You spoke my mind here. Nico Jackson actually not the right striker for Chelsea United, but he is going to do better than Delap in Chelsea. You know why? Delap is a player that doesn't get involved with the playmaking. The teammate creates the opportunity and he scores, this is the kind of striker he is. But Jackson, in most cases joins in creating the goal opportunity, he has the skill and strength but he lacks the finishes. Delap on the other hand is very clinical. So I still think Jackson will do better at Aston Villa
What a striker needs is to be clinical at goal and not play making, a striker isn't a false nine or midfielder. The assists isn't what make him worth being bought but the goals. Jackson need to start taking all his chances and scoring or making the most of the chances that he's getting. That's something he isn't doing but Delap is a better striker than him or aren't you all seeing his contribution to the attack of the Chelsea team so far. The last game he played, he made there to be a threat and gave other players the opportunity to become more technical at goal and that what's giving J. Pedro all the chances that he's getting.
Exactly, being clinical is one of the qualities of a good striker and Jackson lacks this quality. There has been times without number that Jackson had the chance to find the back of the net but he failed. This is why he isn't better than Delap. What I love in a striker is to have a clinical finish. You will be rest assured that if he has a good chance with the ball, it becomes a goal.
