✍️ OFFICIAL Gabriel Jesus

[drippin]

We could go for a cheaper striker along with Jesus. If Leeds go down, I heard a rumour that Bamford, Phillips and Raphinha all have less than 30 million relegation clauses.

So Jesus and Bamford for example would be okay, if we use the money on another midfielder upgrade. Again it all depends on our funds.

What I do think and hope, after last summer being some proof of it, is that Kroenke has now realized that we need to really improve the team now, so not to drop to be only an UEL club. So I assume they will use funds next summer, especially if we get UCL.

 

[Rasmi]

Yeah fair point but all strikers get injuries at some point in their careers. Doesn't mean they should be written off. Just think his all round game is better than DCL. Ideally we go for someone of a higher calibre, but who?

Osimhen? Napoli will demand 85mil. Cannot see us splashing that. We are not a Utd or a Chelsea who just throw money around hoping some of it sticks. Our signings seem to be a lot more considered & planned.

Will be an interesting watch, as the striker market is quite condensed. If Arteta wants DCL tho, he must see enough in him to think he'll fit the system & add the goals. Im not convinced by him tho.

Bamford or Osimhen? What is our end goal? Balance the books and make the CL spending as little as possible? The whole purpose of getting to CL was we would attract better players and spend more money. If all this work and the reward is to get players we could get if we even finished 10th then what’s the point? We can afford Osimhen. We are a wealthy club

I have opted for Osimhen in my speculations.

But the other option is to upgrade our starting midfield and depth fully.

All depends on the funds, which is mostly speculation on our part.

Relegation clauses like that are normally pretty rare aren't they? Sounds a bit unlikely, but if it was true then Phillips would be the pick of that bunch (on the basis that you could keep Nketiah and Raphinha wouldn't be needed if Jesus came in). Phillips and Tielemans together would be a cracking set of midfield squad additions.

I think Raphinha goes to Barcelona, and not needed if we get Jesus. And I hated his whining against us.

Phillips yeah, I would buy him for cheap to upgrade our midfield. He is another great option in the summer. There are plenty so we should make very good use of it hopefully. This is why I'm fine with Jesus and a cheaper striker if there are not enough funds otherwise.

Lyon also is out of European football next season, so those midfielders with 1-2 years in contract are nice bargains.

Leeds are in deep ****.

"Leeds United could lose Kalvin Phillips, Patrick Bamford and Raphinha for a combined total of £90million in the summer due to relegation release clauses in their contracts, according to the Daily Mail."

Ngl I kinda want him just for the potential of fielding an XI where 27% of the players are Brazilians named Gabriel.

Yeah, Lyon are another team to keep an eye on for sure. Paqueta is near the top of my wish list signings... Would be a real quality addition but he has a similar role to Tielemans so we wouldn't go for both.

Yeah, I think they want to opt for EPL proven players if possible.

Can't argue with it either, especially if those players are available at sensible fees. It's the smart strategy this summer to (hopefully) cement top 4

Can see Newcastle going big for Paqueta in the summer.

Opening bid will probably be €40M & we'll settle for something close to €50M I'd imagine.

Let's not forget his face which is perpetually set in crying mode. That alone is bad as it saps the morale of the team around him.

They're already playing for Tets, isn't that punishment enough?

 

[Red London]

So frustrating how they’re demanding this while getting Haaland for chump change.

 

[2Smokeyy]

60m jheez

Gabriel Jesus is not worth that. I’d look elsewhere and let him run down his contract imo.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Definitely not going to be cost 50-60M. If he has 2+ years then yeah it could cost that amount but not when his agent already giving big signals of his client leaving and his client have 1 year left.

Man city are good when selling but they aren't really desperate for money and already bought Alvarez and Haaland anything between 35-40M and they selling.

 

[Red London]

60m euros is not far from his market value with 3 years left on his deal.

He’s defo more in the 40-50m range right now.
