J7 Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 If we get him and Wissa, and he’s shit, we’d probably get the money back from Saudi in a years time. There really aren’t many other options now and I’d trust Wissa to score goals regardless of Jackson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk whinging in every single thread about everything FWIW - I don't rate Jackson at that price either, but based on the records folk are posting I feel I've been perhaps holding him in a worse regard than he actually is. The Sesko transfer is yet to be 'off', as is the Wissa one and the Isak one is as off as both of those. We all seem to think we have money to spend too. I get it, I really do get it, that it seems fairly shite but fuck me its relentless on here like we could sign any one (or two) of these people and keep Isak for the season yet. A 1 in 3 striker who will be at afcon at a price of 80m which if hyperthetically speaking if the fee we get for isak is around 130m all but the isak money gone on a player who is 24 who would at best take us backwards in terms of output and massively refills the coffers of a side who we want to compete with more than doubling their money. I really do understand the draining effect the negativity has on some posters. I know the club are trying but its been ego bruising summer for club and supporters alike. Not much to be getting excited about when the reality of a 60 game season where your top 4 rivals have all massively strengthend and you as a side have weakened on paper except RW. Remains to be seen how the older players being another year older will impact performances as well. Coupled with in my head and possibly wrongly preception we did our PSR penance and did nothing to the first team for multiple windows. Achieved the dream won the trophy got back into the elite competition of the champions league. It is our time to flex some transfer muscle get some much needed competition in areas and help in others so players who never get injured aren't flogged. Instead we have Wilson gone no replacement, longstaff gone no replacement, willock on the treatment table AGAIN, snippets of tonali knee and botman niggles fitness issues. I cant get my brain into sunshine and rainbows mode right now (not suggesting that's what your doing either). Its not the ashley years or PIF out. We have Eddie we have some fantastic players we just dont have all the ingredients for success right now. Time to turn it around yes, manager who will work as hard as possible to extract maximum results from the squad yes. However at this stage 10 or so days before the season starts its hard to be massively optimistic with a gruelling season ahead that its not going to be tough. A poor season next year could have massive ramifications of who actually wants to stay at the club and the pretiege and preceptorship it has to potential summer 26 signings. For teams wanting to break the top 6 it needs to be multiple years back to back to stop this flash in the pan brush I feel like we're getting tarnished with.

Jaqen Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 Wouldn't take him for anywhere close to that sort of price. However I do think he'd score more for us than Sesko will for Man U this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 Had a quick look and the Chelsea Reddit and they are mostly pretty complimentary, saying the fee isn't actually that bat-shit if you're comparing him to Sesko and plenty saying they'd rather keep him. Certainly not the id carry him to Newcastle myself posts I expected Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted August 6, 2025 Share Posted August 6, 2025 Look at it this way... Any striker that signs for us, wants to play for us. The one we have doesn't That simple fact means that we have to get behind whoever comes in and don't compare him to Isak week in week out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
