Good job you aren't a football scout, you'd have us battling relegation with those names. 

You think that was bad. Just check this one what he said here which I have put below. Some of the names 🤦‍♂️

I would  100% take any of these over Jackson - They are all far better developed footballers than the donkey: Watkins, Son, Isak, King Kai, Duran, Jota, Joao Pedro, Mateta, Fullkrug,

I would also probably take any of the following - although each one has a bit of a doubt: Jimenez, Evanilson, Calvert Lewin, Darwin, Awoniyi, Strand Larsen, Richarlison, Wissa, Calvert Lewin, Solanke, Hoijland,

But for sure - he is nowhere near the 2nd best striker in the league. Pure hyperbole.

 

Jim, you're simply obsessively trolling your fellow fans and a player at the club you support now. 

Wacko Jacko and posters who disagree with you on here live rent-free in your head. Take a sabbatical and work through your issues or find another hobby. It is really strange you can dedicate so much of your day to wanting to argue with people or post vitriol and hate on a player hourly.

oh - must be getting old, because I have missed the run of games that others have been given.  In fact, I don’t recall any other player being given a significant length of time, with the first team, to lead the line for us - other than an odd sub appearance here and there. 
 

Wacko the rubbish donkey fraud however gets game after game, minute after minute, and despite a string of completely anonymous performances he continues to get a run of games. Man City, Servette, Bournemouth, Brighton, Forest, Man Utd. All absolutely horrendous / anonymous performances.

He is rubbish and he needs to be dropped.

 

He played a maximum of 25 minutes across those two games against Servette but whatever suits your agenda...

City he was poor but so was Palmer that game. Bournemouth agreed but also thought Palmer was poor that game too. Brighton he was not poor. He was good. Assisted Palmer's first goal. Forest, was mixed. They played a very deep line but caused JWP to get sent off with his pace and got in behind but unfortunately we could not finish the game. United poor. Wolves, a goal and an assist (a header look at that). West Ham he was sensational. 2 goals and an assist. Newcastle he was fantastic too and could have easily got MOTM aside from Palmer. Another goal. Liverpool, in a game where we struggled to create CCC, he executed a really good finish and again I thought until Neto came on, our attackers did not create anything and even our best player once again struggled this game. United, yes acknowledged he was really bad.

I can point to you even great strikers without service how ineffective they are. Since KDB has been injured, Haaland goals rate has dried down. World class striker but even he has had games this season where he has looked out of sorts. Bournemouth was poor. Southampton he missed a dozens of chances which you slate Jackson for. Newcastle he did not get in the game at all.... but he has had games this season where he has been sensational. If Jackson also doesn't get service do you expect him to be superman?

You claimed you would prefer Havertz over Jackson. Havertz has been worse than Jackson this season. His last 2 games against Newcastle and Liverpool, he was awful.

So really, please tell me a striker who you want who has been consistently good this season?

possibly not, some of them might score a couple more goals than jackson but for an additional transfer fee of say 50-100 mill would you spend your money on such a flutter?

Of course. We absolutely need a new striker, and hopefully and new GK. These are the 2 priorities.

And it's not just about goals - he is simply not good enough at the fundamentals of football.

Are we just going to ignore Dovbyk, Sesko, Toney, Boniface, Vlahovic, Openda, Thuram, Guirassy, Isak, Watkins, Osimmhen or even Tammy that you tried to throw in there too. None of which are better than Jackson.

I was championing for Gyokeres since January but the rest are absolute dogsh*t. If you want to have a conversation about Gyokeres leading the line for us that's a conversation i'll happily entertain. You just ruin anything by the stupidity you throw into every conversation.

Isak is consiberably better , He looks top top level excellent movement, great touch and you always believe he will score when through on goal. 

 

The reest are questionable  - wouldn't say dog sh!t but Watkins, Toney and Tammy are the ones we have prem data on. Toney didn't do so well last season and priced him self out so what does it matter, (there is a reason no top team went near him) Tammy never really kicked on, not all his fault but the injury probably hit him hard and i don't think he's the striker we want. Watkins is decent, not top level thohg

Totally agree. You make some good points GB.

Personally I would have given Toney a shot at the right price. Probably the hardest working centre-forward in football and a real physical presence. Would have been good to see what he could with better players around him.

Watkins is a top level CF. He doesn't get the praise he deserves. I would say I prefer Watkins over Isak. Watkins is an all round striker. Works hard. Very strong. Good with either foot. Good in the air and like I say is a very good defensive forward as he does all the hard work and pressing, good link up player and has been getting better and better. He should have stated more for England. Last season he had 19 league goals which is excellent considering he does not take penalties. Also had 13 league assists. That is no fluke either as he did well the season before, but just proved he was only getting better with a brilliant season, last season. I defo would say he is top level. There is a reason why despite Duran having a brilliant goals per min ratio, he struggles to get in over Watkins.

Ollie Watkins is without a doubt the second-best #9 in the league. The only cloud over him is his persistent injuries. He has everything - finishing, power, pace, wins headers, scores from headers, finishes outside the box, inside the box, always on the move and works hard off the ball.

I agree that he is the second best no.9 in league, but think you must be getting his and Isak's injuries muddled up. Watkins fitness record is great. In the last 2 seasons he has missed only 2 league games. To be precise, 37 games played last season and 37 games played the season prior to that. Season before that 35 games and the one before that 37 games also. So, yeah his fitness is totally good. Isak on the other hand has persistent injuries. Not Watkins.

As above. 

Despite multiple requests, over 2 days - not 1 person has been able to come back and tell me what Jackson is supposedly good at....

For ease - the list,  which still has not been contested is:

- Not a good finisher

- Not a good header of the ball.

- Rarely wins duels with defenders (lacking physically)

-Brain-dead/lacking footballing intelligence

-Regularly offside

-Collects bookings like my wife collects handbags

- Not an assist machine (8 in total for Chelsea across 1.5 yrs)

These are the realities of his play - and without getting into how few of his actual goals mean anything - i.e mostly a flat track bully. Despite multiple opportunities and requests, not 1 person has been able to give a sensible answer to what he actually good at. The nearest we got was validation of the sole point I credited him for (that he was ok at getting the ball deep on the halfway line, and driving at the defenders)....and we all know why (HINT: Its because he isnt very good at anything!)

Messi wasn't a very good header of the ball either. What striker do you know that is elite at every aspect of the game? Most aerial striker can't run the channels like he does.

Not sure how you can say he's lacking physicality. Here's Jackson holding off Konate, one of the most physical CB's in the league. He did this several times against Liverpool. Happy to provide several more clips like this if you want:

Would agree for last season. This season, not so much. Cole Palmer has been offside more times than him in the league lmao where are your complaints for him?

Completely agree, needs to cut this out of his game as it doesn't help the team at all. We saw just as bad from Costa though.

See answers to all of your queries. I've posted many of these links on this thread before, you can't just ignore them and then say no one ever shows anything.

Jackson does lack physicality. The clip you have chosen shows Konate running back trying to catch up with Jackson who is the faster player. The physical duels he regularly loses are those where he is stationary and supposed to hold the ball up and use his body strength as a barricade to stop the opponent coming round or through him. He really isn't good at it. He gets pushed off the ball far to easily. Likewise he is pretty awful in the air. I'd even go so far as to say he is lazy as he very often can't be arsed to even jump and challenge for the ball. He has pace though and that is a big asset. I can see why he was previously a winger.

If Jackson keeps scoring like his fanboys promise he will, then it will pay for itself.

This time next year we'll be millionaires Rodney....
