Different players suit different teams. He’s a good player and good signing for them, there is really no denying that.

If we played a fluid quick passing 4-2-3-1 I probably would consider him vs Kane, but as an all round striker and playmaker in a 3-4-3 Kane is better. Comparing him to Son/Kulu in our 3-4-3 fairly pointless as he’s not the same kind of player really. I do find it funny with the Arsenal bias how some of our fans just completely write off and rubbish certain players etc, Jesus is a top top player who just needed regular games and an arm round the shoulder, he’s a massive confidence player that is very obvious.
I find it funny how some fans start creaming over a player after scoring a few goals in a few games against poor opposition but hey ho.
Its far too early in the season to be drawing conclusions about how good Arsenal are as a team or certain players given the opposition they've played.
Edit, By the same token Liverpool and Man U are relegation fodder. I dont think so do you?

Not sure if you're implying i have rubbished him as a player....I certainly haven't.

I'm just not being really impulsive with any kind of analysis three games in.

Yes he looks a good signing for them but until he's putting up the numbers Kane, and even Son have, its a non starter in terms of absolute effectiveness and comparisons.

Very good start Let's see come the end of the season how he's performed as opposed to everytime he scores trying to debate this and the I told you so's....

It's really early days to make any definitive judgement, but from first impressions he seems a very good fit for Arsenal. Being able to play through the middle has let him off the leash compared to his rotated starts on the wings for City.

No mate just when you said about perspective as if he’s no where near as good as our front 3, I was just making a comment that different players suit different teams and formations etc. no debate or I told you so etc, I’ve just always rated him and having played and coached to a paid level myself I tend to feel empathy for players who are let of the leash so to speak and are given a chance and arm round the shoulder as many (not you) were rubbishing Jesus for his time at City which I always felt was unfair given he was never properly given a run in the team or confidence that he is the main man.

I’ve also studied sports psychology so I find it interesting how some players form can drastically improve when they’re in an environment they feel comfortable with and supported.

I also appreciate it’s early days and Arsenal have had a fairly easy run of games so that also needs to be taken into consideration, but that probably won’t change my personal opinion that I think he’s a decent player and is showing that now he’s being made the main man.

No debate or argument matey just giving my opinion ?

All fair mate. No doubt he's a good player.

Just think it's easy to get carried away looking at others whilst being a bit blinded to the exceptional forward players we have.

Personally think Kane will explode this season.
