Nikica Jelavic

[Housequake]

A loan could have been a win win, Jelavic gets games, gets confidence and comes back fired up and may be helps us in Europe next season, any one who thinks we will sign £5/7m striker in this window will be disappointed IMO.

Nope, pure delusion.

Getting anything close to £7m for a striker who's scored 4 goals since New Years Eve 2012 is fantastic business, there's no two ways about it.

Even if we don't buy another centre forward this window, we might as well stick a jar of mayonnaise up front if we're in need of a sub, as it'll probably be more effective than he's been the past 18 months.

Just had a tenner on him first goal tomorrow 7/1

If he does then I'm leaving this forum. The furore would be unbearable.

If his replacement is scoring I wont care!

Jelavic will do well at Hull, as he'll have a striker partner nearly 100% of the time to take the burden off him and help share the goals around. He never had that at Everton.

Let's just put this into context.

Hull have paid about £15m for Jelavic and Long.

Juventus paid about £12m for Tevez and Llorente!

Jelavic did a lot better when he was playing with Cahill who did most of the running around. I think he and Long will have a similar partnership.

Let's just put this into context.

Hull have paid about £15m for Jelavic and Long.

Juventus paid about £12m for Tevez and Llorente!

Let's also not forget the 200k a week for Tevez and 100k a week for Llorente, compared with no doubt 70k between Jelavic and Long.

Total cost over three years for Jelavic and Long: 25.1m
Total cost over three years for Tevez and Llorente: 48.8m

Ohhh.

Ohhh.

Total number of goals that will be scored over the next 3 years

Tevez & Llorente > Jela & Long

 

[FTY]

Is it bad that I hope he doesn't do well at Hull? Had he moved to another league I wouldn't mind, but he he starts scoring goals in the PL again it's gonna feel like we're really missing out.

Yes it is, monster.

Clearly! They're five times the players Jelavic and Long are - nobody is debating that!

 

[Housequake]

If it was as simple as him having a busy partner to play just off him then why have both managers not played him consistently in almost a year?

I'm pretty sure two high calibre managers like David Moyes and Martinez would exploit that if it was the solution.

Read: he's sh*te.

 

[davids]

Just Davek mate. He doesn't like anyone.

'Catalan Clown' ...

Oh if that was true If he'd read some of the things posted here about him he'd have retired never mind signed for Hull ( mind you that is close to the same thing)

Except both managers favour 4-5-1

Bet alongside Shane Long he fires them in

 

[kevdotbadger]

Anyone feel that they should be watching the Norwich - Hull game today, just to see if Jelavic performs?
