MU paid £76m for Šeško, Arsenal £67m for Gyökeres. It's a funny old world.

Both of whom are significantly better footballers than Jackson. Not even close.

Right.

How's Nkunku doing?

Really? So because it didn't work out with 1 player who never recovered from a serious injury, you think we should persist with Jackson? What an odd position to take?

Nico always had some ability, the issue was (if i can remember) that his reading of the game was "off". He was always offside. He would also get yellow cards for arguing with the ref. He wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and he was inexperienced in reading the game. But he was robust, strong, fast and according to his record he did actually score goals (24 in 65). He has had limited game time in Germany, but he has a league title and again he has scored goals (7 goals in 20 games or something). As a backup striker. He is certainly a better option than Liam and Marc. He is on his way back, the Germanz don't want him, the SD's are retarded and we are not getting 60 million quid for him. So maybe we use him in the squad as back up striker?

• You've begged for Nkunku to start over him all of last season when it was clear to everyone but yourself he wasn't better than Jackson. He's now proving as much at Milan.

• Fairly certain you did the same thing with Broja. He now looks not even Championship level.

• You now want Emegha to come in over Jackson, who looks absolutely f**king sh*t.

• You are now adamantly saying Gyokeres and Sesko, two players who have worse performance metrics and G/A than Jackson over the course of his two seasons in the Premier League, "are significantly better footballers than Jackson and its not even close".

The lengths you go with your Jackson agenda is amusing to watch given you are proven wrong time and time again.

He dyed his hair blue - whats not to like about that.

I also advocated for Maureen the tea lady to start over Jackson. You dont seem to understand, that I think literally anybody is better than Jackson. If @Sconnie Blue is giving the answer 'Nicolas Jackson', then @Sconnie Blue has misunderstood the question.

It's ok dude...keep on pining for a reject whom the club have already gotten rid of. I often do the same for Turbo Timo - but he was a lovely boy.

The tea lady isn't better than Jacko Jim, don't keep writing stuff like that, the fecking owners might read it and sign her up.

I'm sure they've already run her numbers through the Clearlake AI Agent.

nico is sh*t.. has zero composure and zero finishing ability and can’t head the ball.. he has pace and decent control and can spot a pass..

Our big hope was that his finishing and composure gets better but it hasn’t so no point persistenting with him - he ain’t going to be a winger and not a great striker either- reminds me if kalou..

In my old job, many years ago, I was the Immigration Officer that stamped in Didier Drogba into the UK and activated his entry clearance when he signed for Chelsea. Got to have a chat, get his autograph and wished him all the best...it worked out well. (NOTE: I also did this for Adrian Mutu, but that didnt work out so well. And for that I apologise).

Anyway, the point is I might have to dig out my old immigration contacts book, and pull some strings to get this jokers visa cancelled if he was ever to look close to coming back here....

Dearest Val...some of us, a very small minority, the outcasts of society....still have this little thing (no...not THAT!)... called morals.

So...let me get this straight. Your strategy is:

a) buy a player - in this case Jackson.

b) try him for 2 seasons, where he proves to be a liability.

c) decide he is clearly not good enough, and go all out to sign a new player (Joao Pedro) to replace him

d) having decided he is not good enough, then try to get rid of him.

e) loan him out - which see's him miss almost a full season of football - with him hardly playing, and when he does, getting a few sporadic appearances as a back up player in a farmers league

f) having failed to play regularly in that farmers league, then decide that maybe a miracle has happened, and actually, maybe he IS good enough after all - so we decide to bring him back....

... I mean, come on dude. There are long shots, and then there are long shots..... with a "strategy" like the one you are advocating set out above, it is little wonder Winstanley and Stewart remain in employment.

....edit: and then you have the brazen audacity to advocate for Sanchez to be kept. I am sorry, but a poster who advocates for Jackson and Sanchez being good enough to play for us, seriously lacks credibility

It's ok Rising Sun she is a defensive midfielder so it would be wrong to compare her to Jackson even our SDs wouldn't play her out of position....or would they ? tbf she does need some minutes.

A frontline of Garnacho Neto and Jackson would give us some great entertainment, see us break lots of EPL records.............. and be relegated by Christmas.

But unfortunately he hates it here. His agent said he would never come back.

However I'm with you on this RS. This club needs a huge change. And a good old relegation will solve a lot of our problems. Blueco will feck off, the tourist fans will feck off, talks about a new ground will go away, in our reduced circumstances Garnacho could win POTY. And, and, this is the huge bonus, playing Tottenham in the Championship is a still a guaranteed 6 points!

Jackson can helps us get there and can help us stay there. But apparently he doesn't want to be part of our project. Ungrateful fecker.

I see some skint Italian clubs are interested in a loan. Just the type of deal Italians love. But I do not think BlueCo work that way. I think Jackson was loaned only because that 16.5M loan deal was too good to pass up. Other than that I can't see this board loaning players just for the sake of it. They know that which each and every passing year, the players' value decreases.

I can see him stay here in case we miss on European football. Even more I think he will be reintegrated into the first team because without European football I can't see this board go all in again on the market. In the end Jackson is our player and I believe the board will make the new manager reintegrate him and play him and invest some money into other areas on the pitch.

Which is the right move considering our current options and until we are actually linked with a player better than Jackson.

Its pitiful that a list of Delap Guiu Garnacho Gittens offer very little threat to keeping this fella out of the starting line up or the bench, i doubt if Buononotte and Broja would have done much better. The Academy lads /Youth players also appear to be an unfashionable choice in comparison.

He must be laughing his cock off.

I agree. Not the best player, but not a donkey either. If this board can find a left winger that can actually produce goals and assists, my belief is a front line of Jackson supported by Palmer (right wing), Joao Pedro (no. 10), new left winger can look very good under the right manager and in a season without European football and plenty of rest in between matches and more time on the training pitch.

Add a very good partner next to Caicedo and two competent and solid center backs, and this team can only be transformed with 4 news moves.

Unfortunately I can't trust this incompetent board to finally wake up and take the right decisions.

I'd rather see time and effort put into developing Mhueka and integrating him into the overall squad, than any of the current options tbh.
