Human beings are usually very forgetful. Jackson’s agents are talking like their guy wasn't treated like a top striker at Chelsea for two solid seasons.
Chelsea bought him after 6 months of top-flight football and handed him the first-choice striker and kept his position unopposed for two straight seasons. That's enough time to make the position his.
Fans who supported him and the club got hits and were called unambitious. Then the minute they got him competition in the third season he got uncomfortable and demanded to leave.
Listen, for the fact that he got two consecutive seasons as the first choice number and cost Chelsea some games in the process deserves better appreciation from him and his agents.
No one ever said we can’t afford big players, lol. You’re just ignoring the fact that the way this club and project were structured is finally starting to pay off. And now you want to jeopardize all that by bringing in "big players" who will inevitably demand massive wages. If they flop, good luck trying to offload them. That would undo all the progress we’ve made.
Sure, the squad might improve, but the dressing room dynamic would take a serious hit. Seeing an outsider walk in and earn above the established wage structure by joining the club due to the pull of success that the current players built and achieved by sticking to the wage structure and the vision would definitely ruin the atmosphere.
When are you going to get the message? We got UCL, still our recruitment remained the same. That should have been enough even for you to understand that winning the CWC won't change our recruitment structure. It'll just add more funds so we can upgrade better in positions we need upgrading. But the upgrades won't be someone with huge salaries and huge egos to ruin the brotherhood, camaraderie and bond the players in the club have formed by remaining true to the vision.
So this tweet about your previous delusional comment is not the gotcha you think it is.
“Palmer is not a big game player”
• Euros final goal
• 2 assists in the conference league
• 2 goals & assist in the CWC final
• G/A vs every top 6 team in England
Put some respect on Cole’s name.
