Shelvey also might be a little too motivated to play in front of Swansea's fans to prove a point. Could be a bit of a risk in terms of him having one of his moments again.
I think it's also something about our fans that he likes. He mentioned us as being similar to the fans at Liverpool.
I'm not sure if West Ham would hold the same charm for him. Depends how intolerable he finds the Ashley situation though I guess.
Yeah, he'll somehow have Rafa and Hatem Ben Arfa working at Shirebrook on zero hour contracts while Gerry and Director of Football Pards work out loan targets on YouTube with Dennis Wise.
Took his goal well yesterday I thought. Great composure to side-step Hart like that rather than try to blast it.
His earlier 'miss' was a difficult angle which Hart closed down well. I'd keep him, he's scored a few recently (including pre-season)
It's probably more a case of trusting Clark in the middle more than Mbemba. I rate Mbemba but Clark has been immense for us since he came here so I can understand Rafa's decision.
He reared his head before the match but has scurried off again now there's some positivity back. He only comes in to post when there is a shit storm happening, just to turn the screw for some reason.
He showed signs of his quality last season as well, he's got an eye for goal. Those players usually cost a lot more than £6m.
Yeah I liked him last season too but he often got a bit of a slagging on here I thought.
