Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Çaykur Rizespor, on loan from Nottingham Forest)


Recommended Posts

I'm actually pretty sure McLaren is going to drop Colback. Blind optimism I guess.

 

          Saivet Shelvey

Sissoko Wijnaldum Ayoze

              Mitrovic

 

Not that its a huge problem, but I'd love another new option other than Perez for wide left, hes been awful lately, offering very little.

This. Not sure why we always want to shoe horn him into a role. i like Perez, but in order to start he's got to be the option for the position, he's not our best wide left midfielder, I'm sorry. He's a support striker, but we only play with one up front so where exactly does  he fit in ?

This is the issue we have at the moment, its becoming clear that our best no10 option is Wijnaldum but we have far too many people in the squad to play in that role and no actual natural wide players.

 

Think Perez should be used as impact sub for a while and show something if he wants his place back in the side.

 

Now starting to think a wide left player with a raking delivery might be a very important signing.

He's a perfect 10, but he wears a 12

There ain't a hair on his head

And our number 4

Was just so poor

We went and bought Shelvey instead

 

:lol:

 

Cause we've bought some shite in different windows.

I really hate Colback, the most of all.

Time takes it's toll, right on my eyes.

Promise me this, drop him tonigghhhht.

 

:lol: :lol:

Dont need the hair of number 2 to see

That 8 or 9, he'd find them in the Tyne

He's like a bauble on a Xmas tree

 

Cos we like our buys, in different guises

They're never french, except all the time

We're in a hole, and surrounded by lies

Atleast I know this, I'm not Mike Ashley's sizeee

 

It's a work in progress  :lol:

I never understand why people care about the price of players so much. Granted, if we came out and said "£12m is our budget for this season" and that's what he cost, I can see people question it, but as it stands the transfer fee has zero to do with our concerns.

 

He could cost £40m as far as I care, as long as we still get the striker and left back we need.

The 1-11 numbering debate, has been done about 30,000 times on here.  But just to let you know, your numbering system and team selection is abhorrent.

Not this debate again.

Value for money - obviously.

Rob Elliot feels that Newcastle United have landed an “absolute steal” after snapping up Jonjo Shelvey for £12million from Swansea City.

 

The United goalkeeper, who is emerging as a player of the season candidate this term, has revealed that Shelvey turned down the chance to play for TWO clubs in the south to help Newcastle fend off the threat of relegation.

 

Alan Pardew’s Crystal Palace were understood to be keen on Shelvey, but Elliot says the England midfielder was keen to sign for the Magpies.

 

Elliot, a close pal of Shelvey from their days at Charlton together, told the Chronicle: “I told him what it was like here, but he wanted to come here anyway because he wanted to come to the biggest club.

 

“I think that says it all, who we are as well. The fans are going to love seeing him play.

 

“I can’t believe we signed him for the money we have paid. He could prove to be an absolute steal and he could be a legend here.

 

“He is just 23-years-old and has his best years in front of him.”

 

Shelvey will hope to follow in the footsteps of Londoners like Rob Lee and Les Ferdinand. Both are still much-loved figures on Tyneside who defy the myth that Geordie fans don’t take to southern players.

 

Elliot offered more insight on Shelvey’s big money move and said: “He turned down a couple of clubs where he could have lived at home.

 

“So that shows what he thinks of Newcastle as a club and what he thinks of the stadium. He said to me he thought Newcastle was a big club.

 

“No matter what the outside world thinks of Newcastle you should come here and see the passion of 50,000.

 

“He watched his first game from the stands against Man United. Why wouldn’t you want to play for Newcastle?

 

“So hopefully, it will be great for everybody moving forward.”

 

Shelvey is set to make his debut for Newcastle against West Ham on Saturday with Elliot expecting him to bring plenty to the United XI.

 

Elliot said: “We have Jonjo coming into to add quality to midfield. We can only expect good things. He’s class.

 

“To put it into perspective he came into our team at 16-years-old at Charlton, and you’d have thought he was 28. I am so excited he’s signed. He’s not only a great lad but he’s a winner.

 

“OK, he might go over the top a little bit but that’s what the fans love. He just wants to play. He had a lot of options to go to clubs.”

 

And when asked what Newcastle fans could expect, Elliot said: “Jonjo wears his heart on his sleeve and is a proper Essex boy.

 

“He has a pure desire to play football and doesn’t care about anything else. So he will fit in really well up here, the fans will love him.

 

“The only thing I’d say is that he’s still 23 so it could be a bit of patience with him.

 

“All players need time. Hopefully, he settles in straight away. He’s a top man.”
