If Danny Ings doesn't come, they'll probably be expecting us to sign Charlie Austin instead...

Once you take out penalties Jesus' minutes per goal hasn't been that different to Kane's.Kane may have a better minutes to goal ratio and can certainly take a penalty. However, is it worth paying £100m+ (less what we could get for Jesus) for that and lose a player who is near as damn it perfect for the pressing game we play? Especially when many on here think Gabby is worth next to fuck all.
Totally get your point, but our club cannot just discount Kane's penalty record. It's above average and Jesus' is very much below average. You want your top striker to be taking penalties and you want to be confident they will put it into the back of the net. I get that it skews stats like that, however.Once you take out penalties Jesus' minutes per goal hasn't been that different to Kane's.
I’d like Kane but not at the expense of Jesus.
Any new CF we sign should be to compliment, not replace Jesus.
If he himself decides it’s time to go then fair enough, not much we can do about that but we’d be mad to push it ourselves.

Gabriel Jesus : 123 starts plus 72 as a substitute. 82 goals. Pretty decent record in my eyes. I reckon that equates to a very good minutes to goal ratio.
Of those 82 goals, about 80 of them are as a starter too, his figures are massively diluted by getting a lot of short sub appearances.
He'll go and score 30 a season somewhere when he does go.

Sure - but Kane's penalty record is similar to Gundogan - 86% to 85%, with Kev not far behind on 80% (which is one less penalty scored every 2-3 years). It's handy having extra penalty takers on the pitch, but it's hardly a £100m bonus.Totally get your point, but our club cannot just discount Kane's penalty record.

Jesus and Kane are very different players though - I'd prefer Jesus to stay (even if Kane comes), and be judged less as a pure striker, and more on his overall contribution to the team's attack. He offers so much on top of his goal threat - which is still hugely impressive given the minutes he gets on the pitch.

Better with Steve AustinIf Danny Ings doesn't come, they'll probably be expecting us to sign Charlie Austin instead...
Well, we all know how much Steve Austin is worth anyway. His value hasn't changed over the decades.Better with Steve Austin
