africa tomorrow at 8pm in the Olympics so hopefully we can get a good look at him

He's a standard Brazilian creative player with all the tricks and flair combined. He wants to pattern his game after the original Ronaldo. I think over time we won't have to worry about who replaces Kün.

The Brazil league is a lot more physical than you think, at least for him. He is constantly chopped down and yet he keeps going back for more and he shows great tenacity battling for the ball. His ability to hold off defenders is quite good given his pretty slim frame currently.

Really looking forward to seeing him in blue. If he continues to improve we already have Aguero's eventual replacement imo.

i had posted a while back that he's the 2nd most fouled player in the league, over 50 fouls in 14 games this season(he's missed the last 3 for Olympic training). Also pitch/stadium conditions aren't always the greatest so I think he should be able to handle the cold rainy nights at Stoke.

Headline in The Telegraph:

Manchester City beat Barcelona in race to sign 'the new Neymar' - Gabriel, Jesus.

Are you sure they didn't print it like this ?

Probably more like what they feel.

Good article

I'm still surprised that some people don't trust YouTube in 2016. Especially now a days where you have a player like Gabriel Jesus with all the hype that there a dedicated channel to all his touches from practically every game he's played in the 1st team + the Olympics.
At least with a talent like this you can get a more accurate gauge.

Hi. I am a Palmeiras fan and can tell you guys you signed one of the best players I have seen arising from Brazil in a long long time (and I ve seen lots of them). Gabriel is fast, pure technique, take good decisions and do the right plays almost allways and is evolving very very fast. He is not like Neymar, he is much more of a striker, a little bit like Ronaldo when he emerged from Cruzeiro.

Please take good care of him, know that you guys have now 20 million new fans (size of the palmeiras torcida. I confess I registered here since I am going to follow him wherever he goes) and be ready for good things in the future.

By the way, the chant we've done to him (its allways sung in allianz parque, palmeiras stadium), which is pretty much the same in english is:

Gloria Gloria Aleluia! Gloria Gloria Aleluia! Gloria Gloria Aleluia! É Gabriel Jesus!

Cheers!

This is all too emotive for me :)
