    Aluko could be on the wing instead of the bench in that team.

    When Aluko and Jelavic were at Rangers for that one season together, they scored a combined total of 29 goals, and probably assisted half of each others goals. I know it is the SPL, but if they play similar to that, even though there wont be nearly as many goals, there will be a few.

    Agreed. We won't play all three if we get them. It would be Aluko behind the two strikers.

    To put the fee into perspective, its still less than what Palace paid for Gayle and what Cardiff paid for that Scandinavian lad!

    You'd have to ask Brucey, he's the one that was pissed off in the press conference yesterday, brought up how long people had had to spend on the phone calming different people down, and felt the need to apologise to the clubs in question (Sunderland with the Fletcher report a few days earlier being the other).

    If we're going to play that card in one press conference, we need to publicly act in line with it in the immediate future, which is obviously now our present.

    I agree, was just thinking pragmatically that he may end up being more of a super sub for him if we have even the slightest concern about his fitness.

    So do you reckon we'd go a front three with Jela Long and Aluko, with Sagbo on the bench?

    True, it'd still **** us up if we got relegated but let's not think about that.

    Yeah tried to figure out the best combo. The amount of time Sagbo spends on the wing we could play him in a wide position. Just so nervous about Aluko's fitness haha.

    Not sure. I think that it will be a combo of Jela, Aluko and Sagbo. I dont think we will get Long. His wife isnt backing down on twitter.

    I suspect there would be plenty of PL clubs eager to snap up Jela if we went down.

    That Gayle fee really was mental.

    Yeah then that's all good, I'm just talking in a perfect world.

    If it's Sagbo, Aluko and Jela I still think that's pretty potent.

    Hope this news brings the best out of Sagbo. I really rate him and handled right he could become the best of the bunch, but he does need regular games.

    Longs wife may back down of course. Perhaps our offer will be enough to temp her or there will be some agreement about where they live. But if you go here she has said similar stuff today that she said before. https://twitter.com/KayleahLong

    Yeah, I noticed a City fan tried to defend her and Long's wife just had a go at her.

    Jesus.

    Think this is great news if it happens. Though some people knocking the potential signing just need a quick think about it. We're very much a small player in a big league, any prolific striker in the top flight is likely to be bound for a club more established than ourselves. Jelavic may not be banging in the goals like Suarez, but for a club like us he is exactly what we need. A sense of perspective is needed.

    Had to let you hull boys know that you've got a bargain in jelly. I'm an everton s.t holder. Give him a first time ball and he WILL score. He has zero pace so play to his strength.do this and you will finish 9th.as a blue i didn't want to see him go. Good luck for the season lads, see you next year !
