Pizy 19,250 Posted June 18, 2024 Share Posted June 18, 2024 Chelsea Football Club out here trying to spend big money on strikers that aren’t even key players at small clubs, man. WTF is going on… How the hell was this last season not all the evidence that our ownership needed to see that having a super inexperienced young team is going to be WILDLY up and down? Instead they’re doubling or even tripling down on teenagers! It’s as if they’re planning for 5 years from now instead of the next season! Do they not realize how damaging it would be for us both on and off the pitch if we have another poor season and don’t get UCL football back?

Yes, I expect him to improve but do I think he’ll become a lethal goal scorer at the Haaland/Kane/Salah/Mané level at any point? Hell no! Jackson is the perfect #2 striker for a club of our stature.

Guirassy wants to stay in Germany, 90% at BVB, Dovbyk is just another gamble, didnt like him at all yesterday, Zirkzee just another young very inconsistent striker and Openda? Not really a number 9, too short. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap release clause, late 20’s so experienced but not “old,” can slot right into the team and allows Nico Jackson to still get plenty of minutes. But if we’re after a young striker then why not go absolutely all out on Alvarez? I’d rather spend £70m on him than £40m on Duran or this kid we’re now linked with.

I’d rather spend £70m on him that £40m on Duran or this kid we’re now linked with. Agreed, but Im not so sure if he even wants to go. After some initial reports it has gone very quiet. Could have been some agent pr. On the other hand: do we want to spend big big money on someone who hasnt scored more than 11 goals per season in his career? Jackson outperformed him last season, and even tho Alvaraez didnt play as a number 9 all the time, even when he did, he wasnt better than Jackson.

MoroccanBlue 5,399 Posted June 18, 2024 Share Posted June 18, 2024 (edited) Has Jackson shown enough to be a match winner? He scored a few goals but none that were game winners. We can obviously point to the League cup final and FA Cup semi final and say these are the consequences of relying on him far too heavily. We are putting an awful lot of faith in him going into next season unless we are going to completely rely on Nkunku and Palmer?

Not the main guy. I would go as far as to say that Jackson isn't a CF at all. He'd be more successful out wide, where his conversion rate would be less of a concern if a consistent goalscorer led the line instead.

If we had prime Giroud still at the club I think Nico would be brilliant playing with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,139 Posted June 18, 2024 Share Posted June 18, 2024 So much disrespect on NJ as if top strikers always bang in their first season in PL Don't understand it myself. I've been humbled so many times by players that looked like they had something but weren't quite delivering, that I wrote off, that then turned out to be world class. Even Suarez had a frustrating start at Liverpool, being wasteful in front of goal, and people had basically written him off when he established himself as one of the most dangerous players in the world.
