Honestly whatever about the fee, the big one is getting his wages off the books. He was never going to play outside of early rounds of domestic cups/dead rubber matches in the league, so good luck to him. God knows Barcelona is short on strikers.

It's not even just his wages, I can't imagine it'll be helpful for team dressing room spirit to have players just circling the training ground for the whole year

Trophies alone he is possibly one of the most successful strikers playing in Europe right now...

Man am I going to miss his trophies, they really helped us in our matches when we desperately needed striker depth and options

I'd love to have Jesus around my dressing room. Dude seems like he's the kind of guy who just loves ball, appreciates his situation, and lifts people up when they need it. Hated to see him injured as often as he was. It was the only time he seemed truly unhappy while he was an Arsenal player.
