They're both very different types of players tbf. Richarlison started over Jesus for Brazil but that's because he was a better fit. His main strength is in the box which is Jesus main weakness.

That being said I think you're downplaying his link up play, it's more than just decent it's very good. His all round game is amazing which makes up for his poor goalscoring record. Conte wanted him here IIRC, and for a good reason.

According to transfermarkt valuations:
  • Erling Haaland €200M
  • Alexander Isak €75M
  • Kai Havertz €75M
  • Darwin Núñez €65M
  • Ollie Watkins €65M
  • Rasmus Højlund €65M
  • Gabriel Jesus €55M
  • Diogo Jota €50M
  • João Pedro €50M
  • Joshua Zirkzee €50M
  • Dominic Solanke €45M
The ones not in bold don't really play as a classic "9" even though transfermarkt has them down as strikers.

In terms of who would work well in Ange's system, the only two I'd consider swapping for Solanke would be the first two.

Some of that is quite humorous, the United pair in particular

Never really watched him but he seemed to get a good reputation somehow or at least a rep of an up and coming player. Hasn’t looked good since his move.

He's too nice to be a Prem target man, but too big and slow to be anything but a target man. Good ball skills but I can't see him in a modern pressing team, not in the Prem. Just my opinion so far- I may turn out to be wrong.
 
Gyokeres could be the next Luka Jovic, who was also hyped to fuck after one great season and then did not much. He has about 20 chances a game in Portugal so will always score plenty of goals for his club. Watch him for Sweden when they're playing anyone decent for his true level. I mean he's good and can be effective, but the hype is far too much for someone who has only scored goals in the Portuguese league and the Championship, and is also 26.

100% what I've seen. He's Uniteds next big error.
 
There's no guarantees that Utd will sign Gyokeres anyway, they, they've invested over £100m on strikers in the last two Summers, managers job would be to get the best out of them I would have thought.
