    Played in 16 games, 3 of which were sub appearances, and scored 11 goals. 



    Can't argue with that for £5.5mil

    I think Jelavic offers a lot more than he goals. His ability to hold the ball up allows support to get forward and we have ended up with others chipping in with goals. Also I think he benefited from peanuts being back who did have an excellent loan spell and we need to sign him if we want to start next season strong.

    Wish we saw more of Straq because he should promise in January. Definitely Jelevic first choice but for back up worth buying.

    Falcao would be nicer back up

    Straq ain't good enough.

    we have Anichebe and Vellios as back up but need a better striker as 1st choice sub.

    Doyle,fletcher or Klasnic should be available cheapish

    Smigone, I was with you until you said Radzinski haha. He's definitely got something of the classic No. 9 about him, a proper old-fashioned type of striker.

    Doyle just runs about and dives, Ivan Klasnic is less then useless but Fletcher is a decent player

    HaHa thanks Andy, he was just one of those players i liked and seemed very instinctive, maybe I should of went with Lineker.....he has actually gone back up in my estimation today for a b"ellend"arton twatter slanging match, brilliant!

    Vellios aint good enough and neither is Anichebe.

    Definitely need a decent quality back up striker.

    Late bloomer like Osman imo.

    Get him out on loan to somewhere like Coventry for a full season.

    So you're sending him to Coventry? What did he do to deserve that!
