Mario Jelavić

So,
it seems that he has signed for City.
My girlfriend lives in Split, Croatia. Yesterday she was out with some friends, and one of them works at the same school as Mario's mum, and his mum said he has signed the deal.

bring it on.

Didn't really get to see much of him so far in pre-season. I thought there was another mention of him in a diff thread, saying that he is known as a quality dribbler and such at his old club. How old is he again? I never mind taking a punt on youth, I wonder if we'll sign him and send him out on loan, and what this means about our intentions with guidetti?

[Duckman]

he is 18 me thinks. 20.08.1993.

[Moonchesteri]

Did we pay a fee for him?

[Duckman]

not sure about the fee, someone somewhere mentioned 200.000 euros.
Also, Hajduk Split is in financial troubles, they owe transfer money to some other Croatian club. Mayor of Split Zeljko Kerum promised to help the club pay the debt but nothing happened just yet.

This is remarkable if true imo.

In the fact that he must be quality if Bob & Co have agreed to sign him, but he looked beyond shite in the pre season games. They must have taken nerves etc into consideration & gone on his training performances because on the strength of those games, they may as well have signed me.

[Duckman]

Im not sure about the kid. He didnt even have too many games for Hajduk.
