A faster, rougher, tougher, younger version of Edin Dzeko. A battering ram to break down packed defences plus no little skill. He certainly can play a bit. Not many like him around. We should be excited by his potential.

This is not true. They pay less than us.
It was someone on here that told me that. I want to say Tolmie but I could be wrong. It seems to make sense that they would get paid more playing for Dortmund first team than our academy. Sancho earns £190K a week at Dortmund I don’t think we were offering that.

Yep, Sancho would have been the most well paid 17 year old in the game if he accepted our offer. If anything he took a pay cut to go to Dortmund.
Nah, Haaland is lightning when he gets a gallop going. Don’t think Delap will be as quick as him, not even close.
Maybe not, but Delap is quicker than most realise. We've just not seen him really stretch his legs yet. He will be faster than most centre-backs, guaranteed.

With Aguero out and now Jesus i'd be more than happy to give him a go, why not. Seems he can handle himself alright.

Haaland is quick over long distances because he's 6'4'' and just has great stride length.
Delap reminds me more of young Ibrahimovic where you just assume a lump that big isn't going to move as fast as he does, but he's probably not out and out quick, I think we'll need to see a few big counter attacks with KDB and Sterling before we can judge it.
He's 17 though. He's likely going to get quicker, he probably hasn't even finished growing or working with a speed coach - Foden only started last season, when he'd been in the first team for 2 years.

Very good debut rounded off with an excellent finish (with his weak foot). Imo Jesus would not have finished that chance and possibly not even aguero. Hope to see more of him this season
Just about to ask the same thing!Jesus is out?!
