Getting rid is a pretty wild shout like but this is a full Brazilian international player we are talking about here, a lad with a supposed massive price tag and he's currently being out scored by the likes of David McGoldrick and Che Adams.
He has to step it up massively even from the selfish point of view of wanting a big money move. No doubt he has struggled in our overly defensive set up but I'm not sure seeing his arse every time something doesn't go his way is going to help. Still has a superb work rate but he looks a long way from a potentially top player.
He’s not a full Brazil international in a particularly strong era for them. They don’t possess a wealth of attacking talent right now. From Ronaldo as their starting number 9, to Jesus, it’s quite a drop. It’s a bleedin enormous drop. Elber, Jardel (at Porto), Edmundo, these fellas couldn’t get a look in for Brazil in the era of Ronaldo and Romario. Now they’d walk into the team.
Starting for Brazil when they had great talent is akin to being heavyweight champion in an era of Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis and Bowe. It was a statement of your credentials. Starting for Brazil when Jesus is you main striker is akin to Anthony Joshua holding all the heavyweight belts, a man whom Ray Mercer (never got to hold a belt in that quality era) would clobber.
