    As a Hull City AFC fan, what can we expect from Jelavic?

    When he first arrived he was great. Looked a real instinctive finisher & rarely missed a chance to slot home with 1 touch.

    However, last season he was simply woeful, & he managed only 2 goals in the whole year. Quite what happened to him is a mystery, whether it was just a confidence issue we just don't know

    If Bruce can get him firing again you've made a great signing there, but it's a big IF imo

    My #guess is you sold the likes of Cahill and Rodwell to focus on hoofball to Fellaini which destroyed his service and form

    You'd be wrong then, as the style of play didn't alter, as when Fellaini moved up it was merely to replace Cahill, who played exactly the same role, in exactly the same way.

    Rodwell was a crab, so I've no idea what you're on about there

    Well it looks like the plan was in place as soon as Jela looked at by Hull.

    Just a #guess? So you formed an opinion based on never watching.

    Looks like Villa are interested now in getting Jela on board. Could help inflate the fee and make sure we can secure the player we need to replace him with.

    He's agreed to join us.


    Just need either Hull or Everton to announce it officially.

    I wish the lad all the best.

    Bruce has gambled but if it pays off & he manages to find the player of 18 months ago, then he's done a great piece of business. If not you've signed another Danny Graham

    Agree with that...Im a bit disappointed he seems to be going though as he Is a better player than the others we have that could be back up to Lukaku and there Is the other problem we are selling a striker when our main striker Isn't even ours lol lets hope Martinez signs a striker!!

    I see you been Neg repped by the dickhead contingency again Tobes lol I don't know why you bother <eek>

    I'm no longer going to mate, I'm done.

    Shame about Jela, but I couldn't see him regaining his initial form with us again.

    Martinez said before the window opened that he needed cover for Kone, given he's out for the season, so now he needs 2! Unless he's intending using Mirallas as a central striker when needed?

    Jones from Stoke is being mooted ffs, I hope that's just a rumour!

    Kev can play through the middle and that is one of the reasons why I would lile to see Ince come in. Bobby has also sent Long out for a month so you may see him get some games, lets hope we see this little group of talent integrated into the fist team squad as some are clearly going to progress...
    Lundstrum in my opinion will be the one.

    Good luck to Jella, gave us some great memories, scoring against the RS at Wembley being a personal highlight. However this talk of Kenwyne Jones is worrying, especially with Lukaku going off the boil. We need a striker for the long-term to replace Lukaku, I'd rather not waste money from the Jelavic sale on rubbish such as Kenwyne Jones as a quick fix i.e one rubbish striker for another, i reckon Bobby needs to look at the bigger picture, maybe bring a striker in from the youth setup as cover for Lukaku until the end of the season.

    We need an experienced head as cover for Lukaku IMO.

    Jones is a red herring, I'm certain Martinez will bring in a quality striker before the window closes
