True and in an ideal world I'd take both but which TYPE of striker do we need more . In my opinion we need a long kind of player more due to the constant running and harassing and generally being a pain in the #### for defenders . We need someone with pace who is direct and aggressive . For me jelavic is like niko , absolute class if given the time and service but may struggle with work rate etc

Don't know and would be happy with either one. Actually don't remember when Austin or Johnson received a direct pass and could utilize their pace?Originally posted by Greg1882 View PostTrue and in an ideal world I'd take both but which TYPE of striker do we need more .

Exactly . We need someone to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and drive the attack but like you say would welcome either with open arms . Just think we need a long type more than a jelavic typeOriginally posted by Timmy the Doc View PostDon't know and would be happy with either one.

Long has done it in the premier and championship!!! Proven goalscorer!! Jelavic as.much as I'd like him at qpr.has.only.really done it in the spl!!! Not the same.standard!!! International class is a.exageration!!
Long.at.26 is.a.better investment and the type.of player we.need.more!! Less.of a.gamble and know what your getting!!

Jelavic has actually a better goals-per-game in the Premier League ratio than Long and is going to Brazil for the World Cup later in the summer but I take your point and would be delighted if he signed. But for me, I'd take Jellt 1st :DOriginally posted by maidstone_hoop View PostLong has done it in the premier and championship!!! Proven goalscorer!!

I would prefer him to any of the names that have been bandied about, the only player i would prefer over him would be defoe mate. Long would be an amazing signing for our team and our style of play, or lack of it should i say. Wont happen though, its too obvious/good.Originally posted by Greg1882 View PostTotally agree mate . Him and charlie would be a nightmare for defences

Lets face it either would be amazing. Not counting my chickens on either though. Hull reportedly as mad-keen on Long as ever. I know his goals ratio isn't that amazing but I love the way he never gives up on anything - like a classy Jamie Mackie. How many goals has he scored because he has bothered to chase back a seemingly safe back-pass and harassed the keeper or defender into a howler? Great one like that against Chelsea I think.
