Sure we have a lad called Jesus, a hard working skillful striker that for some reason people on here hate nearly as much as Sterling.
But yeah we only have Delap.

Problem is Chelsea, Rags, Dippers (VDK and Gomez back) will be a lot stronger and we'll have stood still. We need to sign a 20 goal striker to improve the team. This team makes chances so we need someone to put them away. If cant find anyone then we should risk it and go with Delap or Torres.We would still have a fantastic team that won the league and got to the champions league final last season. It really wouldn’t be the disaster some people are making it out to be.
Yes he was. The fact he only just qualified for a medal in the 17/18 season shows how little game time he got. 1266 premier League minutes by the age of 20 is the equivalent of 14 games. I'd say that was gradual.So Phil was gradually introduced and has 124 first team appearances and 31 goals before hitting 21 years of age. Not to mention 9 England caps and 2 goals.
I would hate to estimate how many goals and appearances he would have had if he had been thrown in at the deep end?
Played about 30 minutes more league football for us than Dias!

Why not? Talented, ruthless and gives a lot of assists. Reminds me of a younger Kane.
Because City fans nowadays want overhyped "galácticos" or nought.

You're one of the very few on here who calls Gabriel Jesus a striker. He even doesn't sees himself as a striker. But yeah, you can call him that.Sure we have a lad called Jesus, a hard working skillful striker that for some reason people on here hate nearly as much as Sterling.

In answer to the thread… We would get away with it because Gundo, Mahrez, Foden and Sterling will step up and score instead.

I think it's more Pep and txiki who want them. Too much hassle scouting talent.Because City fans nowadays want overhyped "galácticos" or nought.

I agree with you Alf, Jesus is a bloody brilliant striker. His goals to starts record is sound.
I'm hoping he gets plenty of chances this season.
192 Appearances
85 Goals
In many of those appearances he came on as a sub, so had like 20 minutes to score.

That goes in the stats can prove anything category. The fact is he was brought in gradually, was often left out of the big games and/or made many fleeting sub appearances.
