Many sites/people claiming he's agreed to join us after speaking with Brucie. It's a breathe of fresh air that our manager has so much potency in acquiring targets.
Jelavic told Jutarnji list: "Steve Bruce called me and told me that he wants me in his team as a leading attacker. "He asked me if I'm ready to move, then talked briefly about the club, his coaching philosophy and about the club's goals. "He was very confident during that conversation and after that I agreed to move to Hull City.
Once again, the journo gets the info on here first... I knew this University stuff would come in handy.
From Sky Sports Transfer Centre 15:21 Steve Bruce has convinced Nikica Jelavic that Hull City are the right team for him, and the striker cannot wait to get started. It was revealed on Friday evening that the Tigers had seen a bid accepted by Everton for the Croatia international. "The club suits me and I'm happy that the clubs have found an agreement for my transfer". Apologies Macca... just seen your post with link.
I'm watching SSN at the moment and surprised they haven't mentioned it. I suppose still waiting for the club to release something?
He must be doing something to impress these top players like Huddlestone, Livermore and now Jelavic to make them want to come. Every manager players meet will say "We're going to fight for Europe and we're going to sign X, Y and Z to play around you." Actually convincing the player it's true must be hard.
NP would need a fleet of yachts to convince Negredo to sign. Either that or some smoooooooooth talking from Duffen. Nice that we can tell them what's in it for them rather than throwing bundles of cash at them (I'm sure there's still a fair bit of cash being thrown).
I just saw it on twitter. I think the Elmo chant would suit him well tbf. Jela-Jelavic-Jelavic-Jela-Jelavic
Because one of my best mates is a Tofee - and actually has Jelavic on the back of his shirt - this is such an exciting transfer! Can't wait to see him run out on Saturday.
