Regarding Jesus, if we're talking hypertheticals, if it can be done, I'd sell Jesus in Jan and get Semenyo. Outside of that scenario, I'd keep him until the summer and sell regardless of how he performs.
Jamie who?? š¤You wonder if @SkySports keep him on not for his punditry, but because his outspoken, divisive style stirs controversy! š¤ Have a good weekend everyone!
Hi Charles, how would you convince Jesus, if he wants to leave to play more minutes to be part of the Brazil squad for WC as much as I would like him to stay?
Josh
Arsenal is not bankrupt, keep Jesus, we need Jesus anywhere in the dressing room, remember he is a Brazil international.
Jesus is none significant till he proves he can stay fit for at least 2 full months. And nobody will sign him anyway stop dreaming.
Hi Chastles, great work you're doing. Quick one, Jesus or Sanchez at their prime at arsenal, which would you rather have?

Hey Charles, keep up the good work š
Keeping GJ will be a valuable asset. He can contribute to our success this season.
Cheers!!
Jesus had faith in this project before anyone else didā¦ letās have some faith in Jesusā¦
And if heās prepared to be a squad player and taking a pay cut, letās try to keep him for longer, thereās no other player like him in the squad and who will we get to replace him?! How much would that cost?
At 15 my school had a cup semi final, I was told I couldnāt play as I didnāt do my maths homework a hour long, so I got detention till I finished, I jumped into the sports coach and between the other 10 players we/I finished it in 6mins.
So I made the game!
We lost 4-2
And I got a D for the home work!
Hi š Charles, I hope š¤ all is good š. I watched the Crystal Palace match and they had a bad day and lost the match because of that Arsenal need to put Crystal Palace to the sword š”ļø and beat them. As far as Gabriel Jesus is concerned we have to wait and see how he performs when fit. I personally like Jesus and I hope š¤ he comes all guns šŖ blazing. I am happy about Max Downman staying at Arsenal because he is a brilliant footballer. COYG to thrash Crystal Palace God willing šš½. Have a good š weekend Charles š. Arsenal rocks šŖØ.
The squad depth is at the point where Gabriel Jesus is essentially filling the Reiss Nelson roleā¦absolutely bonkers to think about and canāt wait to see how he contributes this season!!!
3:47 if max canāt sign a contract for another 18 months, are his appearances for the first team up until then unpaid? curious how it all works! cheers Charles.
When players are injured long-term, people tend to either build them up into being the answer to all the team's problems when they return, or else they forget just how good they really are.
Jesus firmly falls into that second category for me. I can understand people suggesting we sell him for financial/fitness reasons, but a fit Jesus would be a huge asset to this squad.
@Charles For the Jamie O]Hara reference – 100 hail Mary's and 5 acts of contrition should save your soul š¤£
Iām totally with you Charles. Selling Jesus in winter is no different from not buying a no. 9 last season during winter.
Selling Jesus would be the dumbest thing ever before the end of the season. Canāt believe how many idiots we have in the fan base
Max Dowman is such a bright talent. His glare hides the talent of some really talented youngsters who should be given opportunities. Bailey Joseph, Ibrahim, Marciniak and Salmon amingst others.
Keep Jesus for the rest of the season/ he is such a great player who always gives you something different.
Hi Charls , just wanted to say the door looks great š.
Also this Arsenal side are looking very good.
Can you give me some news on my favourite signing of the summer Mr Noni Madwaka , looking forward to seeing him back.
Hey Charles, why is every team suddenly a bogey team. Newcastle, West Ham and now palace. I can understand the first two but palace havenāt beaten us since april 2022 and we put 8 goals past them in two games last season. I donāt care how good a run theyāre on, we are on a better one so I expect to win and donāt know where the fear is coming from
Do you think weāre the best team ever to have not won anything, everyone fears us, bookies back us but we have nothing to show for it yet
Yet another seeeping statement with no evidenceā¦
Every team in Europe wants max dowmanā¦
A great young prospect, but has any side made an offer for him?
Who on earth would buy Jesus?
He is on Ā£250k a weekā¦
He will go on a free transfer.
Hey Charles,
Greetings from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Love your show.
I totally agree we should keep Jesus, but Iām surprised no oneās mentioned that he might want to leave. Itās a World Cup year, and he will want to be match fit to make Brazilās squad. I donāt think heāll get enough minutes at Arsenal to do that.
The atlitico number 9 been linked to arsenal, how true is that ?
I think it is important to get 3 points from this game against Palace. I heard in the news that Gabriel is not inform or he is injured and hopefully Arteta plays Mosquera or Hincapie to avoid long term injury to Gabriel because he is important player and we need him fit for all important games. I would like to see MLS as number 8 as he can drive forward and make dangerious pass and run as he did to Martinelli which means either Rice/Zubi plays as 6 and one of them will get rest. It has been a lot of games for both Zubi and Rice including with their country on international games and still many games are coming so Arteta need to start resting and rotating some of the key players.
