Sorry khaled, this makes no sense at all. Getting Gameiro opens the door for Gabriel Jesus? How? If Gameiro comes I doubt we would even be going after Gabriel Jesus because both are forwards, and sub for MSN. Also, you made it sound like Gabriel Jesus is definitely joining us and we can just safely let him stay in Brazil. That is nonsense. The longer we wait, the bigger the chances of another club coming and snatching him, for example Real Madrid.
Of course, it is a balance of what is considered more important. Yes MSN needs a sub should one of them get injured, but to me I think getting Gabriel Jesus is more important for our club's future so I am willing to let the result this season suffer a bit should the unthinkable happen. It is all about weighing pros and cons and each option and personally I'd go with a long-term solution instead of a short-term solution.
We have unmatched connections in Brazil (that many believe it is full of dirty work) that give us huge advantage,Sanllehí was there,Gabriel spoke about his interest to play for Barca and he isn't afraid to compete with MSN,his coach spoke about him joining Barca advising him to wait a year b4 moving to us.we suddenly get a 1st option and 9M buy option for a CB they signed 2 months ago (remember the 7M we paid for 1st option of 3 Santos players in Neymar deal?)
Obviously nothing is definite until papers are signed,but you are just too naive if you don't see the writings on the wall.The kid is our top target from Brazilian market and we are in pole position to get him and no one is even close second
But the kid doesn't want it to happen immediately,he isn't gonna be a part of our current budget and the smart thing to do is to actually wait a couple of years b4 bringing him.otherwise you aren't building for the future .signing young talent isn't gonna be a good future move if you are gonna ruin his career or ain't able to use him.
And the 1st team need a striker immediately ,the smart thing to do is to bring someone who can fill the void for 2 years and don't stand in his way after that.the club can afford to do both.
