Yorkie Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I don't think Shelvey is that special but he actually has some attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Shelvey would be a perfect fix for our midfield, tenacious player who has bags of vision and a great pass, add to that his height and aerial prowess the fact that we only have midgets in midfield he would walk it... PROBLEM: We forget that english players know exactly what our club is; a complete chaos! This is dreamland, unless there is a fallout or something going on with him at Swansea... NO CHANCE!

TRon Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I don't think Shelvey is that special but he actually has some attributes. Running box to box, scoring goals and tackling for a start. Not the worst attributes to have for a midfielder, especially in a team like ours where the midfielders all want to be #10's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Don't think he'll come here, unless he finds a personal chef to attend to his every whim similar to Jermain Defoe's PA/mam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Don't think he'll come here, unless he finds a personal chef to attend to his every whim similar to Jermain Defoe's PA/mam. Funny you should say that, I seen an interview of his on football focus a while back and if I remember correctly he said his girlfriend always complains that he has the most boring taste in food known to man. Apparently all he will eat is chicken, bread and pasta and his favourite cheat meal was chicken nuggets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 He is a total pikey like, I wouldn't expect him to be a connoisseur in foreign delicacies or anything which baffles me as to why he needs a personal chef when he can get a rustlers burger for 50p when on special at the corner shop.

Teasy Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Ignoring how much of a twat Shelvey seems is he really quality? He's looked good against us, but his end product looks pretty shite. I mean Colback has as many goals and assists in the last two seasons (over exactly the same number of matches). He certainly has more to his game than Colback, but being better than Colback and being a quality player aren't necessarily the same thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colback chugs along as well at about half the pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

olliemort Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Would be a massive upgrade on what we have currently. A good player for what we are aiming for...17th place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Isn't Shelvey starting at Swansea? Where has this talk come from. I like him, but don't think he'd do well here. Doesn't seem a strong character at all. Can imagine him struggling as we are crap, and he would be getting sent off every other game, and when he's actually on the pitch, he'd be punting it long all the time, because we have zero movement. We'd all grow to hate him immensely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Would probably take Shelvey providing he was signed to replace Colback and not to partner him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 As much as I think he's a very talented young player I'd worry about his attitude being at our club with all the s*** that goes on. Also I'd be mindful we don't have any wingers - with the exception of Aarons who is constantly 'injured' and Thauvin who looks utter garbage so far - and our 2 best CM's on paper (Gini and Sissoko) are playing out wide. I really do think our priority has to be on a proven PL winger and a CB going into the window. Townsend would be a good buy for us I reckon tbh. Obviously other areas are in need of improvement, we seriously need a proper LB and a DM as well but I can't really see Ashley sanctioning 4 signings made to seriously improve us in the Janurary window, even if Sissoko is f***ed off.

Jesse Pinkman Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 People seem to forget he is still only 23 and has a couple of years until a player of his position traditionally hit their peak. I think he would be a good signing and he'd be ahead of Colback all day long. A Shelvey, Colback midfield would be awful though so would need to be Colbacks replacement. Doubt he would come here either way . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Doubt he would come here either way . Especially as we would have no interest in paying the sort of money he would cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Shelvey passes the ball forward consistently. And can jump. Those are two things none of our central midfielders do. He'll be a superb signing for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 WBA are asking what 25m for Berahino, Swansea would be wanting at least the same for Shelvey I'd imagine. Joe fucking Allen cost 15m from Swansea ffs. We're not signing Shelvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Shelvey is the exact sort of player we should be signing, but if he wanted to move he could do better than here and not a hope they'd pay the asking price anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Jonjo Shelvey is a very good player and I wish we'd gone in for him when he left the bin dippers. Would significantly improve us in an instant if he joined. Not going to happen obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
