Nikica Jelavic

What we need is proper wing play and/or playing the ball for him to do his one-touch special

I wish Moyes had been this patient with Yakubu.

Yakubu turned lazy and wasnt scoring, Jelavic isnt scoring, but lazy is not something you could call him.

I know it's not the popular standpoint in world football but I do like Barton. He's a blue and he doesn't give a [Poor language removed]. He's doing what most of us would be doing if we had his talent.

With you on this one, giving it loads to one of the best on the planet, because he's playing against him, most of our current lot would be in awe of him. Not saying all our lot should be just like Barton, but we could do with a bit more fire in the belly.

He does have a big massive snoz like

Yakubu was playing quite well before being abruptly dropped for Saha after a quiet game against Stoke.

Respectively disagree there mate.

Anichebe has improved, and is nowhere near as bad as he used to be.

But I'd still take Jelavic all day, every day over Anichebe. Even a non-scoring Jelavic. His hard work and movement pulls defenders all over the shop, creating space for Mirallas and Pienaar to run riot. It's not all about his personal goal tally, it's what he brings to the team.

Why would you take a player who's not scoring over one that mostly is?

I'm not saying Jelavic out but when your in form you play, when your not, you don't. Victors playing well.

I wish Moyes would learn the lesson he should have learnt when Yakubu went to Blackburn and realise strikers running their balls off affects them scoring.

I'd love to see Victor and Jelavic have a run of games together.....with Victor doing the donkey work and Jelavic poaching in the penalty box.

But when it comes to having one man up front, I'd have Victor because he looks made for that role and does use his brute strength to make chances and score goals whereas Jelavic, IMO, isn't suited to the role.
