Scholes: Chelsea shouldn t have rented Jackson, Palmer will play much more comfortably with him

October 6th Scholes and Paul Merson were interviewed a few days ago, and both believed that Chelsea should not send Jackson away this summer.

Scholes said: "These midfielders who play No. 10, like Palmer, need speed in the frontcourt, and need strikers like Ian Wright on top. I don't think Jackson is the best finisher, he's never the kind of player who makes you very confident that he'll score when he drives the ball to the goal, and I don't get that impression from him."

"But at least he can push the line forward, and his running helps other players because it creates space for others. When you lack speed, everyone presses up and you have nowhere to go."

And Merson said: "I think it's a bad deal for Jackson to be rented out, I really think so, I think Jackson is a Just Palmer, and Palmer made Jackson too. "

"As a midfielder, you like passing, so you like having speed in the frontcourt, which is the coveted combination. Jackson always gets forward, which will open up the game and give Palmer more space."

"Now he's gone, Joao Pedro comes on, but he's more like a 10-point retracement position. Suddenly, technical players like Palmer and Enzo get less time to get the ball, and start to catch the ball in a further back position, and from there you can't hurt the opponent. "

"This is a problem for me. Jackson is not the best finisher, but he always plays well, and I think it's a bad loan."
