He could have been both Jo\u00e3o Pedro\u2019s backup and Rogers\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another added: \u201cFirstly, that was superb goal from Nicholas Jackson. Chelsea sold him to buy a 35 years old player, who isn\u2019t even as mobile as him, especially for what Xabi wants from his striker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A third stated: \u201cJackson was never a problem at Chelsea! He was a very good and smart player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another claimed: \u201cThe thing about Jackson is that you could see he had something about him in his Chelsea days surround him with goal scoring wingers and it\u2019s an even bigger problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, one user said: \u201cChelsea should not have sold Nicolas Jackson.
