He will join Nunez up front in a new look strike force that is sure to excite the fans. He is also in the right age profile sought by the manager. The only question is why buy another striker?
It was thought the club would be looking to sign an attacking midfielder in the pre-season auction, given that is where the club look lightest. However, it is rumoured the manager took the unusual step of asking his son to 'pick a name' which led to the signing. Hardly the most scientific or best thought out strategy! It is thought the only reason he was chosen, was because he sounded a bit like Michael Jackson. It is not the first time Kirby has sought his son's advice on a footballing decision. Two season's ago, in the last week of the fantasy football season, Kirby had an important triple captain decision to make to potentially win a friends' league. Young Kirby chose Harry Kane 'because it sounded like Hurricane!' and Kane went on to score five I believe, and win his father £300
So what did the manager have to say.
''Jackson is a top class signing for us, and I'm looking forward to seeing him in action' I refute the rumours that we signed him randomly. It was almost randomly! I gave my tactical advisor 3 names, and he chose Jackson. It turns out we would have won any of the players I short listed, but hey ho! It is likely Malen will drop back into an attacking midfielder role, a position he is quite used to, after being used there several times last season. We could of course start with three strikers too. Something else that the club tried for long periods of last season.'
What next on the transfer front?
Malen has been transfer listed, and it is possible the club may swap out some more players for younger options, but generally the manager has declared he is pleased with the state of the current squad, and is ready for the new season.
