Gabriel Jesus

a front 3 of him and Kun plus one from nolito sane or sterling should be very mobile very interchangeable and also have it all; pace power dribbling ability in one on ones and creativity plus the work rate especially with either nolito or sterling either side of Kun.

The one thing that this lad really brings is that one on one ability which no one in our team had in particular abundance and that is invaluable against the park the bus teams (which most are when they come to our place)

Not really like when Barça got Neymar as he'd established his name and stature over two more years than Gabriel has had chance to do in Brazil and the difference in price tags shows that (€32m:€58m) and Neymar won South America's Best Player award even when Messi was at his best.

Gabriel is 19 and has played 81 games and scored 28 goals for Palmeiras. At the same age Neymar had played 155 games and scored 80 goals for Santos and by the time he signed for Barça he'd played 225 games and scored 136 goals for Santos as well as running games on his own bagging many assists as well as his goals.

But that's not to say Gabriel can't end up being just as good as Neymar. He's a different type of player as well so it won't be a direct comparison other than goals scored. Gabriel is likened more to the real Ronaldo than to Neymar.

Ronaldo was more prolific than both though at a young age. At 21 he'd played 153 games and scored 145 goals for Cruzeiro, PSV and Barça. That's quite unbelievable and shows how far a lot of overrated players today at a similar age are away from the quality of the likes of Ronaldo when you see sayings like "one of the best young players in the world" attached to just quite good players.

He'll have to be given time to settle & a lot of support.

His first time away from home on a new continent. We'll need to be patient with him as with Sane.

Plenty of 15/20 minute cameos if the circumstances are right.

Yeah I agree. Is he going to cut it in the PL straight away and become the greatest goalscorer we have seen or are we being hyped up about him ?
