I’ve had some time to think about this….

I think they’ve used the Delap injury as an excuse to get Jackson back to sell in full to Newcastle. Guiu is the real recall cover for the injury.

the strategy if pulled off could fund our no 10 cover.

Newcastle cannot go into the season with only one striker.

There's no way we would recall Guiu.

For all of Jackson's faults, he's significantly better than Guiu

The plan is clearly we buy a striker or we keep Jackson til January.

I'd personally prefer we roll the dice with no Jackson if we can't sign a striker. But I definitely don't want us recalling Guiu.

I think Jackson and Newcastle make sense but they might have another targets in their mind.

I assume you haven't been paying much attention to what's been going on in this transfer window LOL.

He has played both CF and LW positions an equal amount in his career to date.

What no doubt attracted Newcastle's attention was his 19 goals in 35 PL games last season, all at CF.

Surely we don't have to rush out and buy a striker just because Delap is out for a few games ??

After all our player trading how have we ended up without a cover for the striker ??

Jackson is way better than Guiu, but Guiu is of an age and experience and dare i say quality that would allow him to sit comfortably as our 3 rd choice striker. It might work. Pedro>Delap>Guiu. Jackson could be sold today or January.

Guiu could play against Lincoln, Pafos, and Qarabag, plus likely 3rd round FA cup. Hes gotta start somewhere.

With all these games coming up... maybe we're going to need him - knows the players and Maresca ball... 😁

Back on for a move to Bayern.

“Nicolas Jackson deal was never off or collapsed, even after formal Bayern letter to return to London. Chelsea have depth now with Marc Guiu back to the club and can re-negotiate terms with Bayern, open to solutions.”

Our lot are amateurs

4D Chess by our phenomenal directors!

"Maresca was happy with just two strikers and put an £80m price tag on Jackson after Chelsea won the Club World Cup in July."

Then....

"Asked after the game about the possibility of cancelling Jackson’s loan, boss Enzo Maresca said: “No idea. When you have two strikers, it’s enough. When one is injured for different weeks, probably it’s not enough."

Seems like you might be right

I just think between 13 September and 4th October we have 7 games. Guiu would start against Lincoln and I'd wager he wont get more than 5 minutes in any of the other 6.

Maresca will 100% rather start Neto up front than Guiu

I strongly disagree.

Of course you do. Its the Broja principal.

The player who has never scored a meaningful goal in his career is better than the devil you know.

You decided to have selective amnesia? This poisonous fcker has just spent the last 24 hours refusing to come back. I don't give a flying fck if he spends the next 6 years sat on his ar$e in Cobham, i just don't want him poisoning what is developing into a good team group here. Having got rid of attitude issue Madueke, it would have been a great window to have seen the back of this bloke as well. Now we are lumbered with him. I would rather we play youth players than him

Clownlake is on a mission to view every cock up and mismanagement decision as really a part of a predetermined, brilliant plan . .

In every comment he shows his prejudice and hate towards critics of what's happening to our club .
