£5m for him! Also, I seem to recall we may have gotten away with not paying the total fee of £6m for Jela?
Didn't we only pay about £2.5m up front? Then Rangers went pop and they chased us as creditors didn't they?
I think they still owed us money from Michael Ball mate, something of that nature meant we didn't pay the full fee. Be impressive to make a profit on Jelavic after all that's gone on but once again, I have to say I don't want him to go. They say there's no place for sentiment in football, [Poor language removed] that. Seeing him slot yesterday meant more than any other player, I so wanted him to belt a few in and give himself a lifeline.
I've still got great memories of his ability, and I don't just mean scoring - I watched him closely when we beat WBA 2-0 a month or so after he came. His movement and interplay was class that today, I was convinced we had the real deal on our hands. I don't think he was ever really as good as his initial purple patch but he's got more ability and awareness than he's currently been given credit for, fair enough I suppose after having some poor games and being out the team for a long while. But he still has something to offer, and Lukaku the whole way is not the answer.
