I think we'll just about get our money back on Jelavic and we'll make a few quid on N'Doye, but Hernandez is obviously a write-off.
I think we always expected the strikers to walk. Let's work on keeping Brady, Robertson, Elmo, Chester and Dawson - we'd be laughing then with that foundation.
Hernandez played the full season in Serie B. One can only assume therefore he a) doesnt like Bruce b) doesnt like England / Hull c) Both.
I'm not sure Jelavic could last a full season in the Championship. It's brutal. Saturday, Tuesday. He would take a lot of managing.
Jelavic was rescued from his self inflicted Goodison nightmare for big money after a long goal drought which enabled him to play in a world cup and spent a lot of this season injured when we needed him. Hernandez was signed for nearly 10m on huge wages after never breaking into double figures in Seria A and has missed more sitters than anyone and just being generally ****. For N'Doye wanting to be off too after looking disinterested and lazy recently and only been here a few weeks is just crazy. If the rumours are true and they want away after what they owe us they should all just f*** off and nobody care if they are gone or not.
Does anyone know how much Jela, N'Doye and Hernandez are on? Jela's been estimated at around £60k pw but wasn't sure if that was correct.
With Jelavic and N'Doye Bruce finally signed a couple of good enough strikers. If they go then the record suggests we'll be far more likely to get fool's gold than precious gems.
As much as I like Jelavic he's our inujured too much and everyone knows our lack of goals is a problem so selling these 3 is a decent solution. If we could get £12m for all 3 I'd be happy.
This is why I couldn't care less about our drop. We pay x amount of money to pay for these guys wages just to jump ship as they could not keep us up. To move to Bournemouth or Watford. Pathetic.
They should have put their scoring boots on then shouldn't they! The team weren't good enough this season. That means all of them. The punishment for that is relegation to a lower league. Every one of them needs to pull their socks up, regroup and try and bounce straight back. It ****s me off that players can expect to leave when they're under contract. I hope nobody comes in for any of them. Might teach them some honour. This isn't a stab at our players, more an ideal I'd like to ser materialise.
unfortunately that's how the transfer system works - you pay a fee to get them to come - you pay them wages and you sign them for a fixed period of time - if you don't you don't get the signing on fee back, they just leave and that's the end of it - you have to hope they either extend their contract or someone will buy them so you can recoup the signing on fee - do you want Hernandez to stay until the end of his contract - that really would be £10 mill down the pan - at least if he goes with a couple of years on his contract we can save the wages and probably get £5= million if another idiot buys him
Jela was never going to stay in the championship - forget the other 2 and lets bring in 3 new forwards for our assault on the championship. Hopefully we'll score few more goals next season!
That Eddie Howe has got his head screwed onto his shoulders he wouldn't take any of our 'strikers' even if we were talking silly 'fire-sale' money
First of all Jelavic Hernandez and even N.Doye can go at the right price. Factor in as well Figs and Sagbo are going anyway that in itself will save serious wages. With the relegation clauses the £25m parachute payment should more than cover what's left. Bruce needs to try and sign the likes of Rosie Macca Quinn and Bruce jnr. We need all the battle hardened championship players. Snodgrass and Diame have already tweeted they are up for the fight. Both shoul rip up the championship
It does intrigue me as to where these players think they will go? Which Premier League manager is going to want to sign strikers from a relegated team for which everybody - even their own manager - concedes that scoring was the weakness?
