Better than Salah and KDB for us. Young. Doesn’t get his head down. He’s good with me. 

After spending a staggering 1 billion pounds in the last transfer window? what do we get?
Our striker's young and does not get his head down... 😅 I'm sure we can get these qualities in a number of championship players at a fraction of the cost.

Joking aside, I understand the point. The assumption that bets are a sure thing is what I disagree with. Salah's and KDB time with us is irrelevant given that they did turn out to be WC players. (Salah did look WC to me back then and I have a post to prove it). Lukaku looked like a world beater at 18-19 and now looks like a decent/good league player.

One thing that I'm absolutely 100% sure of is that not all players we signed in the last transfer window, despite their elevated price tags, will turn out to be good enough.

Jackson is a bit like a Salomon Kalou re-gen. Good pace, height and all round skillset. a bit lanky and off balance sometimes. Can look brilliant in one and then brutally frustrating the next moment. Not that crazy unpredictability about Kalou but way well end up as the same useful servant and squad player.

Statistically the same/better as Osimhen at similar ages - while doing it in tougher leagues.

The fact is getting used to this huge transition we've been in and will be in. Whilst I loved his shit house behaviour at the start, his effort etc as it is goes on the more dislikeable he actually has become, for me, especially the whole ridiculous onlyfans fiasco, which I cannot fathom. I'm not encouraging the behaviour but it's no secret it all goes on and that's conveniently what NDAs are for. Down in my books all round at the moment, watching him fluff simple chances is just tiresome and the look on Raheem's face a few times last night tells you everything.

He is just not the main striker. I think he is good to have as depth striker but we still need a number one. 

As most people said I would put his level of impact of that of Kalou.

When does he leave for the African cup of nations? Matches start second week of January right?

But Broja is also painful to watch. 

I rather see Nkunku as striker with Palmer and Mudryk around. 

Or even Washington. 

Jackson is horrendous. 

There was a talk of Poch punishing him to run laps because of stupid yellows and what does he do? Get a yellow for protesting over Sterling dive 😂

Just seen a comment about him looking more like someone who has won a competition to play with us more then being a actual player 🤣

I think its true you had to send in 3 Cheese and Onion empty crisp packets to Clownlake and you won 175k a week for 8 years

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

That was a new low. I have always been more of a fan of his overall Game than his poor finishing but his touch and ball control today was so horrendous. Worse than Lukaku. Not that broja was any better but both are championship level at best. At least he was not mad expensive so  can ship him out in summer and start the gamble anew 

[Mário César 1,257]

why we loaned lukaku and buy this guy?

jesus christ

Jackson is obviously world class, this is what @YorkshireBlue was telling me months ago.

You were laughing at me for saying I have doubts about him and why only Bournemouth was in for him, you didn't say it but we're mocking me among others for saying he is very raw, all this because of a couple pre season games he played good.

Exactly, I didn't say, it makes you entire point invalid

Nice way of pretending you didn't imply that.

So, player was outhright bad, then went onto a very good yet short spell in less competitive circumstances. Statistically, this gamble had flop written all over, would be a miracle if he went to continue to rock the world like five levels higher up. If stars align, such players have potential to develop into decent players, given a lot of time and work (hardly possible luxuries on not-so-long-ago Chelsea level).

It would be all fine and very common occurrence, if only hadn't we relied on such player as freaking first choice striker. This club became a joke, can't blame the guy.

[robsblubot 3,595]

This is the absolute worst I've seen from him, against Wolves. There is no excuse for the amount of times he simply misscontrolled the football.

I hope this was a one-off, because otherwise he simply isn't anywhere near good enough.
