I very much doubt it, how many goals do you see Jelavic score from being played through/supplied from behind? I can't actually remember a single one. He thrives off supply from out wide. Long was the player that allowed us to play through the middle.
Wow, did the Long deal make the back page. If so, two days in a row with Hull City being the main headline. Wow.
The mail and others are picking up on the mirror article and running with it now to http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...tml?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490
Apparently Long has taken and passed a medical this evening. Can't they just bloody hurry up so we can spend their money on getting welbeck in in time for Saturday?
I don't know whether I love or hate these rumours. I love it as it makes everything exciting but I hate it due to my hopes being raised and then we end up signing Bendtner on a free.
If Bruce pulls this off, it will be amazing. We'd all snap Man Utd's hands off for a season long loan with a view to a permanent next summer if the "£14m fee" thing doesn't come off.
