What's that got to do with a Kid arriving from Brazi?
Use the little arrow next to the poster's username to follow the conversation back... it started with the following statement:
Can't say as I've ever seen the lad play even on TV everyone in Brazil seems to rate him lets hope he really is as good as they say,tough to come into Premier league at any time but a freezing cold january really is tough.
 
Will will see him unvelied on Monday evening? I'm hoping so.

While he may only be a nipper,he's a huge talent and certainly a reason for huge optimism going into the New Year.

So,as its now January 1st,i would like to say,officially.....Welcome Jesus and all the very best for your time in blue.
 
I forsee us going back to a back 3 when he arrives. Scoring has been a bit of a concern recently and to get the best out of Kun and himself, they probably need to play together. Kun has shown that if partnered with the right player, he can be at his devastating best. Jesus playing as a lone forward may be a lot of weight on his shoulders especially given the fact that we have a lot of clawing back into the title race to do. If there was one positive from the chelsea match, it was
the fact that 3 at the back can work if a lot of effort goes into making it work and
I think our current brand of attacking
players would profit more from a 3 at the
back. In any case we need a Conte-esque
tactical response from Pep to set us on a
winning run that is capable of closing our
10 points lag and I'm sure he's more than capable of pulling that; I'm recommending the following team for the second half of our season:

3-5-2

----------------Bravo-------------
---Otamendi-Stones-Kolarov---
-------------Fernandinho
Navas--De Bruyne--Silva----Sane
-------Aguero-------G. Jesus

*Maybe Clichy for Kolarov sometimes
*whenever Komps is fit, Stones, Kompany and Otamendi
*Navas and Sane providing width; tactical tweaks to address Sané's weaknesses e.g. if we are up by a couple on 60 mins, Sane gets sacrificed and we revert to a proper back 5 shape
*players that would likely benefit from this system: Kun, Jesus X2, Sane, KDB, Silva. In fact our entire front six
*Gabriel Jesus can help out a great deal with pressing opponents' back 4
*weaknesses of this set up: light defensive cover but I hope it would at least enable us score very often

Might aswell play with ten men as play kolarov
 
This guy is class already, is tenacious and has a workrate!! .... If Pep fancies him as an out and put striker I'd be very worried about my place in the team if I were Aguero!!!

I wouldn't

I think he will provide a huge help to sergio in terms of support which is he getting frankly very little of at the moment

When is he actually available for us....Suprised nothing is not he website about him being here as I thought he became officially a city player today.

If he is fit put him on the bench vs burnley and west ham in the Fa cup and play him if the situation is ok to do so (i.e. we are winning comfortably)

He doesn't even arrive in the country till late tonite or tomorrow,he has a party in Brazil today
 
They said his party was at 5:00. Now I don't know anyone who has a party at 5PM so I'm assuming he's leaving early tomorrow morning.
 
Shall we all wait until he plays a full season for us before we declare him a future ballon d'or winner?
Impossible, we have to get it in now before he's written off as shite and a waste of money at half time on his debut.
 
Let's just say, on the off chance, he gets 10 goals in his first 20 games. It's not enough. Not his fault, we need more players to contribute
