Gabriel Jesus (9)

He’s not DCL or Toney but he’s really good in the air nevertheless. Kane pretty much has it all except pace.

Aguero - of his 184 goals, only 19 were headed goals. Henry, even less, with only 7 goals being headers of his 186.
While aerial ability is a vital ability, just like any other ability, the lack of it can be well compensated with better all-round gameplay, which Jesus posseses imo.

Can’t really complain if your contemplating signing players from them and hiring a manager who was part of the set up.
No real reason to believe why anyone club would use it and others wouldn’t really.

It’s pretty much a guarantee that doping is rife at all levels of sport. That goes for football too without a doubt.

But there’s no way Pep’s team are doing it and everyone else isn’t too lol

I agree. But it’s a bit like Lance Armstrong, he had the people who were the best at it because he had the most money. Same for City I reckon.

Considering how awash with money the PL is now they probably all have the same providers if it really is prevalent in the game.

I think Jesus is a decent striker but I get the feeling that if he and Eddie are our only options upfront we’ll likely have trouble scoring goals.

We didn’t do much with Auba and Laca who as a pair are better options than Jesus and Eddie.

Yes, 3-4 years ago…

Their last year or so, not so much.

Auba hasn’t been bad last 4 months.

Yes, he’s been poor for his last 18 months at Arsenal.

Yeah it’ll be interesting to see if any striker is ever prolific under Arteta at Arsenal.

Well, in those 18 months Laca who’s considered shit was more prolific. :man_shrugging:
And then Eddie outscored them both in just 8 starts, without a single pen too…

Remains to be seen if any striker can flourish in an Arteta system and hit 20 league goals is more or less what I meant.

We simply don’t know at this point, obviously you need a player of quality but we also don’t know if Arteta’s methods will allow it at this point.
