NikkiCFC 8,516 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 It's not Potter anymore it's Poch but clearly our owners continue with major plan which is long term success. Doesn't look like we are planing to be competitive in the next 2 seasons. Jackson, Broja, Fofana... No one is ready there and we don't have a striker. All other targets also young fellas. I'm just concerned how will our fans react when they see us struggling again. After all, because of fans we sacked Potter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to know why. From what I've read he did fuck all all season them scored 8 in 10 at the end...How's that what we're looking at? Don't trust this new recruitment team at all tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 19,280 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 We just have to hope that for a striker target to come out of nowhere like Jackson it has been pushed by Poch. If this is a club signing to continue this massive youth drive we’re on then I’ll be worried. If Poch himself asked for him because he sees something special than I guess I trust his eye.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 There's no way in hell this boy Jackson who 99 % of us haven't heard of until today is going to be our number 9. Educated guess that broja is going to be made a make weight in caciedo and fofana is off on loan. This guy is a back up at best surely Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is a back up at best surely From what I'm seeing based on our recruitment, this team is big on "advanced stats". As someone previously posted, Jackson's advanced stats are through the roof and if it is a target Poch is after, it is a good fit by their metric. I'm okay with it.

It’s full of Africans….Wes Fofana is Ivorian, and where do you think Kante, Pogba, Mbappe, Dembele and Makele, Desailly …. jeez the list goes on and on are originally from???? all but Makélélé and Desailly were born and raised in France and those last two basically are French as well, as they were raised in France, as both moved to France when they were each only 4 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,280 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Think Boehly has a good relationship with the Saudi’s. Saw a pic making the rounds on Twitter the other day of him meeting with them. Maybe he can set up some sort legal money laundering scheme where a bunch of Saudi clubs can pay decent fees for our deadwood. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many players have we, and other big clubs bought just 6-12 months after they come in, become a massive revelation and the next big thing? Very rare we, or other big clubs get it right early. I mean, at times we did, with KDB, and others, and we let them walk... It just isn't sound logic, or the right way to look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least he will champion every year in farmers league. They got the best Centre Back in the world right now. You will see guys he will be so dominant. I wish we bought him as Silva replacment. We missed big chance. Btw hes release clause is 35mln if i remember. Thats crazy deal for such a beast. Kim Min-jae is not the best CB on the planet I would take every one of following over him Rúben Dias Ronald Araújo Josko Gvardiol Marquinhos Milan Skriniar Matthijs de Ligt Alessandro Bastoni Éder Militão (he improved a lot the last 2 years, I no longer consider him a major issue for RM) António Silva (next great Portuguese CB IMHO) William Saliba Sven Botman Jurrien Timber (he grew to 6 feet tall and has speed to burn, today is his birthday, turned 22) If VVD and Alaba were 3 years or so years younger then them as well Giorgio Scalvini, 19yo, 1.94m is perhaps the next great Italian CB Edited June 16, 2023 by Vesper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 10,237 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) The more I watch of Nicolas Jackson the more I like what I see. He looks a really skillfull player with very good 1 touch and two touch link up play. Looks composed on the ball when in finishing situations. Strong and fairly fast too. Hmm, this could turn out go be a bargain at just £29m. Edited June 16, 2023 by DDA Strike and Costa19 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
