At 40-50 million with one year left it’s a ripoff.

He’s worth 25-30 million tops.

We sold Ox for 40 mil some eight years back.

Also how are you suppose to close the gap on teams above if you buy vastly inferior players, which Jesus clearly is, his goal record for a City team that create a shedload of chances isn’t particularly good.

As for Kane and Haaland, City only go for the best, the point is since they lost Aguero they’ve been looking for a quality replacement, clearly Jesus isn’t that and never has been.

Plus we need someone better than 15-20 goals, think we need someone like Aubameyang who can score more than that.

We overpay for players like Pepe and White so buying City reject Gabriel Jesus us business as usual.

I like Haaland but i dont rate him on the same level as Mbappe. He has everything you need to be a world class striker like Kane but dosen't have the magic level technique like Mbappe has to svore from anywhere vs anyone. His team has to be playung well for him to dominate.

Norway would be in the World Cup and a force if he was really that good.

Haaland really is a more tidy younger version of Lukaku. The ball dosent bounce off him like Lukaku who has no technique, but it dont stuck to him like Mbappe or Lewandowski.

Haaland is better than Werner but be warned. Werner has flopped in the Premier League because unlike in Germany you dont get so much space to do what you want like you do in Germany.

I think if Haaland is humble and paitent he can be a succeds at City but he will find it hard at first if he adapts he can be a force.

Yes we do you’re right, just haven’t been impressed with Jesus.

No he’s not an Mbappe, he’s more of a goal poacher, but his goal record is fantastic at all level including the CL.

Don’t forget Salah came from Germany as well and he’s scored a lot of goals, some players make the transition and I think goalscoring wise he’s a special talent, the sheer amount of goals is testament to that.

It might take him a bit of time to adapt but I don’t doubt he’ll score plenty of goals for them, it’s hard not to.

Salah came from Germany...

Nunez would be a good option if more expensive.

I don't think we have a chance of signing Martinez at that price. Inter sold Lukkau for over £100m so they'd probably look for a similar amount for Martinez.

Good strikers at £50m or less won't be easy to find and especially the type we'll need. It's like looking for a unicorn.

I'd imagine he would be otherwise he wouldn't come here but if the deal was closer to 30m then I'd definitely take the gamble, he was amazing in Brazil and has shown the same at times for City when actually playing CF for a consistent run.

Not a game changing signing but a decent gamble at the right price.

I agree with this, if he’s second choice fine, but like you I suspect he’ll be first choice and he’s going to cost something around 50 million which is way too much, especially as he has a year left and City don’t want him.

30 million is Ok but the figures we’re hearing aren’t.

Rarely trusted to play up front and it's up front which is what we need most.

Not another can play anywhere Jack of all trades type

My mistake sorry I was thinking of De Bruyne.

But Aubameyang came from Germany and Dortmund and scored a lot, Son also came from the Bundesligue.

Only by the internet trolls.

Normal fans I come across in real life are happy with him.
