SEMTEX Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Handful of comments from a Swansea forum Spineless, gutless, and an embarrassment to the shirt with his lack of effort. Just hope we can get a decent wedge for him due to his England credentials, as on current form we'd have to pay another team to take him off our hands. his glaringly lazy attitude is hardly going to endear him to potential suitors IMO, Shelvey has peaked. He has been playing first team football since he was 16 for good clubs with good coaches. He hasn't dogged around the lower leagues. He has a lot of experience in terms of years and games played at the top level. There should be a degree of maturity, presence, composure, "savoir faire" about his game that just isn't there .... I'm not talking about the consistency or inconsistency with which he actually kicks the ball, but everything else for me he was a disgrace. He is overweight, unfit, and doesn't give a toss. That maybe the last time we see him in a Swans shirt. Played well below his standards and made a fool of himself after the game. Anyboby that thinks we'll get anything upwards of 6 million are barking imo. This was posted too https://vine.co/v/iMmm62Unxp9 All of this shit is probably true. He's probably utter shit. I personally don't really know. What I do know, is that he isn't Jack fucking Colback, so I'd rather give him a try, hope he's not shit, and then 2 months down the line, start hating him too.

The College Dropout Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nervous about this. Not the right character for our team Barton wasn't, but he could get his team mates tails up. That's what we're missing. Somebody that can pump up those around him. He'll either do that or have a scrap with Mitro. But it seems like Jonjo is the opposite. The "don't give a fuck" lazy git type. WTF is he doing in that clip? Nervous about this. Not the right character for our team Because the team is full of character. The team has no character so why add another player without it?

That looks more like a guy who wants to get out tbh. It's not the right way to go about it, but he can have a positive effect on the game when he wants too. Be interesting to see the Swansea fans reactions when he did give a shit for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly doesn't lack character. He's lost his way a bit, but that's easy to understand. In that clip (or so am told) it was the end of the game and he hadn't played much recently, I guess he's a bit tired plus protecting himself so he can move.

quayside Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I can think of at least 4 positions i'd strengthen before buying another striker tbh, i know its tempting to think we are not scoring at all so lets buy another striker and ignore everything else. But there is a structural issue with the team, there is no creativity, no energy, no defensive nous, no width, no pace and no aerial prowess. If you fixed even half of those problems then i bet the goals would come with the current crop, unfortunately none of this is going to happen. Don't disagree with your structural point. But imo if we had a proper goal scorer up front such as Ba (as he was) or Remy the whole thing racks up a notch. So chances become goals and half chances become chances - if you see what I mean Cisse's goals arguably kept us up last season. Similar to what you're saying I guess. Yup although I just don't see Papiss as a reliable goal scorer these days nor do I think you can build a game plan around him. He's a wild card to be played off the bench who "might" nick you a goal when you don't expect it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmymag Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 If we're looking at Shelvey to seamlessly slip into our midfield, and become the playmaker we desperately need, then we are fucked! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Stinks of us trying to capitalise and get a deal, Carr probably knows his agent or something. Still he's not Colback etc. (But will probably be playing with him to form a dynamite all inglish midfield partnership ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Have a funny feeling they'll be itching to get this through before Tuesday too so they can reveal him before our game and placate some of the day-trippers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
