Mario Mandzukic

[ToffeesAndDynamo]

Is striker even the most desperately needed position upgrade? I think we need to upgrade LM or RM before striker. Sure we need help there, but it's not the most important.

you wont be saying that if jelly gets injured 1st game and is out for months, do you want the chebe leading our line? ha

was impressed with the dzuke today but he is not an everton style player and defo not a moyes type player, you can tell that by watching him for 10 mins

Not upgrade, need depth. But agree with above, not sure Mandzukic is really the type of striker for Everton.

Agree...sorta...

Depth is important, but starting eleven comes over depth. And we can't afford a "depth" player for 7 million.

 

[teppic]

Right mid is the priority surely.

 

[TrueBluePhil]

I didn't like it when he was facing up against Pique at 0-0 and he decided to be cocky and do all the tricks and step overs. If he did that Moyes would bench him straight away .... Much rather have Donovan & Peanuts.

 

[Christiffa25]

Yeah I'd say 2 wingers are the priority (hopefully pienaar and Donovan).

I don't see this guy as a realistic option. We have our striker (jelavic) moyes certainly will not be looking for a strike partner more of a backup player who's good enough to partner jelavic when required and at 7M it won't be this guy!

 

[Elong]

I wish we could afford to have quality guys on the bench ready to take someone's spot when form and/or injury come into play. It's one of the things holding us back. When you look on Spurs bench and see Defoe come off it all season and still score a dozen goals, it makes you want to fume. FFS Bill.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Jelavic probs have welcomed him to Goodison anyways. Looks quite impossible atm

 

[ScouseBlueBoy]

Are we to judge Jelavic by what we have seen at the Euros?

As for being a 'Moyes type player', Manbearpig tracks back, does his share of defending and has a good engine.

 

[Papa Shango]

Mandzukic can play on the wing too.

 

[OneTrueLegend]

Mandzukic can play on the wing too.

Yeah, that will be moyes' tactic, take a striker and play him out wide, like he did with Andy Johnson and does with Victor Anichebe now.

 

[adamturner87]

It would be quite the schrewd signing. Although he's not gonna come cheap, I reckon a few clubs will be in for him. Hopefully the Jelavic factor will seal the deal.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I'd bet Moyes fancies the Croatia left back if a bid for Baines came in.

 

[Papa Shango]

Well yeah but they are never wingers. Mandzukic actually does play there quite often though its more of a wide striker role than a wide midfielder.
