Because it's a terrible deal if you look at it that way. When we signed Laca for £45m, he was coming off a 37-goal season for Lyon. Just a couple of years ago, City also sold Leroy Sane for that amount, and he was a far better player.
Jesus is in a team that regularly scores 100 league goals, and he's their least impactful player by some distance.
That's why the club PR is going overboard with the 'hard worker' -- 'Brazil NT' -- 'ideal player for Arteta's no-nonsense style' angle.
How often has Jesus played up top though? its pretty rare tbh.
In total, he's played 211 games as CF at club level and country. He has 95 goals. It's not a bad record at all. We have far worse options in the team and not many options in the transfer market.
