I don’t really get the idea of replacing Shelvey with Gallagher on loan, surely they’re both totally different profiles of midfielders? 
 

Obviously trust Ashworth and Howe etc.


They might be different in styles, but look at it this way. Out of the two of them, which one fits better into Howe’s system?

Had a big hand in our turnaround last season and was one of the first to buy into Howe and his team, starting the revolution. I’ll always remember him fondly just for that alone.

Never really loved him. Pissed me off a lot more often than not, but perhaps I'm still thinking back with the shit stained Ashley goggles on. Wish him well, and hope we have a replacement lined up in the way of Maddison or Gallagher. (I also slagged Gallagher off big time when we played them at SJP, but he's way more dynamic than Shelvey which is what I expect us to be looking for.)

Good, don't like him and as others have said his attitude is shocking, was happy to coast along under shit managers when he was supposed to be one of our main men, he should have put the effort in then not just waiting until Eddie and to an extent Rafa turned up.

 

I don't even think his passing is that good and that is supposed to be his thing.

 

Taxi for shelvey 

 

Fuck me a little harsh ?

He had some nice runs with us, including under both Rafa and Eddie. But I love how ruthless we're being with players without a future here. Just need a replacement.

 

Started decent under Maclaren too.

He's had a bit of a roller-coaster of a career here, he's looked amazing in some games and lazy and disinterested in others. Talented but lacked application but he got his shit in a pile under Howe. Got no axe to grind as such but it's been a bit patchy. I'll wish him well but I'm far from devastated either. 

 

As long as he's replaced.

Slightly sad about this one tbh, I like Shelvey and was really curious to see what a leaner version was going to be like under Howe, it's a shame that we'll never get to see it, but onwards and upwards.

Unable to cope with da press! :troll:

I quite like him. He's been here exactly 7 years now, so a significant chunk of his career. Stayed with us in the Championship unlike Townsend (although may not have had a similar release clause), was a big part of that season and returning back to the PL immediately. Played over 200 games for us, and chipped in with some very important goals, most notably that winning goal against Leeds last January. 

 

I'll remember him well, and it is a little bit of a shame with all his 'we're going to be massive' 'want to be part of this' talk, but the injury clearly hasn't helped the situation from his perspective and we've probably moved on too quickly, and beyond him, and not worth triggering the clause if someone is happy to take him off our hands, and free us of those hefty wages. 

 

We can, and almost certainly will be upgraded, as will be the case for many players going forward, so the right time to go, but I'll certainly wish him well, and remember him in a good light.

Nearly 8 pages of comments and not one calling this out as rubbish from Edwards. Is it because it’s news you wanted to hear ?


point? He’s a dick
