Gabriel Jesus

This guy is just unreal. Feel like he will be another player that we will deeply regret not signing. And for what? Spending almost just as much on freaking Paco.

No way he'd get in before MSN for at least another 2 years. Its different at City where Aguero is guaranteed to get injured every other month for at least 3+ weeks.

with msn in front, gabriel would be crazy to accept bench in years when he needs alot of playing time and developing, barca just cant sing every promising talent out there.

He isnt just a "promising talent". He's a fantastic player at 19 years old. We hardly ever sign these players so the idea that we cant sign every one of them is absurd. Available at the same price we paid for Paco. He would get lots of playing time for us since he can play all 3 positions up front and Messi and Suarez are 30 years old. Since Gabriel Jesus tracks back alot unlike Messi, maybe we would play Messi behind Suarez, Gabriel Jesus and Neymar as well in some games.

I understood he rejected us because he wanted to be pep's boy.
Hardly Barca's fault.

Players say alot of stuff to please the fans. No player has ever said that they move to City because of money. They are told what to say. I dont buy these stories at all. If he had signed for us, he would have said he chose us because of playing with Messi, playing for the best team in the world or some other reason.

yeah, maybe, maybe not, who knows, its about coach, and sub messi, neymar or suarez more often for gabriel, they would not be happy, and give him only last 20 minutes, its not enough for young player to develop, its okay for players like pedro. Pep probably promised him alot of playing time in city, and thats the reason, cry over why barca didnt bring him, doesnt make sense because there is no space for him, maybe in few years, same for dybala


edit: attack is not problem in barcelona, so why bring him, barca need WC midfielder in this moment.

a bright and energetic start, especially for one so young, but there is much for him to prove before the hype is realized. many a precocious footballer has had his flame shine brightly for a moment only for it to flicker later. i.e. saviola

A highly versatile player like Gabriel Jesus would easily get 2500-3000 minutes in his first season for us, especially since we have zero forward alternatives and Messi in particular would also probably like to play more centrally as he ages freeing up an attacking space.

It was a massive mistake to get Paco instead of him, no question about it. We are already struggling with funds and we have to soon start making smart and savvy signings, which means buying good value players.

He told in an interview he wanted to join Man City because Pep was the only manager who actually called him.

City and many EPL teams will also move your entire family to England if need be. And for Jesus they did.

And this is not even beginning to think about the money is he getting that probably eclipse any amount we offer.
