Is it correct that the obligation the buy is only if he starts 40 games for Munich

If so I can’t see what the benefit was from the delay to make it a obligation if it will never be met

Maybe I have read it wrong or understood it incorrectly

He has to start 40 games. The delay was the faffing around trying to cancel the loan after the Delap injury, Jackson refusing to return, etc. BM wanted him for a season but on their terms - a straight loan - which they have effectively achieved. Unless, of course, Harry Kane has a leg amputated.

Agreed, one thread on this guy is enough.

Some would argue it’s too many but I argue it’s not enough, every thread should be a Jackson tribute.

No despite what’s come out of Bayern the requirement, according to Matt Law, is 40 appearances not starts

Irrespective the reason that clubs put such high targets in these obligations is because once the target is met the “ buying “ club “ has to adjust there FFP/PSR and squad costs to factor in the fee etc even if the transfer hasn’t been completed

If he plays 40 appearances for Bayern, they probably wont be able to afford to buy him - as they will have no champions league or bundesliga to look forward to. Relegation battle on their hands.

Does seem all a bit pointless and not like original reported on the day the transfer went ahead

Thank you

I don't want get into a debate about whether a one legged Kane is better than Jackson but do we have a recall clause in case all of our strikers become injured.

Maureen is always available. And better.

Afternoon tea yes, however i suspect she wouldn't fit with Maresca's style, he would probably be looking for cappuccinos and lattes.

The agent of Senegal striker Nicolas Jackson says the 24-year-old will never return to Chelsea following his loan move to Bayern Munich. (Canal+ via Transfermarkt - in German)

"Nico's job is not to play 40 games. If he scores 15 goals by December, they won't say, 'But you have to play 40 games,'" said Kamara, without confirming what exactly was contractually stipulated. He called the public discussion about the conditions an "ego war between the two clubs".

Nico has scored a couple in the AFCON. Bayern dont look like they are gonna sign him permanently. We are short of an effective striker.

We could do with more goals from a front man. The January window is opening soon.

Hes under contract, his agent can talk all he likes, but I'd bring him back. January 1st no messing.

Hes frustratingly wasteful and daft but probably one of the better options. Just saying.😐

There isn't enough whisky in the world to get me through watching him and Garnacho take turns missing sitter after sitter.

I think i need a whiskey at the thought of it.

f**king no.....

Bring him back just so Jim can lose his mind for our entertainment again

Two goals against Botswana. Not to be sniffed at. Goitseone Phoko is a top keeper. And I thought Cooper and Johnson played well for the Zebras.

Ademola Lookman scored a cracker against Tanzania. He is a former African Footballer of The Year. Do you think it's also worth looking at Lookman? Or should we just keep jerking on Jackson?

Oh, and the BBC are reporting Citeh are in advanced talks to sign Antoine Semenyo.

This fanbase is so united in our feelings of how sh*t this guy is that harmony and unison has broken out in the forum and although this thread has been running since September it's yet to see a second page

I dont think he will be brought back but was simply stating that he historically was a better option for scoring goals than Delap Guiu or George.

His play was frustrating and down right odd at times.

He is sh*t but better than what we have in terms of goals.

It was an error in hindsight to put him out on loan in terms of goals.

All those great chances he used to miss ?

The great chances being missed now are sort of being shared around the team aren't they? Seems to be a couple of sitters being given up every game . Now he's in the AFCON shop window, let's hope he's brilliant!!

Jim seems to be saving himself for the Jackson return !!

If we pretend he doesn't exist, the owner-numpties may forget about him 🙈🙉🙊

But Maresca rates him.

Nah - I am in a good place. Pissed on Gin. Stuffed on turkey, short ribs and christmas cake. And now waiting to drift away for an afternoon nap. Nico is gone. Life is good.

It is hilarious how some people still advocate for him to be here. The cartel and fanboys previously argued hard - and now, some members still try to spin and change history, and claim it was a mistake to let him go. It wasnt a mistake. He was one of the worst player we have ever had. 2 goals against some african part timers dont change that. It is genuinely funny.

All very simple. It was a messy chapter in our history. He is an awful football player. He is a sorry excuse of a human being. And he has gone. His agent has said he wont be back. I think Maresca said he wont be back. We moved on. Good riddance. I got what I wanted. The world is a better place.
