mikejaxer Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) I'm gonna say it. I don't hate Shelvey and I think he gets way too much shit from fans. Edited February 21, 2022 by mikejaxer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 He’s been playing well recently and fair play to the guy for improving, but there is no logic in extending a contract that doesn’t expire until 2023 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 This happened the last time, had a run of a few decent games and was awarded with a new contract then before the ink was dry he was back to sub-standard performances. But that was Steve Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can barely last 90 minutes and he struggles to keep up with play. Somehow managed to avoid being sent off against Everton for a ridiculous foul committed because he was too slow. His legs’ll only be worse in 12 months’ time, never mind 24 or 36. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you must have a very short memory, because beyond the ~12 or so good games he's strung together under Howe, you probably would do well to count another 12 good ones at the top level since he signed in early 2016. He's contributing well at the moment but the unfit, slouching pointless-long-ping merchant who loves a lunge and a red card is still burnt into my memory. Now we have the ability to go and get someone who still ticks the box marked "range of passing" but who can also run, get about, tackle, win headers and score more regularly, he should be out of the team come the summer and hopefully sold soon after whilst his stock is still high. I think Howe's done well to bomb out some of the other knackers more urgently (Clark, Ritchie, Gayle in particular) but I'd like to think upgrading Shelvey is near the top of the list come the summer.

Holloway Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 A new deal seems a bit generous for the baldy Pirlo/ Butt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 He's not going to be starring too many leage games next season you'd hope. Keeping players like him and Schar will give decent squad depth and allow us to compete in Cup competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 People angry at Shelvey getting an extension? I don't really get it, so long as he is a squad player I am happy for him to still be around next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Hes been one of most consistent performers under Howe, personally I dont take into account in how he played under the fucking useless Bruce so for me hes well on his way to earning a new contract Edited February 21, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I don’t hate him getting an extension. That’s assuming we buy someone who can also play in that position. We need a proper holding player or one that can perform a similar role to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Hasn't he still got two years left? I'd hope in two years time (if we stay up) that we're at a level where he gets nowhere near the first XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 His contribution the other day wasn't that remarkable, there weren't many key incidents he came out on top of,and he didn't deliver much in forward passing. Once Bruno gets the shout,if he's as good as he looks there's no way back into that midfield 3,bar injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) As long as it's short term, it makes sense. We need a squad, if Longstaff and Hayden leave, we're down to the bare bones. Edited February 21, 2022 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 We need 6 central midfielders if we are to play 433. Joelinton Willock Bruno Shelvey X2 new signings Makes sense to me. Even with an oil well, we won't be signing 11 players. Besides which, we could still sell him if the correct fee comes in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chizzletooth Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Think some people are so scarred from the Ashley era that the concept of a "Squad" has been lost. Some of your non favourite players will be hanging around for a few windows yet, best make peace with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) Eh? We had to leave out a few players due to our squad being too big. We have so much dross on long deals already, man. Giving Dummett a new deal. Jesus. Edited February 21, 2022 by The Butcher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
