I just love the guy so likeable doesn’t stop working for the team has a rare Aura around him

He doesn't have the defeatist body language that has become a trade mark of our strikers for at least 5 years.

I like how he hoist up his shorts, he agrees with me they're too long these days. Football improves with the showing of a bit more leg, I'm convinced of it 😎

Drogba, Hazard, Jackson all scored their first goal on the 25th August.

For  your hedification.

 

Thought he was quality yesterday, delighted he's got off the mark. He definitely needs a bit of help up top because as good as he is he can't do it all by himself, can't wait to see him and Nkunku link up in the second half of the season.

I really don't want us to sign a striker to compete with Broja for the bench spot

Borja need to go on loan somewhere. Asking him to stay is the same as ruining his career. 

He's actually doubling up, playing an Nkunku role too.

Not necessarily. We will know more when he reappears.

I disagree. We have seen this story again n again. Cho, Ruben. There won't be enough game time for them to find their form here. 

For st it is even worse.

This!!

All the big names we signed as strikers recently have been divas he seems the complete opposite to that maybe his background has something to do with is similar to Drogba coming from a poor background you have a different perspective similar to Caicedo to know you have to work hard to get where you are.

We have to buy IMO. We have absolutely no cover for the centre forward role. Anything happens to Jackson and we are back to last season's fiasco with no viable striker. 

It's a long time until Nkunku comes back. Broja isn't even getting a spot on the bench and how do we know he will even be the same player after such a horrific injury. And Burstow has looked like he really isn't ready for this level yet in the few occasions he has got on the pitch.

It is difficult to sign a real backup st. Kane backup for years was son who play next to him . Haaland backup is Alvarez who also play next to him.

Not saying I've got a name to throw in Bob. Simply saying we need to have someone. Every time Jackson goes down I'm terrified.

Toney available in 20 weeks.

The thought of Toney and Jackson paired in attack gets me salivating.

Hmmm...I appreciate the thought @dermott, but it doesn't seem to work in claret and blue. 

This is more like it  - and I'm sure it improves running speed:

Be still beating heart.

A goal is great for his confidence. I'm hoping he does become a consistent goal scoring striker. But even if he is more of a firminho type player, that's also very useful. It's been ages since we've had a striker like that. As much as I love Didier I don't think he was the greatest goal threat, but he offered much more outside of that. 

Really like this lad from what I’ve seen so far. The effort and work rate is there and his link up play with Raz is really good.

Keep going Jacko.

 

I like him a lot. Dogged, determined, strong, pacey enough, links up very well. But he needs to develop that Haaland-smell for goals. His movement to find space that leads to goals isn’t developed enough yet

I completely agree with you. As, I said it Lukaku thread. Jackson is very good but the way he play is just so scary too watch. He throws his body and leg everywhere.

I don't, Drogba's goal record isn't up there with the best strikers in the league is it? But there's more to a forward than goals.
