      He looks great but an out and out striker? So Haaland, him, Jesus that are purely old school forwards?

      It seems like Sterling might leave too. Are they going to change formation to play with 2 strikers maybe?

        There have been alot of suggestions about Jesus moving as well. Not sure if there is anything in it...
        The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

          Not a hope in hell they would sell to us and don't have a clue if his character/personality would pass a Klopp test, but he has always looked the sort of player that could be a beast under a manager like Klopp and able to fill te Firmino role in our team albeit using a very different skillset to that of Bobby.

            He's out of contract is he not? So he can go anywhere he likes.

              Nope i think he has a year or two left too.

              I agree with Jaco about most things (apart from the binary number ****e he posted a week or so ago.....had to take a break after that) and I agree here too. Jesus would be a brilliant player for us. He works hard and would fit across the front line - would love to see LFC take him. I think he would need to sit out his contract though and for us to sign him on a free transfer for it to happen. I think City would rather let him be pissed off on the bench for a year rather than sell him to us

                Arsenal have been all in, trying to get Jesus to sign. Don't think there's any way they would sell to us, unless his contract is expiring

                  From what I've seen, previous to this game, he doesn't look anything special and you can quote me on this in a couple of years

                    Our own Lucas Levia looked an amazing attacking player when he was playing in South America.

                      Jesus is a quality player, works hard, great movement and a natural finisher. I think he'll definitely be gone from City and there will be a hell of alot of clubs after him.

                        Tim Vickery has been bigging this new City signing up, A forward with the brain of a midfielder is, or the other way round can;t remember

                        He thinks he is one of the best players to come out of South America for a while.

                          I don't understand how they've got him for only £14m?

                            Luis Diaz left South America for something like 8m.

                            Miltao went from there to Porto for 4m

                            14m is actually a big fee to pay given he is totally unproven and not gone to a lesser European league first.

                            They are taking a punt on him actually being good enough to make the jump from the league he is in to the PL.

                              Yeah normally Premier League clubs don't sign direct from the South American leagues. I think the transition straight into Premier League football is pretty hard.

                              We'll see how he gets on. Possibility he will be loaned out?
