If Jelavic goes obviously Martinez will need to bring in another striker.

Jelavic simply cant be defended as a top flight striker. Last year exposed the limits to his game. If you think we can hold out for more than what I said we could expect (or that he'll somehow stick around as a number 2 in a WC preparation year) then good luck with that.
Too much talk about Jelavic imo.... please move on!
Utter pony that, he showed in his first 5 months that he was a very capable top flight striker, confidence is everything to a front man & he lost his last season. There's no reason why we can't regain it this. He patently has the ability, as he's already shown it.
Kone's bang average imo & shouldn't be seen as an automatic first pick, Jelavic will have to compete for his place, but to blow him out now for a paltry fee would be a massive error imo.
doesnt look good for Jelavic
To what?
We should take the offer in my opinion. I love the lad but he doesn´t have the turn of pace that´s required in the premier league.
I'd keep Jelavic but I'm also interested on how the gaffer will utilize Vic as Wigan were linked with him a few times so he might suit Bobby's plans.
No it does,nt. Hopefully Bob has a wider scouting network other than the north west.
No rumours on this by the way but I would,nt be surpised to Steven P on his way not before long. i don,t think bob wants him in a wide roll so I am not convinced he will push him inside so......
Call me old fashioned but I want my forwards to score goals, there's a load of **** being spoken about Jela's 'all round play' imo, he's no Messi, but his job is to get on the end of things not be a creator.
When he arrived he was scoring goals for fun & was the most natural goalscorer I'd seen at Goodison for a long, long time. Last season he had a year to forget, his confidence dipped & the 1 touch finishes that were his trademark deserted him. It doesn't mean he's not more than capable of finding his form again.
If the subject of Jela's departure was being discussed last summer, we'd have put him in the £20m category, now we have those who would see him pushed put the door for £6m! Crazy, as £6m buys you little in terms of a PL striker & we can't rely on Kone & Victor ffs.
See people...
This is what happens when we don't have any games on for more than a week...
This is why everyone gets into a blind panic...
This statement was literally heaved out of the deepest recesses of your ass
There is NOTHING to support it
Why wouldn't he want him in a wide role?
and why wouldn't he try push him inside?
If you're bored shhhhhhhhhhhh
Guys. We need this Blackburn game to come around ASAP so we can talk about concrete things, like Deulofeu's sixpack.
This! And some of his attempts at finishing were awful, one air kick v Southampton away springs to mind. Plus, the notion he missed these chances because he was "tired" due to the tactics of Moyes is absolutely ridiculous.
