We’ve already got one misfiring dud as a CF. We don’t need another.
Not sure who I’d chose between him and Hojlund as they are equally as shite.
 
Chelsea put 100mil price tag for him, no? Are we rich suddenly?

I think DCL is what we will sign on a 1-2 year contract.
 
Let's just stop playing football at this point, it's beyond embarrassing if the club continues transfer business like this.

He's a poor player, no doubt about it.


This would be a typical Utd move. Allow them to sign a better player in Pedro, then sign the player they want to replace for more money.
 
He’s actually a good player outside the actual finishing. He gets in very good positions and often makes great runs that put him through on goal. His finishing is just atrocious. Not sure he’ll ever get that to the level it needs to be but if he even got 50% better, he’d be a 20+ goals a season striker
 
No thanks. Just go for Ekitike or Sesko rather than bailing out Chelsea.

He is better than Hojlund and Zirkzee, I will give him that but that’s not saying much.
 
So strange we didnt just go for Joao Pedro ourselves. Way better and more versatile.

Gotta doubt our scouts a bit here.
 
I can’t take any notice of other transfer stories unless it’s for free agents. Even then the high salary demands cross United off the list of possible destinations.

It's ridiculous to say he is a poor players, average maybe. Personally think he is decent but not worth what Chelsea want
 
He’s obviously an inconsistent finisher, but beyond that I think he’s a pretty good player. Fantastic movement, great link up play, works his arse off. 19 goal involvements in 37 games. Still quite young and shown he can deal with the pace and physicality of the league.

Him, Cunha and Mbeumo and you have a really tenacious and mobile front line who are all technically very very good.

Jackson - 19 g/a in 37 games
Mbeumo - 29 g/a (subtract 5 penalties son24) in 42 games
Cunha - 23 g/a in 36 games
 
Chelsea are the absolute experts in selling their duds to Premier League rivals for top dollar.

Havertz, Jorginho, Mount, Madueke… the list goes on.
 
Don’t mind him for 40m or less. But the issue is Afcon. If we get Mbeumo, we’d be having quite a number of key players out

I’d take Watkins 31 g/a last season over Jackson & I believe the link is stronger with him than it is with Jackson

Spoiler alert, he won't and there's nothing to suggest he will.

He's 24, I'd rather stick with Hojlund over him, the club is just continuing with terrible recruitment like Mason Mount, if we're even considering them we should just pack it up.

They aren’t exactly duds. Mount was just short sighted and a stupid deal to begin with after his long injury layoff. The other guys all contributed a lot and Madueke is young enough and has potential.
 
Nicolas Jackson as signed by Chelsea from Villareal is the sort of buy I'd be delighted with.

Reasonable fee at €37m, went on to provide 17-ish goal contributions per season in the league, and at 22 years old was someone they bought knowing they could likely sell him on for a decent fee down the line if/when they thought they could do better. In a summer in which other PL clubs were spending €77m on Hojlund, getting Jackson for around half that was good business.

Nicolas Jackson as bought from Chelsea, no. Because you're buying the same ultimately-not-good-enough-player, except likely at a marked-up price because you weren't able to identify him (or someone like him) a stage earlier in their careers when the deal actually represented good value.
 
I find it exceedingly strange that people are so willing to entirely write off a striker who has gotten into double figures both seasons he's been in the Premier League. Especially so that some are confident that he's no better than what we currently have, given that he outscored Hojlund and Zirkzee combined last season.

I think it's eminently sensible for us to be keeping tabs on him.

That's because their 'duds' aren't really duds. They are also on decent salaries.
 
Far better than what we've got. Doubt we can afford him though.

Actually, Hojlund is not misfiring. He just barely fire. At all. Ever. That is his problem.

Jackson on the other hand is. But that can change. If we manage to get a striker at 24, who has done quite well for at top five team in the PL, it would exceed my expectations.
 
I’d take him on a season long loan. Anything other than that would be a rubbish deal.

Yep, and did that in La Liga before coming to the PL too. His temper is a problem, but he's far better than Hojlund in everything.
 
It's quite baffling to see some turn their nose up at him, when our current options up front are utter dog shit
 
Not a bad player but he misses too many goals. Not an upgrade on Hojlund.
Gyökeres to Arsenal, Ekitike to Liverpool, Osimhen to Galatasaray... Only one top striker that remains in the market is Sesko (really top potential) and you should sign him.
 
We are stuck on mbeumo so suddenly there’s a splurge of stories linking us to Jackson, Martinez, that lad from Brighton, etc

It’s all BS to make fans think we’re active and to tell Brentford we will spend money elsewhere instead. I don’t believe it
 
I kind of rate him. He’s a nightmare to play against, and presses relentlessly. Needs to improve his finishing and discipline though.

The problem is that, as with Madueke, Chelsea will be looking to make a decent profit on him because of that productivity. Despite said productivity not being enough for Chelsea themselves to think he's worth continuing with.

So while I definitely think Jackson is good enough to improve us, I don't think he's good enough to justify handing a notional top four rival a healthy profit on a player they want to upgrade.

Ultimately if you can't identify and sign a Jackson-level player for less than Chelsea will want (as Chelsea themselves did) then that's a recruitment issue.
