Hi Eds, wondering what you believe will happen with Jackson and Delap? Jackson off to Villa?
{Ed001's Note - Villa want Jackson if Watkins goes, which is looking increasingly likely. I can see him ending up making another loan move though, as there is interest but no one willing to pay the Chelsea asking price.
Delap is possibly off to Everton, though the asking price is putting everyone off. His value has dropped markedly after his awful season but you are looking for your money back. That's why I think it will probably end up being a late window move to Everton.}

If it's only a loan for Jackson, I would sooner keep him.
We buy these players, then become a charity company for other clubs who can't or won't buy players.
It was bad enough with Italian clubs coming in with their begging bowls, but it seems to have crept in over here.

Hi Ed, any truth to Jackson to Bayern rumours?
{Ed001's Note - I don't know. I did ask someone who should know but they haven't got back to me yet and I didn't want to just leave you waiting on an answer.}

Ed001 always love hearing your insights and had a question. It feels like these days the prem just doesn't have the goal scorers it used to especially from minefield. Who do you rate as the best goalsccorers in the league obviously you have you Haaaland but even a lot of the forwards for clubs feel more playmakers up front than goal scorers.
{Ed001's Note - interesting question, Palmer would be one, when on form anyway, as would Rogers. Semenyo is another, he always has a goal in him. Merino is another that can be counted on to pop up with a goal. Isak tends to be fairly lethal, if he can stay fit and Gakpo is another who can be relied upon to score regularly but I think he probably takes too many shots to be classed as one of the best goalscorers.
Bruno Fernandes stands out it must be said. The other that really stands out as a goalscorer is Chris Wood, though he is ageing and gets too many injuries. Other than that, there are not really many goalscorers. There are players who will pop up and add the odd goal, but not that you can rely on them to be clinical. Too many players like Igor Thiago, who wastes far too many chances. You are right, there are a lot less players that stand out for goals now than there used to be. Quality has dipped throughout football in so many aspects of the game, players are so robotic these days - overcoached.}

Appreciate the reply! Funnily enough, I was just discussing Igor Thiago with a friend, and I insisted he won't be able to make anywhere near the return he got last season, which led us to predict the top 5 scorers this season, and, outside of Haaland, we couldn't come to much of a consensus. Who would you have in there?
{Ed001's Note - yeah I agree with you on Igor Thiago, he dithers too much on the ball when in a shooting position. He should have racked up a lot more goals last season but kept losing the ball before he did anything with it because he was just doing nothing.
It is a case of Haaland and 4 others, if Isak stays fit, he will be in there, but that is almost as huge an if as saying if Lavia stayed fit! Gyokeres you would expect to be in the top 5 as well. One of Joao Pedro, Palmer or Rogers should get in there, maybe even two, you would expect. For the 5th I will say Kroupi.}

Pedro will definitely be in there, as might Rogers and perhaps Palmer.
