The College Dropout Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 16 minutes ago, TRon said: Why didn't he sell him earlier then? He's obviously still a top striker, he's only being let go now because Haaland is world class. Because he's a useful squad player. I think he's a good player and the fee seems decent too.. But if he scored 12 goals next season - I wouldn't be shocked. 12 (lower end) - 17 (upper end) is my expectation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon arsenal would be happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d be well chuffed. Saka was their top scorer last season with 11. Even Leicester had two players who scored more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 If Gabriel Jesus scores 12 from open play next season he'll have been a success. If he's allowed to take over penalty duties and scores 17 I think Arsenal must be very happy. Will be interesting. Clearly very very talented, but completely stagnated after his first 18 months at Manchester City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Obviously hope he’s shit since Arsenal are the club in the ‘big 6’ who clubs aiming to break into that group will be looking at to overtake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 DCL has scored more than 12 league goals from open play in 2 out of the last 3 seasons for a midtable side. Many here would scoff at paying £45m for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to compare the 2 really as they are different types of strikers, Wilson is more effective in our side than DCL would be given our set up and some of the players we have.. ASM wouldnt be putting many crosses on DCLs head. Wood is much more comparable to DCL than Wilson and is the reason I dont think we will look at buying him seriously (along with the fee Everton would want).

For the wages he’s supposedly on too? It’s not just about Jesus, it’s about opportunity cost. If Arsenal could have spent that money better elsewhere (fee and wages) - and I hope that’s the case - then it might not matter. If they spend all this money and then don’t get into the CL then I really don’t know where they go from here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 He’s 27 but only has 1 year left on his contract, England international, has been a great player for Man City. What do we think the fee will be? Given he has 1 year left I reckon it’ll be around the £50m mark, what do people think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Interesting, will be somewhere between 50-60 you’d imagine and that would be decent business from both sides I guess. I don’t think he’ll have a stellar career for Chelsea though, but I like the lad and hope he continues to do well for England Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still recall Sterling being subbed as he was getting nothing out of him and stopped trying to get past in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
