✍️ OFFICIAL Gabriel Jesus

[drippin]

Abramah/Osimhem = Aubamayeng replacement.
Eddie = Lacazette replacement.
Jesus = Martinelli/ESR replacement or more to the point pushing those two in particular to up their game. For instance Martinelli who has effectively taken over ESR spot in the side in the second half of the season has 1 goal in 19 games. That level of output isn't anywhere near good enough for a CL side.

Agree on Osimhen & Abraham.

Jesus is the Lacazette replacement though, but at the same time he is the Pepe replacement, to give rest to Saka.

About Martinelli, he hasn't played many full games recently, and he has an assist in each of the last games when he played more.

But it will be interesting if Arteta will try Jesus or Saka on LW to try to upgrade our starting eleven level. LW is packed at City so I would assume that could be the main reason why Jesus has played on the RW at City, so he might try Jesus on the left.

Liking the project eh? Not surprising he has much interest with a year in contract.

Yes he still at Young age and very good player. But does look we the favorite to get him.

 

[MartiSaka]

Saka aside he's comfortably better than anything we've got.

Is he good enough to drag the team to the next level, constantly over perform his xg and carry certain other young players where less is openly expected of them? Absolutely not, but that's what he would be signing up for.

If things go wrong and he's starting, they won't be looking at Mikel or the kids. You have to keep that in mind when you come to Arsenal.

He better not turn up to meetings late in that case

 

[MartiSaka]

Barca were a bit of a shambles by the time he got the job tbf.

He was pretty lucky with the set of players he had emerging from the academy at that time, it would be like winning the lotto.

 

[Trilly]

For comparison at City Mahrez has 11 goals in EPL and Sterling has 12 goals.

 

[Camron]

Jesus rose and smelled the coffee. Coming to The Arsenal so he can actually win the CL.

Want to articulate so we can discuss? Or have you lost it?

They get rotated a lot, if those players played with the regularity of our guys they'd be twice as productive. We definitely need a certified goal scorer in the team.

As for your statement about them being young and their goal tallies most likely increasing that's far from the case. ESR had a massive purple patch, Saka can't finish and as for Gabi idek what he's on.

 

[UnitedBeard]

Great signing for arsenal. He will fit in 100%. The way how Arteta used Lacazatte, this guy is the perfect striker for arteta. Can score, has great technique, good hold up play and link-up play.

And also I never understand why Arteta even wanted Vlahović if he’s going to play him like Lacazatte then he will ruin Vlahović’s true potential like how he ruins Auba this season.

ESR and Martinelli have also shared the responsibility for LW, so it evens it out. They would also get more points at City with better players to play with.

We need a certified goal scorer and Osimhen is my favourite. Jesus is a different backup option that can also upgrade our starting eleven especially if he can play LW (if my speculation is right that City already has enough LW's in Grealish & Sterling, and that is a big reason Jesus has played RW. I checked and before this season, before Grealish, he has mostly played striker and sometimes LW.)

Their goal tallies don't necessarily have to increase, but they need to get consistency which comes with experience, and of course I expect young players will improve who have such potential.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Arteta as usual refused to talk about other players when asked about G.Jesus.

 

[berric]

This is cooking.

Get CL and we move.

[MD3 Gunner]

For 42m, that''s not a great deal for us tbh

 

[Batman]

Seems like a goer. Much better than those dreadful Sterling rumors. He can stay away.

 

[field442]

For 42m, that''s not a great deal for us tbh

I thought it would’ve cost us around £35m so £42m isn’t too far away from that.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

£42m for a player with 1 year on his contract? Arteta wants to take a few of those trophies back he won for Pep if he's going to be like that

Fee's annoying but he's a player. Even though he can obviously play all across the front I'd like to see him given a real run up top. He's always kind of been second fiddle at Man City in that respect.

Not a player that's going to win you titles but one that can definitely help push us up a level.

 

[berric]

Oh yes, my number 9!

And about the fee... Don't know. What to expect with Edu at the helm... Wouldn't be surprised if he came back with Fernandinho instead.

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

This right here, is potentially a top top signing. I can't wait until it's over the line. Defenders won't be able to rest with Martinelli, Jesus and Ødegaard pressing.
