Gabriel Jesus

When a club you want to be your rival is offering YOU a player, that has to set off alarm bells. Man-City and a lot of top clubs have ‘backwards’ scouting for which they can identify players who would strengthen other teams, so as to know not to sell to them.

No alarm bells in my opinion.

- Jesus told City he wants to leave. Not the other way around. 

- City either sell him now or risk losing him for much less. 

- Jesus and his agent publicly stated they want to stay in the Premier League.

This was in response to reports Man-City themselves have offered him to us. With one year left on his contract, they are looking for a fee and don’t see us as a threat nor the idea of him being in our setup as an elite force against them. 

 
We aren't going to much of a threat with Jesus In our side..   No excitement from me at all.. Boring. How old is he? 

 
Man-City are not bothered about a player joining a rival, this should always set off alarms bells. I don’t care about any comparisons because City have an ‘elite’ setup within the organisation, when Madrid let go of Makalele, Zidane went on to say “it’s like buying a Ferrari and selling the engine”. I know it’s too early to expect an overhaul of the transfer strategy, scouting and general talent i.d, but I’d at least like us to be linked with the not-so-obvious lazy EA Sports Fifa manager mode transfers. 

 
Most goals he's ever scored in the PL season is 14. And only scored more than 10, twice.

Who’s available that is both PL proven, fit for our system, and scores more goals than Jesus?

He scored 2 more goals than Broja in the Premier League this season and funnily enough they have the same market value (although mainly down to the contract status) but nonetheless. Jesus has not raised his game when it mattered the most, he’s not in the Brazil team, there is an unselfishness about him which doesn’t suit the profile of a number 9, we can blame Pep all we like but it might well be a mental block. He’s not the kind of signing to get excited about in terms of challenging and becoming a force again.

It’s just all very uninspired as far as a transfer goes.

 
He is only 25 which is quite young for a striker. So arguably he hasn't reached his peak yet. I could see him being the type of striker who would fit well with Tuchel's system. He has not been a regular starter for the most part at City (playing backup to the likes of Aguero), and he is probably anticipating less playing time with Haaland arriving. I can see why he wants to leave.

 
Happily have him or Broja rotate as our main striker. Still think Havertz will be best off a main striker not as the 9 itself.

Apparently GJ price tag is 35mill.

I think he could be decent value at that price.

 
G. Jesus is the only striker on the market i wouldn't be against us taking a gamble on. Isn't going to cost extortionate amounts of money, can lead a press amazingly from the front and if he isn't what we need to lead the line going forward is more than capable playing off the wing/behind the main striker. Sell Lukaku/Werner and go into next season with Kai/Jesus/Broja. 

 
Never been too impressed by him. Would rather go in for Sterling and Dembele out of the options that are being touted. 

 
a decent player but I don’t think we should rely on him to be the player that will move us closer to city or Liverpool.

along with him we will need more reinforcements like dembele and even sterling.

He's useful in build up play as well, so that makes him an immediate upgrade on Werner who doesn't even look like a professional footballer at times.

Its true about Timo, although I feel disloyal agreeing, as I still like Werner and pray that he will come good with us and not go elsewhere to come good 😉

 
The price is right, and I think Jesus is better that Timo, Pulisic, CHO, and Ziyech - so he would improve our team. He can play on the wing a bit too. I think he and Havertz could work well up top together, and also would give teams nightmares with their pressing.

If Lukaku ends up staying, play him against the mid and low table sides since that’s when he scores goals. Play Jesus and Havertz in big games and top of the table teams.
