Gabriel Jesus (Out)

[LookingForEric]

A huge offer from Saudi Arabia would be a huge stoke of luck. We're so poor at selling players, I'd be astonished if we could pull this off.

We’re poor at selling players but also the environment to sell players has been poor. When you aren’t in the CL 7 years in a row people aren’t going to look twice at your dregs.

Now you’ll start seeing a shift in who wants our players and how many clubs are interested. I think prices may be lower this summer, the lowest for some time in fact.

Are you saying that you think Jesus is as washed up as Pato? I feel he's been quality even in his limited minutes. Jesus looks much better if you forget that he's a striker and think of him as a winger. If he keeps fit he could be a productive player for us.
In fact if the choice is between keeping him and loaning him to Brazil then I believe we'll just keep him.

We need at least two prolific scorers in the attack. Saka is scoring enough, Trossard scored enough, Havertz is not scoring enough but if we think him as a new Firminho then is ok IF ... Both wingers score like Salah and Mane did. We can't afford a winger with fear to score if we don't have a super clinical world class striker.

It's been always this way, if your wingers can't score you CF must be a goalscorer, the alternative is your CF support the wingers to score.

Then Saka is not scoring enough. Understand where you’re coming from though. I thought about Jesus as a Firmino type impact and the setup Pool had with free scoring wingers.

But we also have Ødegaard and I’ll challenge people to find a midfielder that has better output than Rice this season. So for us I think it’s more about many chipping in. Not denying that having someone in the frontline that’s more dependable would be very good and propel us even further

Ah, yes. Uselessbumps when this stuff could be talked about on his own player thread.

Silly season is back
