Gabriel Jesus

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.

Essentially David Villa circa 2011 then?
 
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.

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?
