Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Happy if he stays until the summer, happier if he is replaced. Got zero complaints about Shelvey under Howe, unfortunate fitness aside.

 

Certainly others I would shift first but freeing up the wages and getting more for him now than the summer is probably enticing. Would prefer Ritchie, Lewis, Fraser, dummett and darlow move first.

I can't stand him, the occasional hit and hope long ball doesn't do it for me, there is a reason we ended up with him in the Ashley era, shit attitude, shit athlete, I will be glad to see the back of him if we can get rid.

If we can get a replacement in then let him go. Otherwise shouldn't even be entertained.

This. He’s our only backup midfielder of note. Happily upgrade him to someone as technical and more athletic though.

Random. If we can for sure get a replacement, an upgrade ideally, then let him go. But given how short we are in midfield at the minute I can't see that happening this late in the window.


He gets a new contract if he plays two more games, so I’d rather play Karl Darlow central midfield

Even if he's fit, he's completely gone as a footballer at this level. Great vision and passing but he just can't run anymore.

 

If forest offer us any decent fee, we let him go and save on a shit ton of wages. Patch the position up with a loan until May.

Wouldn’t be upset if he left. Feel sorry for him because he put a lot of effort in to sort himself out pre season; he obviously loves working under Howe and has said how much he loves the city. However, moving forward we need to be upgrading the likes of Shelvey whose best days are behind him.
