He'll do well to hit the heights of Robinho.
Gabriel Jesus | Arsenal
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
Surprised City only went for a player named after an archangel and a son of God. Was sure they'd make a bid for God God.
We only sign players for £200k+ a week though. God plays for free, much like Rooney. Has anybody ever seen god and Rooney in the same room?
Yes, if you include seeing Rooney eating a burger imprinted with an uncanny resemblance of Jesus.
Jesus scores! I love Jesus! Are the t shirts on sale yet?
Looks great so far, mind you so do many players. Let's see what he is doing this time next year before calling him the messiah..
Pep nicked his watermelon simile when talking about Gabby Jesus from Mourinho.
"You never know. It's like a watermelon. You have to open to see if it's good or not." [Pep, last night]
"Young players are a little bit like melons. Only when you open and taste the melon are you 100 per cent sure that the melon is good. Sometimes you have beautiful melons but they don’t taste very good and some other melons are a bit ugly and when you open them, the taste is fantastic… One thing is youth football, one thing is professional football. The bridge is a difficult one to cross and they have to play with us and train with us for us to taste the melon." [Jose Mourinho, a few years ago]
"Taste my melon" [Ian Holloway, possibly]

Looked great alongside Sane & Sterling with De Bruyne behind him.
If only Jose would drop Zlatan & do the same with Martial & Rashford.

... not sure if serious...
Gift from the Gods Fergie and BusbyYou sure do
Gift from the Gods Fergie and Busby
Thank goodness those days are over !
They talk so hip but they're twisting their melons man
He looks class.
3 tap-ins. Far from WC atm.
Awful header. Should have cost his team the win.
Would be dropped and made to play as a lwb under Jose.
Very lively at the least.
He's gonna be a good 'un. Nothing 'jammy' about being in the right position for tap ins.
Jesus saves Pep.
still too early to say how he will go but he's obviously very talented
Could become world class.
Could become world class.
Wrong. Mourinho gets a hard-on for players like him. His workrate on and off the ball is exceptional.
Making me miss Rashford upfront. There was never any harm with building for the future. Oh well.
I don't know what he was trying with that attempt. No need to move every limb when going for a free header
His overall play was very good. Looked very difficult to dispossess. The flick on to put Silva through was class.
His positioning and near post runs are very good too. It's being talked about like it is a fluke, but he knows where to be. It's no fluke. That's what centre forwards work on constantly.
4 games, 3 goals and 1 assist. I mean what more do people want! He's had an excellent start and looks a brilliant prospect.
He's been pretty good, but the way he's been hyped up has been absolutely ridiculous.
The commentators were jizzing themselves with every touch he took, to the point where at the end of the game one of them even said "look at that smiling face" at the end of the game.

Wrong - he would play him in the wrong position & ask him to solely concentrate on work rate.
I wonder if City fans acted like this with Rashford last season.
Something to be said about having the knack Of being in the right place at the right time, but the wankfest is indeed overboard. Tap ins.
Wait a full season before he's declared a top player. Super talent.

Watching this lad shine makes me wish Mourinho would put more faith in Rashford up front over Ibra on occasion and give Martial more starts.
City were pathetic in the second half except Jesus who was constantly on the move.
Isn't this what we used regularly mock Liverpool fans for?You sure do
Maybe a lack of success turns supporters into Liverpool like fans.
I don't think anyone has said anything more than that he looks an exceptional talent, which he does.
How long before City fans sing :
Oh happy days, oh happy days, when Jesus scored..... ?
Oh happy days, oh happy days, when Jesus scored..... ?
What more do I want, that he wouldn't play for Shity for starters.
Not denying this. Just need to show more.
He looks a very good talent. Just stop.
Mourinho has given them enough chances and they have only got themselves to blame for lack of composure and poor finishing. They have only scored 2 goals each in PL ffs. Gabriel Jesus has outscored both of them in 150 mins of PL football.
Can't disagree. Any other manager would've dropped Ibrahimovic for Martial or Rashford.
