He's just played well and slotted a few. He's looked good when he's been brought on too.

Not like Roms been tearing everyone a new arsehole. Obviously he's the better player, BUT, there's a reason West Brom used him the way the did last season and its obvious to me.

Has he looked good when he's come on? The only chance he's had was when he was through on goal and hit it straight at Begovic with an entire goal to aim for.

Well in Jelavic today.

Should be starting against Norwich on that performance.

I'd agree.

But it seems like he's leaving.

So this changes it for me.

Not true. Had a header cleared off the line and laid on a great chance for Coleman.

I'd forgotten about that. Awful.

"he'll never score enough for us"

but a period of time not so long ago, he WAS scoring more than enough.... so its not that he hasnt got it in him, no?

This thread reminds me wistfully of Bily

I think if he had banged a few in at the start of Bobby's reign he would be in the mix a bit more and I would be sad to loose him, but he hasn't scored enough and probably now both club and player probably need a fresh start. I think if we can get back 5 mill for him it's good business.

Can't wait to get rid of him and get someone else in

Is there not a chance that he had a purple patch when he arrived and is now at his level?

I'd say he has. His movements looked good, he's getting on the end of things again and he's done well to get himself a few chances when Rom wasn't having a good day.

I want whats best for EFC mate not Jelavic. That's why I think we should go with him next game.
