Season › 2011-12 › News Weir: Jelavić has a bit of everything Lyndon Lloyd , 1 February, 22comments | Jump to most recent Ex-Rangers defender and former Blues stalwart, David Weir, believes that Nikica Jelavić will have no problems fitting in at Everton or succeeding in the Premier League. Weir knows the Croatian striker's strengths first hand and he says that his experience in Scotland has allowed him to adapt to the British style and, as such, is the ideal preparation for England. "He will do very well," Weir told evertonfc.com. "He's a top player who is obviously a Croatian international and he is on his way up in his career. He went from Austria to Scotland and did well in both places. This is another chance for him and I think he will fit in fine. "He is a very good player. He has got a bit of everything to be honest. He can hold it up, he can link up, he will score goals in the six yard box but he can score spectacular goals as well. He has got a little bit of everything in my opinion. "There is not one attribute that stands out but he can score a header, he can score a free-kick, he can score a tap-in — he has got a lot of things in his locker." Jelavić signed a four-and-a-half year contract with Everton last night to complete a £5.5m move from Glasgow. He will wear the No 7 jersey vacated by Diniyar Bilyaletdinov.
