We're already short in midfield, it'd be an odd time to get rid.

Open up a squad space, clear 70k a week in wages, replace him. Bosh

Staggered if he gets the starts required to see him get a contract extension. We’re surely going our separate ways in the summer.

Isn’t it 2 more starts ? Once fit I can definitely see him getting 2 starts considering how light we are in midfield.

Start one of the bairns and sub Shelvey on for them after 30 seconds.

According to Express he is about to sign for Besiktas.

Would deffo mean we are getting a quality midfielder in if this happens

Between him and Wood you’re talking £150k worth of wages a week being shifted. Lump Fraser and others in and we’re creating tidy headroom for a couple of sound players coming in.

Doesn’t Shelvey himself earn over £100k per week now as his wages had to go up when we bought new players due to a clause saying he had to match the highest earner?

 

No. His wages went down we he extended his contract.

Fingers crossed.

I actually quite like Shelvey, but if we can get him off the physio table and off the wage bill, and replace him with someone more dependable it’s a no-brainer.


I don’t think he has the physical attributes to play in Eddie’s system. Yes, he can play a nice diagonal or through all, but we need more from our holding midfielder.

He did pretty well for Howe second half of last season. I think he’d have featured quite a bit and got that extension easily if he didn’t get his injury. Saying that, if someone is willing to buy him now we should move on obviously.

It would be great if we could shift him.

 

It says a lot about where we are now that we've not missed him at all.

 

I agree - if we can get the reported £3m plus his wages off the books then should give us a bit of a boost for this month or summer dealings. He looked like he was going to contribute this season until the injuries, but despite focusing on his nutrition and fitness it is probably came a bit too late in his career and you'd imagine would only get worse the older he gets.
