Very pleased. Won't be a massive sum i imagine

I'll be surprised if they've not made a profit. They only paid £5.5M for him, he's 28, and if you take a sub appearance as averaging 30 minutes (usually subs start about 60 minutes in, with some at half time and some after 70 minutes) he's got 16 league goals in 48 games for them. A 1/3 PL striker in his prime whould cost more than £5.5M even if he has had a dry spell.
 
Contradictory statements:

Mike White ‏@mikewhitesport 2m
Both Hull City & Everton keeping #Jelavic fee "undisclosed" but understand it's in region of £4.5m. Good deal if form returns. #hcafc #efc

It's in my post....

beat you to it again, Masterd :)
 
Looks like we're being shafted since everyone knows we're desperate for a striker. Neither should be anywhere near 8mil

Edit - I trust Mike White on all things transfer related
 
My mate reckons they're only after £2m for him and they'd snap our hands off for that.

"Dog ****" was the word used to describe him.

If it ends up a goer, hopefully he sorts it out and becomes dogs bollocks...
 
Just looked at an Everton forum. Thread was "Jelavic replacement."

One poster stated he thought it was going to be Shane Long. I hope us signing Jelavic, doesn't stop us signing Long.
