MagSA Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 I would go for Jackson now at a reasonable price. Chelsea want rid so they can fund their other purchases so they won't want a protracted transfer with deadline day looming large. Not that I think Jackson is an amazing talent, it's that there is no other credible PL proven options out there. with Wissa, Brentford can drag things out for as long they can and increase the price along the way. They have no incentive to sell other than us going large on the fee which I doubt we would or should be doing. Time is running out and I will be losing my shit if we end up with Gordon and Osula as CF options until January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes 27, so still has good years ahead. Didn’t they spend 60 million on him? He still is their main striker isn’t he? Just recovering from injury during pre season.

LFEE Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 1 hour ago, Lotus said: If we’re honest, Isak has a decent turn of pace but he’s not very fast. Not quicker than Gordon and Murphy. Doubt he’s quicker than Tino. That’s something to bear in mind when watching Woltemade who is also, not blisteringly quick. Very good feet and hold up play though. Better in tight spaces than Isak, but that’s playing in the Bundesliga. I’m not kidding when I watched his highlights and defending on YT and had to check my settings fearing I’d left them on half speed Everything looked so pedestrian.

I thought similar of Goncalo Ramos tbh. He can probably finish well, but he didn't look particularly electric from the highlights video from last season. Yeah i"m so desperate for us to find a striker I've started watching highlights of players who probably have no chance of coming here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've just been bad for so long now and last season was his only decent one in the last 6 years. I get he's only 25 so perhaps just now coming into his own but I still don't see how this would be decent replacement even for Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenlau88210 Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 See if we can agree a loan with option deal with Chelsea for Jackson. They want to get rid to raise funds and we quite desperately need a central forward so hopefully they see it as a win-win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 (edited) I think Jackson is still my top choice. Reckon he would open things up for us in ways that Isak doesn’t (while still being a less talented/“natural” striker overall).

Kimbo Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 (edited) If Jackson was on pens he could have scored 20+ in his first season with Chelsea, assuming he’s not shit at them. I think his lack of goal scoring ability gets exaggerated. His form fell off massively in the second half of last season as Chelsea’s play got slower and slower. Palmer has struggled as well having not scored from open play in 17 league games. But he’s had penalties to keep him ticking over.

Dr.Spaceman Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 Last time I checked a Chelsea forum they were proper slating Maresca and Palmer, weirdos. One has just led them to a 1.5 trillion pound windfall winning the CWC and the other is one of the best players in the league at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but Chelsea is the Epstein Island of football clubs and their fans are like ageing Di Caprio's, in that Palmer is a bit too old for them now at 23 and they want the new shiny young thing.

Yea, people get caught up in Palmer high light reels, he's been proper stodgy in Prem for a long time now, which probably isn't helped by Marescaball.

Armchair Pundit Posted August 18, 2025 Share Posted August 18, 2025 Would take Toney if we could pry him away from the Saudi league, he's mooching on the money though.

Plus they’d have to pay his salary, not a chance can we afford it. Edited August 18, 2025 by Shearergol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
