Obviously trust Ashworth and Howe etc. Longstaff can play number 6. Or we could switch to a 4231 and play double pivot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Absolutely fine with moving Shelvey on on the proviso that we bring in his replacement before the deadline. Him out and no-one in weakens us and is asking for trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I had more than my fair share of gripes against him, primarily when he clearly couldn't give a fuck under Bruce. But that just showed me he's motivation-driven; if you've got a shit manager you're getting a shit player. Best of luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I've never taken to him. Redeems himself every new manager, then reverts back to type. Injury this time stopped him under Howe, so at least he ends it here in the form. Still think we should have sold him after the Saiss run in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Love this ‘Howe desperate not to lose the player’ angle, same with Wood. I’m sure Eddie doesn’t mind at all when players that are twice as good as the previous ones land in his lap. Dare to dream that we’re close to getting a midfielder?

SUPERTOON Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Shelvey being 2 games away from triggering a new deal will be key to this getting done imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously trust Ashworth and Howe etc. Think that's kind of the point to be honest, our squad has moved on from Shelvey being the deep quarter back role that he used to play, especially given Schar and Botman can play them same sort of balls with equal success. Shelvey's biggest limitation is that he's not the most athletic, and can't really press in the way we'd need him too, which is really important in the way we play under Howe. He's also been injured all season, so not only are you removing him and his wages, you're also not really losing anything in an active player, and allowing yourself to reuse them funds. Now if we get say Gallagher, you get a Longstaff replacement, who can do everything he can do defensively, but with better distribution, passing and shoot ability. Think it's a really smart piece of business tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 With Botman and Schar, we no longer require an unathletic player who simply sits on front of the back four and sprays passes about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
