I was just about to jump off the Bridge, when an orange hand grabbed me and pulled me back. All hail Lord Philip of Brown
According to Phil Buckingham, both will top club fee records. So actually, Jelavic could cost quite a lot...
Well if we stay up we have the option to buy him in the summer. Could be that they decided we didnt need anyone on loan so rather than buy and fee up a loan spot they are going to leave it tell the summer.
I get the feeling he's someone who looks like Proschwitz and finishes like Graham I'm willing to be proven wrong, but if I had to choose between the two I'd rather have Long. Getting both would be perfect, of course.
Almost have to be, the bid for Jelavic needed to be at least 5.5 and the Long bid needed to be 6.5. Both those values had to be record fees for us.
Some people on Twitter suggesting the fee is £8m. Holy... EDIT: However, Mike White suggests £4.5m for both bids. Contradictory statements there, even between Buckingham (HDM) and White (BBC)...
I'm with you, but I think Jelavic is quite a stocky lad. Hopefully he can get an early goal and settle all the nerves. I'm a massive fan of Long, hopefully he gets signed up.
HDM saying it's £14m for both Long and Jelavic! But... Mike White ‏@mikewhitesport 1m Both Hull City & Everton keeping #Jelavic fee "undisclosed" but understand it's in region of £4.5m. Good deal if form returns. #hcafc #efc

This has to mean that Fryatt, Pro and Mclean are leaving. We will have 7 strikers if we sing Long and Jelavic.
