Jelavic bids Blues a fond farewell

Very sad to see you go.

Always felt like we would score when you played and you can be assured of a very warm welcome whenever we meet again!

Saw you score that goal against Spurs in a bar in Krakow and it made my weekend. Great memories of you and would love to think you'll be an Evertonian, whoever you play for.

Hope he regains his scoring touch and I hope he has the luck that deserted him at Everton.

Good luck Jela

Most of us willed him on and liked him. We felt we had missed with him sometimes.

He will be looking sadly over shoulder as we progress..........but hope he sees a club that loved him in the short time he was with us.

Wish well and a great World Cup.

We can then say "We did that"!

Always gave 100% just a pity the goals dried up.

Hull will have a quality strike force if they sign Long as well.

Just hope we can do the same and get a proper replacement; thank god the Jones bid rumour seems to've quietened down.

I Don't see any bad posts regarding Jelly on here. Good luck, Jelly... Well in, lad.

Good luck in the future; I hope your replacement gives us as much commitment as you did.

Now where's the new boy.....?

I am personally sorry to see Jela go. Just lost form. Another striker ruined by Moyes? I'm sure that he will come good again. Remember "form is temporary, class is permanent"

You are class Nicika, best of luck.

On a sort of side note, is it just me who finds it annoying when a player doesn't celebrate scoring against his old club?

He's class in his departure but my original quip was with reference to his comments about having the full support of all Evertonians... he obviously didn't read this website!

And yes I am a comedian and, for the record, I thought it was mildly funny — unlike my name-sake...!!!

Hvala vam I sretno to you too.

James is right, there were several 'good riddance' and similar comments. Meanspirited in my view. He seems a good bloke who appreciated the support he got, and gave his all. Respect.

His form was poor for quite a while and the fee we have received is much more than any of us would have expected.

BUT.......I can't help feeling we should have hung on to him. He hasn't really played since we hit form and I would have liked to see him given a run in the side whilst things are going well.

Anyway he's gone now so I wish him all the best. Always thought he was a very likeable person.

Even though I've never actually met him.

Sadly, those predictions were wrong and he never recreated the scoring prowess we so admired during his first half-season. The goals dried up and any "coating" he may have been given on here subsequently was fully justified on that basis alone. He was bought in as a striker to score goals. He ultimately failed in that task; Martinez (no doubt reluctantly) recognized the reality of the situation... and he's been sold for a flattering price that is frankly bordering on the ridiculous.

Criticism of players who are not performing is surely a right of fans, yet we always get this moaning that people are being harsh with what are, for the most part, pretty accurate assessments.

Despite all that, his parting message is one of the nicest I've seen from a player leaving Everton. I'd like to wish him success — especially when playing against our rivals near top — just not against us, please!!!

Niki scored 1 in 4, Shane Long scored 1 in 4 and went for the same money, Anichebe has scored about 1 in 6 and went for £6M. Kenwyne Jones has scored about 1 in 6 and has gone for a lot more than any of those.

Strikers don't come cheap, even really shit ones like Anichebe.

Thanks and good luck to him.

Good luck Jela. Class act.

ToffeeWeb is your baby I get it and for the record I love this site. I wake up everyday and check BBC gossip (even mid Oct or the day after transfer window shuts as if it matters!!) And then I check here and then I can "attack the day!".

To suggest my comment was a blanket statement regarding ALL contributors to ToffeeWeb is a poorly researched argument.

I made a passing joke that Jella had left thanking the unwavering support from Everton and that he mustn't have read this... OUR... website often as the lad had his doubters on here or in the pub or at the bus stop... it wasn't an attack on your "baby"...

I loved the lad, love Everton, love ToffeeWeb and wish the lad all the best... just think your juvenile defamation of my quip (lasting multiple paragraphs) isn't necessary!!

Just sayin'...

Michael, I love you and your website loads! It helps me thru the day...seriously!

Apologies for causing offence. ..Keep up the good work brother!

THANKS, JELA!!!

Left with class and dignity.

All the best.

I really hope he finds his feet at Hull and enjoys nothing but success. He will get a warm GP welcome when he returns (unless he scores of course!).

It says so much about our great club that when many players have passed on and their careers are over, the club most remember is EFC (except for Linekar, who always refers to Spurs but you can't win them all!).

Thanks Jela and the very best of luck.

"Nice touch Jela"

Bet you didn't say that too often in the last 18 months!!

"Watch the fucking line you daft twat.....fucking offside again!!!!"

I felt he tried his level best and although he has obviously come up short, I often wondered if he had that split second of patience to stay onside a bit more, how much more of a contribution he might have made.

He goes with my best wishes and with genuine hope in my heart he does well.

Do wish him the best, think he has some confidence back after QPR. Go forth and knock off some of our competitors!
