hmmm don't want to rain on your parade @nonotnowjim but... unless HK breaks a leg, it looks like it's only a year loan to me...

More fantastic work by our ‘phenomenal directors’

The useless c**t will be back next season with an even worse attitude and a bigger ego.

Well he's definitely coming back then, he isn't getting 40 starts. Even if Kane was injured for the whole season, there is no chance they would start him 40 times. We're just going to need to hope he actually does well enough to tempt teams to put in a decent offer when he does return.

The SD's must have been desperate to agree a deal like that, because it makes them look stupid.

He never was going permanently. Not for that money. Just watch Younes ranting about it all.

Some people just don't seem to acknowledge the fact that every other league in Europe is miniscule financially to the PL. So they will continue to loan players off of English clubs for a fraction of what the sale value with no real intent on signing them.

In fact I'd be interested to know how many peak level players, in their prime, moved from the PL to European leagues for permanent deals over the last 3-4 years. Kane was a big deal, but I am not sure how many others. I suspect that there will be kids moving mainly

He is not here. We get £14-15m loan fee....

All is good.

He is gone.

It will never happen’ – Bayern chief admits Nicolas Jackson will never trigger permanent transfer clause from Chelsea

Hoeneß also hit out at Newcastle

Is anyone other than the ex-con Hoeneß saying anything about this?

I refuse to believe it is true.

Transfers: Das erste Foto von Nicolas Jackson bei Bayern

BILD lichtet Nicolas Jackson bei Bayern ab. Der Deal wurde am letzten Transfer-Tag gerettet. Spannende Wendung am Deadline-Day.

BILD were saying the same before the transfer was completed.

I can believe it to be honest. Only an incompetent board would sign Jackson for 70m.

That link mentions that they have "learned" the clause involves a "very, very, high number of appearances", but it's a bit wishy-washy.

Bayern have always had a passive aggressive behavior towards us since 2012 for w/e reason…

Gives Bayern, and us, wiggle room. Its fine.

Say he plays 15-25 games, that then gives Bayern the oppertunity to say "oh, he didnt meet the game time requirement, so lets renegotiate the transfer fee - we will give you £30-40m.... deal?

But we can cross that bridge later - there is a whole lot of failure for him to come first before we have to cross that. A whole host of offsides and skied shots to laugh at - but whats important is that he is not here now.

As soon as Mod moves th thread we learn he will be back next year...

Gives you a chance to recuperate in time for his return Jim !!

Still, it's another source. I think the "very, very, high number of appearances" line is pretty telling. They must have got that info from somewhere.

I think it's very believable to be honest. Why else would Bayern agree to this? You're not going to pay 70m for a player unless they are contributing significantly.

To be fair - I had warned UB a few times (including on IM) to try and keep things on topic. He did have a tendency to make things personal and call names, which I always advised him to cut out - but he never really did.

UBs argument was that there was no difference in being rude or derogatory about a player (who probably doesnt read this forum) or each other….

A couple of the Jackson Cartel are now gone - which is a shame, but understandable. There was 1 more of the cartel who also had a tendency to get overly name cally at times - but he seems to have chilled out a tad recently….which has made things much better.

Being obnoxiously abusive to or about anyone , be it one of our players or our members should not be tolerated on this forum .

I have more chance of starting 40 games for Bayern this season than Jackson.

He isn't gone it's just a brief reprieve.

I mean even if we loan him for the next 6 years at 10mill a year average, then sell him for 15mill in his last year of contract, that will be great for both ffp and actual money made.

This loan alone of 15mill (however we got thar total) is more than half the fee we paid.

I nearly moved it to the Area 51 Archive, so it no longer appears in any public forum! I think maybe it's an idea to start a new Jacko To Bayern and completely can this one, it's f**king embarrassing!

Unfortunately, I'm still in denial, but I tend to agree. Something about the deal and the figures mentioned felt "too good to be true", but maybe he'll do well in a weaker league and earn a proper transfer to, if not Bayern, another Bundesliga club (or anybody, really). I do think he could do a job at that level.

Anyone else starting to feel a little bit sorry for wacko jacko ?

I mean, it feels like he's been parked for a year...

I won't be feeling sorry for him if he makes an appearance in the CL for Bayern and scores against us, I'm hoping for a trademark Jackson finish if he does play🙂

I love how we wasted no time moving his thread to other teams 🤣

Even though he's technically still our player, and unfortunately, will be our player again next season.

The Joao Felix thread moved 6 times!

Here ya go Jim ...from " we ain't got no history"

"A lower fee could always be negotiated if he does well. Or tax cheat Hoeneß, who also claims that Jackson himself paid €3m of the €16.5m loan fee to make the move happen, could just be telling porky pies."
