William Gallas on Jackson:

🗣 "If you have a player who is really unhappy and unsettled, it can be really difficult to manage him. If you forced him back, it could have been disastrous for everyone."

🗣 William Gallas: "Delap gets injured, and they [Chelsea] want Jackson back, telling him to return to London.

Understandably, Jackson doesn’t want that, and you can see why he’s angry, because Chelsea didn’t really want him anymore. With his personality, he didn’t feel he could come back to Chelsea, it’s a huge mess."

🗣 William Gallas: "Nicolas Jackson found himself in the position where Chelsea wanted to sell him because he had not lived up to expectations since his arrival. He started as their main No. 9 and had the chance to start almost every game.

It was up to him to take that opportunity and score the goals that would have made it impossible for his manager to put him on the bench. After one season he had to adjust, and he was given another shot. He needed to not just score a lot, but score important goals too. Unfortunately for him and Chelsea, it didn’t happen."

While selling Jackson outright to Bayern would have been ideal, this deal is still great.

We get half his transfer fee just for one year, lock his value around £55m, and even have a long-shot chance at Kane suffering a season-ending injury.

Next summer, we’ll recoup his full fee and make a profit, even if we have to sell low.
