If he's the one, then God help Chelsea
On a serious note, my opinion of him is clouded by my hatred for Chelsea and I haven't watched enough of him to formulate what I think of him. From an outside view, it doesn't look good so far.
After the amount of money they spent, you’d really think they’d get a better striker than Jackson or at least more options.
Chelsea made a very big mistake in my opinion with buying Nicolas Jackson to be their top striker. Although, they had Christopher Nkuku but he was always suffering from one injury or another. At the moment, he sustained hip injury which will take me out for months.
This is the saddest part of football. If a football player starts making mistakes then the supporters will say bad things about this player and forget this player has saved the team in hard playing situations in the past. They could even neglect his nationality when spreading rumors about it as kind of racism.
This is the reality of modern days football. It is only when players are bought at a very high price the manager of the club which purchased the player will be forced to be patient with the player when he's not playing well. A good example of what is happening with Antony in Manchester United. He has been poor all the season but the manager keeps playing him.
The money spent they need to recover it to sell a player and time spent for recovery could be a very long time so this is the reason behind keeping players among the season despite they are not playing well as the following example mentionned.
I agree with what you have to say about the hype which was around the transfer of Antony from Ajax to Manchester United. Manchester United scout reported they have evaluated the cost of Antony to be around $25 to $30 million but Manchester United was later pressured to pay $100 million for the player. Manchester United is the worst with how much they waste on average players.
If they could sell the player to another team can they recover even a quarter of the money because I guess the monetary value of the player has decreased after all of these deception he has done while playing on the team?
There is no team in the world that will be willing to pay even half of what Manchester United were forced for pay Ajax for Antony. Ajax wouldn't buy back Antony from Manchester United for $30 million. Also, the wage which he's earning from playing for Manchester United can never be matched by another club.
Are you saying that you are afraid that Nicholas Jackson has taken his chances with both hands? I am of the opinion that it is better that he keep taking his chances now because Chelsea may end up signing a new striker in the summer.
