Mick Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 If we do get Shelvey we'll get a player who will come here and will raise his game for a while and will then virtually disappear as he'll lose his motivation over time and McClaren is unlikely to get it back.

MidfieldGeneral Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 After watching a 5 minute video on YouTube of him from Swansea first few games this season I have to say he will certainly offer us far more than any of the current 3 we have playing centrally even if he is a lazy fooker. His passing range, short, long, through balls, balls over the top, etc in that video alone is something that no one else who plays for us is capable of. Personally hope we sign him.

Astroblack Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Anytime I've seen him, he looks to make a forward pass. Even a few weeks ago when he came on as a sub, he looked to play the ball forward. That is a huge improvement on what we've got so I hope this comes off.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 People seemingly genuinely believing this would be the end of Colback! At the very best we'll see him shoved to left-back or something but he'll never be dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a huge improvement on what we've got so I hope this comes off. Watching MOTD now and he was bollocking a teammate for not playing a forward pass. Came close to scoring from a free kick as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I hope we get him tbh, he's not a world beater but as mentioned can pass a ball in the general right direction and is a decent player imo. Not a leader though, and we're devoid of them, and the problems upfront remain even if he does come to Newcastle. Desperate for that striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash 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. It'll placate some of the morons with season tickets too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He can't get a game for one of our relegation rivals. Hardly a good sign, is it? 'Better than what we've got' is supposed to make me feel all grateful. Why can't we sign someone on the up? Someone in form, that our rivals would want, or wouldn't want to sell? Or even more controversially, someone better than us might want? Fucking pathetic how we just accept our place as small time cunts that can't compete.

SEMTEX Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I mean, we are small time cunts that won't compete. Let's embrace it. Just enjoy what we are. Useless filler cunts. Being allowed to play against the big boys each week should be prize enough for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 And if it's a question of his attitude rather than ability or form, that's even worse considering the shower of heartless wanks that currently take the field in an NUFC shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Playing devil's advocate, we signed a few players supposedly on the up in the summer. Trying to bring in some Premier league experience is kind of understandable, even if it does come in the form of an inconsistent, hairless demon.

midds Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Am I right in thinking Shelvey would be the first player bought from the PL since Obertan? If it happens obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidfieldGeneral Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 But is he out of the starting 11 for form reasons or attitude? Berahino is, supposedly, worth around £20m and is starting for another relegation rival about as much as Shelvey is for Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He could be immense for us. Like a petulant,lazy version of Cabaye. If he's as forward thinking as people are saying, and that's what I've seen of him, I sincerely hope they're signing Saivet or whoever to play with him or we'll still be stuck with the space being covered by fucking Colback.
