City are building quite the formidable team for the future.
Gabriel Jesus | Arsenal
- Thread starter RDCR07
- Start date
Hard to argue that Pogba was a certain star at 19, when he left United after being given absolutely zero first team opportunity.No he isn't.
I've seen all the YouTube videos & even watched a recent Brazil Olympic game to see what all the fuss was about & he looked nothing special. Players like Pogba, Neymar, Hazard were near certain Stars because of their unrivaled technique.
Gabriel doesn't seem to be on that level at all despite playing in a 3rd rate League. I'll be surprised if he turns out to be a success at City.
I'm sure I read on here that Rafael managed a game in midfield before Pogba once.
I remember the last young player who was eager to join a club because he thought that Pep was the best manager to develop under. It didn't work out too well in the end for the little dumpling.
Sane and Jesus will not end up like Sinclar. Be real. Some people just hate for the sake of hating.
Yes young players can go either way and mental and hardwork play an important part in a young players development... But Sane and Jesus are so much more talented than Scott Sinclair ever was.
Also Sterling isn't a finished article yet. He's only 20. As poor as he has been he has plenty of time to turn his form around especially with a coach who will give him better coaching and mentoring than he has ever received in his career so far.
Maybe he didn't apply himself and he was lazy?
I do agree i don't pep is the messiah that city fans are making him to be but there is no denying he has a great track record with young players. Coman and Costa looked really good under him last season
Costa is 25! He managed Coman for one season. It is hardly definitive proof of anything.
Erm yes it is
Coman has definitely improved in the year he has been at Bayern
Same with Costa. Costa was very inconsistent...why do you think it took so long for him to get out of Ukraine? You can see the improvement he has made to his game under Bayern coaching.
You had two different squads with two different problems. Our's is a young squad in desperate need of ready made class players.
Theirs is an old squad in need of some young blood.
They've not had a better window. Their weakest area hasn't improved much. Considering their only signing is out till December.
Costa is still very inconsistent.
No he isn't.

Shit, you watched some clips on Youtube AND a friendly match? Wow, I thought we'd signed a huge talent, but evidently not
No he isn't.

Ehhh... it was an obvious joke.
So are they signing three players in three days? Sane yesterday, Jesus today and Moreno tomorrow?
Should have went to a team that has a track record of developing youth players. He could easily turn to out to be the next Robinho at City.
Is there are 3rd party ownership in this deal?
He'll always be able to tell hs grandkids that he kept the first £100 mil player out of the starting line up. Rafael's finest hour.
Then Stones the day after that probably.
As good a prospect as Dembele, I think. Their attack is looking formidable.
This thread
And you call us the bitters
And you call us the bitters
Well you guys really are though. Nothing is going to change that.
Yeah, because everyone is saying he's shit. Selective much?
There was, and I think the player himself owned a part of him as he received some of the transfer fee.
I've got friends in Brazil who have been raving about this guy for ages. They were sure he was Barcelona-bound. If what they say is true, he's better than Neymar, which is a scary prospect to have at City!
Don't forget Stones the day after!
Don't forget Stones the day after!
They'll surely be different under Pep. Besides, they're terrible for their home-grown youth players. An expensive, hyped Brazilian import is hardly the same thing.
The same media obsession with United which they're always bitching about actually doing them a big favour.
The feck are you on about? Majority saying class talent. Don't confuse us for Bluemoon
He isnt as good as Neymar.
Future stars are never nailed on! Some fulfill their potential many more don't.
Well guess thats better option then to be part owned of some agency,Pini Zahavi type of thing for example.
Have a hard time believing that. I dont think I've ever heard anyone say they feel he's that good, even if he's touted as a potential top player.
So, in January they will have five offensive wonderkids (Sterling, Sané, Zinchenko, Ihenacho, Jesus) in an offensive unit consisting of three established top class players (De Bruyne, Aguero, Silva) and a couple of good other attackers. How in the world is Guardiola supposed to fit them all in and develop them properly? Even with the amount of games City will probably play this will be a bloody competition and one hell of a task to balance that all.
Guardiola will probably try to hipster them in as wingbacks or central mids.
You cannot be serious with that statement!!! City's signings are seriously underwhelming! Unless you think Gundugon will find a cure for his chronic injury record?
Has anyone actually seen Sane and Gabriel play?
I saw him at the last U20 WC. Went to all of Brazils games to watch Periera and came away thinking Jesus was Brazils best player. Dont think he is as good as Neymar though.
Don't understand your comment.
This is the Guardiola effect. Bringing real quality to the side, instead of workhorses and athletic freaks. I'm not saying this kid will be the best in the world but he's way more exciting than Neymar was. But then again, I don't rate Neymar that much. I'm afraid Pepe is already turning to be a great choice for Citieh.
As good as the current Neymar is an incredibly dumb thing to even suggest if that is what is meant.
Meh, don't like the thought of him going to City. He's got ability, he's young and he's Brazilian. Would rather he stays at home a little longer. I don't like feeling envious about lessers. I will do if Jesus signs for that lot. It's literally blasphemy.
