the comparison is about how players can have little dips, doesnt suddenly make them rubbish
Yeh, all players DO have dips and I didn't say that it suddenly makes a player rubbish but let's be honest here - Rooney even in his worst dip is still better than Jelavic in his best form. Anyway I never rated Jelavic that highly in the first place. I'm not saying Jelavic is rubbish but he is definitely nowhere near as good as some people - and the press - are making him out to be.
In all competitions he scored 8 goals in 5 years for Hajduk Split; 3 in one season for Zulte Waregem; 40 in two years for Rapid Vienna (which, in all honesty, is a good ratio), and 34 in just over a season and a half for Rangers. This isn't the mark of a £10m striker. Heck, if some club paid £5m for him this month I'd still say that he was slightly overpriced. Rangers bought him for £4m from Rapid Vienna where he was having his best time yet in the last one and half years where he's not been as good he's suddenly a £10m player?! I don't think so.
Maybe he would take off in a different league - who knows (and I doubt it), but in my opinion he's a decent SPL player or Championship player at best. As a previous poster stated about Boyd - he scored a decent amount of league goals in Scotland (195 across all competitions) but has been Mr. Invisible since leaving Rangers (only 12 goals since summer of 2010). Are you saying that THAT'S a "little dip" as well?
Some people are believing the hype about Jelavic and in my opinion it's not warranted in the way they are believing it to be.
Funny how all the Celtic fans think he is rubbish. hmm.
Shay he has 15 goals this season. Believe it or not they count penalties, free-kicks and goals scored directly from corners. And the fact his form hasn't been it's best this season yet he has scored 15? just shows how much of a talent he really is.
Re Newcastle? Think it would be a good move for him playing along side Ba with service from Ben Arfa, Cabaye and co. Chelsea and Liverpool are keen allegedly so we'll see what happens.
Funny how Rangers fans think that just because Jelavic scores only 10 goals in all competitions from open play so far this season he's worth £10m and is "fantastic."
Not all Celtic fans think he's rubbish either. A lot think he's decent but that is all he is - decent.
He may have scored 15 goals in all competitions this season so far BUT only 10 of those were from open play like I say. In other words he's needed 5 penalties to bring his tally up. Hooper has scored the same amount so far this season ALL from open play AND he was injured for a wee while too. So by that logic Hooper is worth a minimum of at least £10m as well then?! Somehow I don't think you'll believe that one yet you're quick to think that Jelavic is a "real talent."
Chelsea?? They have the likes of Torres, Drogba, Kalou, Mata & Sturridge and they are supposedly looking at bringing in Jelavic?
