Isak and Jackson would be good, yeah.

He’s not coming to us man lads 😂 literally every media outlet has him going to Man Utd. It’s over.

definitely doesn’t like

He’ll be over £100m all day

Baller?

Already been shut down.

let’s see what the likes of Hope & Downie say. Graeme Bailey is mainly a waste of time.

Openda has been linked before. Can’t remember the figures quoted, but it won’t be anywhere near £80m so for that reason alone, I’m in.

Data guy from the athletic; Premier League rivals will likely need to pay a premium for Jackson’s services. While he is not yet a polished, clinical finisher at the highest level of the game, he makes things happen more relentlessly than many other players in world football. For a team willing to show patience in Jackson, the potential reward is clear.

We’re trying to replace 23 goals from last season. Would Jackson and wissa do that? I think they would, yeah. £80m is madness though.

I’ll say it again, £80m is micey and we want shooting with shit if we pay anywhere near that. But, a lot of analysts rate him very highly and there’s some really decent reads about him in the athletic.

Yep.

Chelsea forums don’t make good reading tbf. a lot of them question his attitude and toxic affect on the dressing room.

it’s the £80m that’s the issue imo.

This is a decent read; https://archive.ph/cZYJk

The PSR debate about Watkins is absolutely futile at this stage. The fact is he’d give us the best chance of finishing in the top 5 again next season. We’ve also apparently got plenty of PSR headroom this summer and can achieve precisely fuck all. We’d get two years out of him and in that time who knows what happens with APT cases etc. He’s a round peg in a round hole. Just do it.

there is, but not as much of a guarantee as him. Just go and get him (if Isak is away)

There’s a great article on him in the athletic about his work rate and ability to press. £80m is the issue here. It’s mental money that.

It should be Ollie Watkins replacing Isak at this stage. 100%.

The good thing about Jackson would be a future Saudi move. He’d be ripe of that if it didn’t pan out.

I agree but I’m not sure if Isak was first choice, burn, nor Elanga. Sometimes it pans out that way. 8th is a different kettle of fish, mind, I agree there. if we pay £80m for Jackson we’ve officially lost it.

I’m all for Jackson, if Howe thinks he’s the one, fair enough. I firmly back him to get a tune out of anyone. But 80 million fucking quid? we want shooting with shit.

my thoughts exactly. pause everything and put that shitshow to bed and go from there.

I’ve only seen him twice I think, so I’ve absolutely no idea. I’d wager he’d play his best football under Howe though.

aye, because that’s worse than hoping someone gets chinned on the way home because of the way he makes a living? they’re both jokes man, have a day off.
