• Delap's debut season was disrupted by a major injury.
• Jackson was loaned to Bayern Munich after falling down the pecking order.
• Jackson has been on Aston Villa's radar, but his price tag is an issue.

Chelsea plan to use three strikers across the season, with both Delap and Jackson likely to leave.
