Strikers

Of course Jelavic gets stick. He has been slaughtered. The difference is we have seen Jelavic be prolific yet how many seasons has Anichebe been at Everton and how many goals has he scored

Just don't want to go into a new season with Vic and Jella being our main strike force.
 
I'm alarmed at the amount of people that have forgotten Yakubu had a serious injury in 2008/09 that kept him out for about a year

The 5 in 17 beforehand wasn't exactly setting the world on fire though, was it? That's a completely average goal return for a £12m striker.

So was the 7 in 51 after it...yeeesh.
 
It's a ball ache when you see the likes of Norwich sign Van Wolfswinkel and trying to sign Ola Toivonen.

Then there is us with Anichebe and a struggling Jelavic. :lol:
 
I'd keep both Vic & Jelavic, plus bringing in a quality striker as well. We need 3 out & out strikers in the squad.

Jelavic showed in his first 6 months just how good an instinctive finisher he was, whatever happened to him last season, I've no idea, but he's still got the ability, Martinez needs to get it out of him.

Big Vic showed last season just how much he's come on imo, he's never going to be a 20+ goal a season player, but he's still a very useful squad member.
 
Jelavic & Anichebe comparisons, from 2011/12 onwards.

Jelavic: 19 goals in 59 appearances, a 32% conversion rate.
Anichebe: 14 goals in 48 appearances, a 29% conversion rate.

Jelavic got 1 assist compared to Vic's 5 or 6 last term and also spent most of it either on the floor or desperately trying to control the ball.

This all comes down to how Martinez will get us playing, because under Moyes it was Victor who was undoubtedly helping the team out more.
 
Considering Martinez's form at Wigan - Moses, Rodellega, Kone - it seems more likely that he'd go for Anichebe over Jelevic, if that's the choice he's left with. I'd be very surprised if we don't sign another forward, though.

Are you saying he prefers black players.:P
 
Give Vellios a chance. Has he done anything wrong in the brief time he's been on the pitch? So, why not?

So are you saying we go into the new season with Vellios ? I think he should go on loan with Davie Weir at Sheffield U
For a while,should have gone on loan last season, if Moyes had being doing his job.
 
Depends what formation we play aswell if its two up top we need to flog jela and bring in 2 class strikers with anichebe on the bench, but if its 3 up top we need to sell jela and spend the money on one top class striker like negredo/soldado with mirallas and pienaar on either side
