Thanks for the update, you’re possibly the soundest Chelsea fan I’ve come across 

Most , like me, are football supporters first  who  just happen to support Chelsea. 

Life is too short to get too tribal as some seem to do. At the end of the day we all should be safe and enjoy football be it home or away.

 

In the day I had to go to meetings every so often at Longbenton and a very close work mate was a ST at St James Park. Met up with him when we stayed at Morpeth and my good lady and me went into town before the game. We lost! 
 

I genuinely try to stay respectful but sometimes even though I think I am not being controversial some take offence

 

Hey ho.

Love how Chelsea are leaking stuff to make it seem like Jackson wants out and they’re reluctantly selling, rather than Chelsea have no place for him and want him gone :D 

 

So shameless.

 

Not sure why Chelsea would be behind this.

 

This doesn't help them really. If clubs know he wants to leave then Chelsea will have far less power as the selling club when it comes to negotiating. All this does for Chelsea is alert clubs he's available for sale and they all knew that anyway.

They’ll want an important fee or an obese loan fee because he’s a player they really value and are desperate to hold onto. He’s the leader of the bomb squad and someone the club will do everything they can to hold on to, it would take an out of the market approach to part ways

I wouldn't. He's a 1 in 3 forward max. 

My worry is we’ll get absolutely sodomised by Porto trying to get Samu, with no guarantee he’ll score in the PL. Jackson at least knows the league and has already hit double figures.

If they want 50m give them 55m, let’s no go down the route of offering less 

Can see this happening, then being out-bid by Bayern Munich with 45m as Jackson only ever wanted them

Jacksons never getting to Isaks level whereas theres a chance Samu could. Id pay the extra and take a punt on him but only if we got Wissa aswell

Suspect they've realised that their preferred route out - Jackson to Man U, Garnacho to Chelsea - is off, and now they are desperately trying to flog him. Yesterday's media reporters screamed of Chelsea trying to stir up new bidders by saying us, Spurs and Bayern were interested - only for Bayern to immediately say they are not. I suspect the Samu news will have rattled them today as if we're not their buyer then they really have very limited options.

£85m on Jackson AND Wissa would be decent business

Get those 2 for 85m and sell Isak for 150m. And then spend the remaining budget on Paqueta/Gallagher and Leoni.

I should say we should absolutely pursue both Samu and Jackson at the same time. Samu ideally as the main target, but with Jackson there on the basis we have an option if Porto play hard ball and also if the deal price for Jackson falls to a level where it's a no brainer. There is a price point on Jackson (maybe around £45m?) where as long as he doesn't totally bomb here, you should be able to shift him on in a year or two without any FFP impact - effectively making it a risk free deal while we find our 'next Isak'.
