I do marvel precisely what Nicolas Jackson will likely be considering when he sees the sort of striker names Chelsea are in talks to attempt to signal this summer time.
Jackson got here in final summer time and had a really sluggish begin to his Chelsea profession. He grew in confidence and his performances obtained a lot better, he ended the season sturdy. However there’s little question that he’s nonetheless a younger and uncooked striker adapting to the Premier League and creating.
So why on earth Chelsea are even considering shopping for one other striker who mirrors that’s past perception. A number of studies have acknowledged that Chelsea have been and are nonetheless in talks to signal Jhon Durán of Aston Villa, or Samu Omorodion of Atletico Madrid. Each are simply 20-years-old and are unproven gamers with potential.
Jackson have to be questioning why Chelsea want to usher in one other striker of the identical stature as him, slightly than an older striker who is not going to block his long-term future at Chelsea and in addition, can present him management, expertise, and nurturing on the coaching pitches and in video games. I might provide you with numerous examples the place this has labored a deal with at different golf equipment and at Chelsea. Having a younger striker develop alongside a extra skilled striker is a good recipe for achievement.
What if Jackson blocks one of many new 20-year-olds we’re taking a look at? what in the event that they then block him? None of it makes any sense and isn’t good in any respect.
That’s earlier than even mentioning the truth that this squad has a dire want for extra established gamers and confirmed high quality expertise – it’s a obviously apparent downside that just about each Chelsea fan, pundit, and former participant has observed and has talked about quite a few occasions final season. The striker place is THE most vital to get proper, and we’re at risk of getting it very incorrect, for my part.
