Nikica Jelavic - Now official: he's signed

Hope Aluko gets fit soon, not heard any updates been too busy

 

Agreed fee, so terms, medical and signature next.

 

So he wont be playing tomorrow. meh

 

Mid table should be our ambition, definitely. But ultimately, our first aim should 17th.

 

Nope, someone mentioned the deadline being 5pm today anyway. So I don't think we had a chance.

 

There was one the other day basically

Aluko brady expected back late jan/early feb fingers crossed

If we get long/jelavic, aluko & brady back, we'll be a big push for top 10 finish

Wow!!! Did AA get a positive nod and a wink from FA over his proposed name change or something? £14 m, just like that. If that isn't a statement of intent, I do not know what is.

 

Yea I agree our first aim should be 17th. But I think Ricardo said a few days ago that each spot above 17th was worth 1.3 million. So a Mid-table finish would pay for one player and almost pay for another one of them. I am sure that the Allams will be expecting a higher finish than 17th.

 

Don't you have to be signed by noon on Friday or something to do that?

 

Thank you Mr Allam. Even if we don't get these it shows brilliant support for the club.

 

And a big thank you to our Bank Roller if this is all true.

Like him or loath him, he's putting his hand in his pocket.

 

You have to put the first paperwork in by then, but other bits can be done afterwards.

As far as Jelavic playing tomorrow goes. Huddersfield signed Wells on loan despite having agreed the fee, personal terms, and him having passed a medical because they didn't have time to register him on a permanent deal in time for the weekend. How are we meant to have the time to do it when we've announced well after that we're only just about to start discussing terms with the player?

 

Would we really want him starting tomorrow anyway? Let the lad get settled in!

 

I had money on Jelavic being the top scorer at the last Euro's and now it looks like we're signing him.

Form is temporary, class is permanent and if this boy finds some form we're f**king well quids in.

I cannot seriously believe people are moaning about us signing a player of such proven class.

 

Tbf, I haven't seen one poster moaning. Maybe Hat but that's it.

 

I appreciate that I'm a bit late to the party here, and I must also apologise for pricking the party balloons a bit somewhat.... but isn't Jelavic ****ing ****e? Hasn't he been Everton's Danny Graham for the last season-and-a-half?

 

I think there's a problem with my computer or browser - no moans about him are showing on my screen.

[EDIT: Great minds, Lewis. But yours is a little faster.]
