Yakubu's all round game was massively under-appreciated, he was a intelligent player with awareness and vision. He was great at holding a defender off, looking after the ball and slipping a clever pass in behind a fullback. Good finisher, terrific strength, always dropped deep and made himself available, despite the claims that he wasn't a team player. Perfectly capable of playing upfront on his own.

Saha was the most naturally gifted of the three, he was excellent technically and could score a goal out of nothing, from anywhere, but he had too many games where he wasn't involved and didn't offer enough composure and movement in the final third. At his age, with the injuries he's had over the years, he was probably better suited to playing with a partner. He looked really deadly as a second striker, behind Beckford, but we barely saw it.

As for Jelavic, I'd say he's already offering us more than Saha, and we'll see more of what he's about the more he plays. He's not as silky as a Berbatov, but he's intelligent, has a good awareness of what's around him and can do those little give and go's in and around the box. Varied movement, good aerial ability and a more consistent mentality than Yak and Saha, there's alot to work with there. He tries mad things aswell, overhead kicks, set pieces, shoots with both feet, I don't think he'll limited to penalty box finishing.

Excellent post Toccy lad. Agree with all of it.

So did Yak mate, but he was stronger, faster and better at smiling.

I just hope Jelavic never gets an injury of Yak's magnitude.

But yes, people forget the Yak in his pomp. Even modern day heavier, slower, older Yak has still netted 17 or something goals for an utterly sh*te team.

LOL ECHO

I think your possibly forgetting that Jelavic scored at Wembley.

He scored from Cahill blocking their clearance. Was Fellaini's nod on the only other chance we created for him?

As much as I criticise Moyes he's still got that magic touch when it comes to fantastic, bang-for-your-buck transfers.

He's currently slightly overvaluated so it's hard to say at the moment.
