Unbelievable Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Nah, Douglas is probably the Brazilian from Dnjepr Djnepropetrovsk that AS Roma are after too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Shelvey won't come here. We won't pay the wages and he will have better suitors, if Swansea are seeking to get rid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Shelvey would be a superb signing..... very unlike NUFC. You reckon? I think he'd be a disaster. Too one paced for our team. Suites Swansea's pass and move. He'd be forced to go sideways and backwards with this squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I would approve, add some range and creativity to our passing, even if he is an occasional liability Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suites Swansea's pass and move. He'd be forced to go sideways and backwards with this squad. I think he'd make enough of a difference. He's got the potential to take a game by the scruff of the neck, and some real nous. You don't need amazing to stay up, you just need to improve on the glaring weaknesses in the middle (defence and midfield). I think the three players suggested would be enough to keep you up, as long as Douglas hits the ground running. Townsend is brainless, but capable of being very dangerous against lesser sides. I rather rate Shelvey. I still think that it's Villa and Sunderland down, then a big scrap to avoid that third relegation place, and you just need to get on a little roll (another couple of wins in a row, say). I think you're capable of doing that with three new first-teamers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Sunderland are nowhere near down, these fuckers have a habit of coming back from the brink, only Villa are pretty much gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I like him as player as I admire players with a true eye for a defence splitting pass. I just don't think he'd fit in our team. We need power/pace in CM (and CD). JJS isn't athletic enough without the ball which he'd have to get used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 And a certain ex Chelsea left back on loan Can't see is going for Cole like. That's just what I've been told He's been a free agent since August I think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Would be delighted with Shelvey tbh. Townsend on loan I could live with, not convinced he is a huge upgrade but happy to be proved wrong, likewise happy we could send him back if he doesn't work out for us. Not getting a LB and CB is suicide. Quite frankly a Striker too. We are up shit creek right now and I don't see our current lot picking up enough points to do anything more than scrap to avoid relegation if they can.

Dr Venkman Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Shelvey would be a big improvement on what we've got. His first touch usually takes him forwards, he's an attack minded player, which we really need in the middle. Also scores a few, I think he'd be a good signing. Why is he leaving Swansea?

Andy84 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I've always thought that signing Shelvey would be highly unlikely, verging on zero chance. We'll have a price, won't budge or show any flexibility and he'll go somewhere else as he won't be short of suitors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
