Villa open talks for Jackson

I dont buy the idea that Villa are somehow getting fleeced just because people dont like Jackson, the guy is young, proven in the league and offers something different, and in this market that kind of profile does not come cheap anyway
 
chelsea fans acting shocked like they havent seen this film before lol every summer someone leaves for a fee that makes the rest of us feel sick and then they replace him with another shiny chaos merchant
 
This sort of deal always reminds me of being in the pub and hearing two blokes argue over whether a player is worth it based on one bad touch they saw on telly, because that is basically where football is now, all vibes and clips and everyone pretending they have seen enough to judge a whole career, and I swear the Jackson discourse is exactly that, half the room says he is useless, the other half says he is underrated, and then the actual clubs are in the back room doing a deal nobody expected while the rest of us are still shouting about whether he can finish, I remember when people used to lose their minds over a striker missing one sitter and now the whole internet turns it into a personality test, it is mad, and if Villa do end up taking him then I can already see the first away day where he scores and the same people who called him rubbish are suddenly acting like they always believed in him, football memory is shorter than a pint glass mate
 
I can see why Villa are interested because he gives them a different kind of threat up top, and Chelsea probably know they can cash in while the market is hot, but it is still a lot of money for a player who frustrates people as much as he excites them tbh
 
If Emery wants a high-energy striker who stretches games, I can sort of see the logic. The price still feels nasty, though imo
