You are absolutely right but it feels like he is now rejecting the move to make a point. I know it stings but at least he did not throw a fit here like Lukaku did. So if he really stays here we should probably try to use him at least as a last resort backup didi007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegetable 830 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Yeah, Jackson done well in Spanish League, but for a very short period of time. We've seen such bursts by our "shit players" as well. I'm very curious of this guy and hope he will do well, but I'm afraid he may be upgraded version of Tammy more than reincarnation of Drogba. Hope to be wrong though.

Might work out that way, might not. Too early to tell, the lad's only 20 years old after all. But yeah, all these young players being signed with no immediate role in the first team feels a lot like the early 2010s where the club had a very similar tactic, ending up with the infamous loan army. There was a lot of dross and some gems too, but in the end the club fucked it all up by not giving a chance even to those who were clear as day good enough. I don't mind this kind of tactic, as long as it's not to the hindrance of more immediate first team concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,097 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Yes, definitely a good thing for him not to show up. I wonder if he pushes it far enough if we can fire him and sue him for his transfer fee back, like we did with Mutu? That would give me an intense pleasure, but I guess would be impossible for some reason. It is exactly what he deserves after his behaviour.

Hope to be wrong though. Upgraded version of Tammy sounds awesome tho. Tammy has a ton of great attributes like pace, height, strength, powerful shot. But lacks body control clinical streak and first touch. If NJ is good at those he is pretty much a complete striker. He already has shown he has dribbling ability and eye for teammate over Tammy. I am usually rather critical of most of our signings but strangely have a good feeling about this one. Vegetable 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 The problem with the striker market is that it just looks so poor currently. I don't think there is anywhere near the same volume of top tier strikers as there was in the last generation 5-10 years ago. If there was someone who felt a 'surefire' thing, like Harry Kane for example, I'd say go for it. But with regards to realistic transfers, that just doesn't appear to be there. Kolo Muani looks a good player but I wouldn't be betting on him to take up the mantle of the club's main source of goals. Vlahovic has been poor since his move to Juventus, yet they're expecting to at least get their money back for him. The fees being quoted for these two and others is just obscene, and hugely high risk if they don't pay off. In my opinion, Nkunku is a more proven player and goal scorer than either of the above or anyone else realistic on the market. We need to set up in the right way to maximise his talents (in my opinion having him play alongside or just behind a striker), but he should be the marquee attacker this summer. If the club has a plan with regards to a striker signing and are confident in it then fine, but it'll be a hugely backwards step spending huge money on a striker this summer if the right one isn't available.
