I like how Eddie's kid nephew has become a convenient proxy for people who can't bring themselves to criticize the man himself to take out their frustration on.

 

For all we know he's nothing more than a junior scout.

A junior scout?

He is the assistant head of first team recruitment, he has a very senior position.

We only need one striker in the door to start with then we can relax a tad whilst bringing in another of higher quality, Then flog isak.

 Jackson is the higher quality.

If Osula isn't at the stage where we can rely on him to start 3-4 games after 18 months at the club, I'd begin to question what the point of him is.

I would agree except two of the games are Chelsea and Man Utd. Potentially rivals for league places (maybe not, who knows)

It’s the elephant in the room quite amusing.

You haven't the slightest idea what that job title means and neither do I.

 

It's just lashing out at someone who seems like a convenient scapegoat. Frankly if he's actually been elevated to a title that's beyond his capabilities because of nepotism (I'm not saying this is true), then that's 100% on his uncle as well.

If our scouting team can’t find alternative(s) to Jackson at £80m, they all need sacked. 

[DevonGeordie]

£35 million is about right, Howe could probably coach some of the mentalness out of him and he’d potentially have some sell-on value.

 

Eighty fucking million. Unbelievable.

 

Might as well burn it.

Including Eddie ?

[Famous Nick]

Jackson is a serious downgrade from Isak. Howe must see this too.

 

kind of how Tottenham went from Kane to Solanke.

 

the price Chelsea would want is basically we pay Pedro/Delap combined fee for Jackson. WTF.

We could build a space elevator with the Isak money if Jackson is worth 80.

 

Could that feasibly leave the atmosphere?

[johnny36]

If we were going for a striker from Premier League I would go for Evanilson..May as well spend 60 million on him than Jackson. Brazil international now too so  would know Bruno/Joelinton

Wissa and Jackson fit our system with there non stop running and pace, wissa is the better finisher but jacko could be developed in a year with us.

Isak is a class striker but he was barely involved in the majority of our games these two could make us more competitive.

I agree but not for £80m. Even at £60m I feel a bit queasy like. 

[andycap]

Saying involved meaning he used to get marked out the game a fair bit and couldn't get us back in the game. 

[Ketsbaia]

Not for a second am I contemplating Jackson as a credible rumour, like.

 

No chance.

[gdm]

Jackson has become the secret joke amongst online fanbases. Everyone laughing amongst themselves at which club is gonna be the one that is left to pick him up. Of course it’s us

[midds]

And before anyone comes out with the old "oh, there's still time, window doesn't close for another x days" then I'd say time without the ability to actually do anything is useless. There could be a fucking decade left but if the people in charge of getting shit done are completely unable to get shit done then the deadline is irrelevant. Time to sort shit out counts for nothing if the ability to sort shit out is missing. 

 

This is exactly where we are

Surely Eddie Howe isn’t the one scouting players and presenting lists of targets to take forward?

 

He might contribute to a final decision on who to prioritise, but not actually coming up with them.

We don't have many options left I'd say ramos or jacko would be our quality player. 

[Elric]

Surely there are some shit-hot up and coming South Americans to spunk this kind of cash on? Considerably cheaper, probably. Do we even have a fucking scouting team?

If he's the one making the final decision then he takes both the credit and the blame for the acts of his subordinates. That's the whole point of having a leader.

[Moose]

I forgot to ask, is Jacobs reliable? Is he the one whose usually on the money with the London teams but clueless about anything else?

 

And yes, I know he's a gimp before you say it, but that wasn't my question.

[gdm]

Can I just add I don’t give a fuck what price Jackson is he could be £80m & he could be £5m he’s a serious fuckin downgrade on Isak. Tho It will be nearer £80m than £5m.

I’m genuinely glad you’re not the decision maker
