Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Very pleased he's gone.

 

Nowhere near good enough or suitable for where we're aiming.

 

Had he stayed, we'd have been stuck with him until the end of 2024 and the odd brain fart he'd threaten to throw in when coming off the bench.

I'm glad he's gone.

 

He's injured beyond repair, been playing since 16 years old at a decent level but never reached his potential due to him being a numpty. He's ravaged with injuries due to his early start and bad luck. Hedcould have been brilliant with better luck but he'd always be let down by his arrogance.

 

He's an incredibly selfish footballer, he's happy to concede posession on a risky through ball because he thinks he's a maverick. No it actually means the rest of the team has to work hard to get the ball back while he watches.

Just to qualify I don't mean an odd through ball which is fine, this lad tried like 10 against Palace in the league cup and none of them worked. Thankfully we won on pens, due entirely to Pope.

Genuinely think we should pull the plug on this deal if we can’t get a cm replacement in. 
 

We’re an injury away from a infamous Schar cdm game. 

I reckon Botman would be a good cdm. Great passer of the ball ;)

Deadline day sends people proper loopy.

Is it so mental to consider we don’t really have a natural cm who sits in? 
 

Bruno is playing that role but it isn’t his best position. Joelinton can cover but usually sits on the left side of a 3 if he drops to midfield. Both Longstaff/Willock are better in transition and breaking forward.
 

It’s not so mental to see we’re exposed with an injury? Surely? Unless I’m over worrying about this.

I think its clear that apart from an injury crisis, Shelvey wasn't gonna be used this season, and activate the auto-extenion to his contract, but the 'surprise' from the club (mentioned by EH) was probably that they didn't think anyone would come in for him, and he'd just run his contract down and leave for nothing in the summer anyway. So any 'nominal' fee is a bonus, as well as getting his wages off the bill.
