Bear, He suffers from the Gerrard syndrome, He was far too concerned about the biggest myth in arguably the most cut throat business in the world, Loyalty. There is no loyalty in football, I can guarantee you if he continues playing like this, Leicester will be looking for a striker to replace him in the summer, So much for your loyalty. Same was with Gerrard, His lack of courage to face the consequences of a move to a rival club in order to better himself bit him in the back side, How? He failed to win the PL in his career where he would have won one at Chelsea and even his loyalty wasn't truly rewarded as he was cast aside by Liverpool for LA Galaxy. If you're in the business of winning things, Do not let a fictitious myth get in the way of your decision, Now if staying rather than going means you have a higher % of winning stuff, Then that's fine but if you're going to ignore good, firm offers just for the sake of maintaining a positive image then you get what you deserve for not having the courage.

Yep, Ashley cole had the cohanas that Gerrard lacked and was richly rewarded...

who thinks that gabriel jesus will be the next big thing or a failure? looks tidy for his age though, and under pep could turn out to be neymar 2.0

I reckon Boro is in deep trouble too, because that team doesn't have enough goals to win games. They are reasonably solid, but grinding out draws on good days aren't going to get them out of the relegation zone. Swansea vs Leicester will be a huge game for survival, I think Leicester will go down if they lose that game. Would be f* hilarious if Hull manages to get something against Arsenal, I think they are in with a good chance.

Leicster are so poor now, it's crazy how different they are to last season. They look every bit a side ready to go down 

 

Kiss of death I hope...

It makes it even more hilarious how Arsenal failed to capitalise on Ourselves,man utd,liverpool and man city all being totally out of form and dropping out of the usual top 4 

And never forget spurs coming 3rd in a 2 horse race

I just can't understand how he's done so well.  I mean, I thought it took 1-2 years to get used to the prem.

He looks an absolute jet

Jesus could go either way.

Remember when Robinho came to England and he was amazing for the first few games then seemed to stagnate then disappear into the background.

I hope that happens because if not the boy looks an absolute great buy for City.

It's been a good start no more no less...the media hype machine won't see it that way though

Pinched from The Guardian's comment section:

"Joel Matip missed out on winning AFCON with Cameroon so he could lose to Swansea, Southampton, Wolves & Hull with Liverpool."

Maybe I'm going a little bit crazy, but if he's going to play regularly and Pep will give him the chance to lead Man City, then in 2-3 years he will be better than Neymar. I think he's a very good talent that need a strong hand and experience.

Different cases though.

While Gabriel Jesus could fade away, Robinho was significantly older and was known for being a prima-donna, having left Real Madrid under a cloud. Gabriel Jesus apparently has a much better attitude than Robinho did and would certainly have a higher upside.

I don't know enough about Jesus, he was a relative unknown to most before he joined city.

SWP tore it up in his first few games - so much so that we paid shedloads for him.  Look how that turned out.  This lad might be the new <fill in name here> or he might be the new SWP.  Way too soon to be raving about him, but that's the way the great english press behave, and also so many football followers.

Leicester city seems to have off field problems judging from kasper's interview...  nothing personal but I do want to see them get relagated and win the CL in the same year.. The reigning champion get relegated in the year they win CL? That's surely something out of extraordinary..  damn, leicester could be such a gem for the betting man...

 

Oh on that city's  new toy gabriel, I don't think he'd be a success.. His mentality won't see him through, at best robinho level..

if Leicester go any further in the CL their fans would have to ask some serious questions

Build them up so you they can be torn down. Music and sports journalists/fans are so alike.

Only  time can tell but for City, they certainly found a solution to their problem. At a time they needed the most.

The internet is always overreacting on everything. Jesus is just unchecked right now. Teams will figure him out soon. Remember when Manchester United thought they found gem in Martial, Blind, and Rashford? Now all those guys look ordinary,

I remember the reaction on here to Depays first couple games for united

think brazilians are a different breed. depay was a spotlight craver before utd (same as pogba) and kept being compared to cristiano ronaldo. brazilians seem to just enjoy playing fooball and don't think too much about impressing anyone or having an ego. think about any world class brazilian player in the past 10-15 years and they never craved spotlight or had a big ego.
