This should be the only way he is used IMO, and not as a replacement for Sissoko unless Sissoko is moving in-field to play alongside Shelvey and Saivet.

Looks very comfortable shooting/crossing with both feet with no visible over-reliance on either side. Compilation on denniswise.com makes him look alright. Still skeptical about it personally, especially if it's for deluded Levy money.

I was wondering if this would be brought up. It was brought up plenty along with the 2 clear offside goals that were allowed to stand.

Oh Jonjo Shelvey You are the love of my life Oh jonjo shelvey nowhere near the wife oh number twelvy i want a shiny head toooooo

His playing style reminds me of Callum Wilson.

Never been a massive fan of Colo but this clearly isn't the case. When else has he performed as a captain and lifted the team leading by example? He did all his good work driving us forward with intelligent passing and even an attempt on goal. Really can't remember many, if any, times he's done that as captain.

This. The epitome of cowardice. Just think how we'd be sat here giving the lad credit had he actually taken a shot (and probably) scored. Thin lines. To be honest though, the fact that we've gone for two new midfielders, and the fact that he's been getting subbed off more and more often, I reckon SMC has identified that he's a weak link and will look to demote him to the bench. I just can't picture a world in which a coach can't see such a glaring hole in his team.

Except he's gash and not a very good crosser of the ball. Antonio Valencia did it for a while before being Fergie'd.

If he put in the effort and intelligence he did last night every game for us he would walk amongst legends at NUFC. Probably the only captain's performance we have seen from him in his entire time as the club's leader. Terrible shame that he's let his status slip the way he has. He's a very good footballer. Wish he had more heart and determination to better himself but he doesn't.

Hate this prick as well. Where they find these braindead morons to commentate on football is beyond me. Waddle was on earlier completely baffled by our decision to buy midfielders. Just pathetic.

Get fucked Dwight yorke you utter fucking bellend.

Dwight Yorke is a cunt of the highest order. Totally clueless and deluded.

Only a matter of time before Mike Dean makes it blatantly obvious who's side he's on.

Laughable decision.

Pleased with this.We finally have someone in midfield more useful than a fork in a soup.

It will actually. 3 more points on the league table

Too many people desperate to grasp anything that looks 'good' That's exactly the whole point of being a football fan ffs. It's not like it will make a difference if we all just went into a sulk over this transfer

13/64 for relevance

Well.... Perez Mitrovic Wijnaldum Shelvey Sissoko Saivet And we suddenly look a whole lot better (if the two new chaps work as intended).

You'd be the one feeling it mate

Our U-18 side as we suffered an apparently embarrassing exit from the FA Youth Cup at the hands of Wimbledon. Team: Woolston, Trodd (Kitchen 62), Adu-Peprah, Donaghey, Pollock, Lowrie, Charman (Gallacher 86), Longstaff, McNall, Heaney, C.Smith. Subs n/u: Harker, Broccoli, Spooner. Reading all that made me hungry tbh

This club is so fucking boring. Everything we do is so self-destructive that it's actually become a borefest. Giving the fans absolutely NOTHING to be happy about or proud of? Really? Not one fucking thing? A good manager? no, a good strong balanced squad? no, a director that has the first clue about football? no, decent sponsor? no, results? no, ambition to try to win as many matches regardless of competition? no. Get the fuck out of here. And we're still sat here supporting this hollow shell. Fuck off.
