Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

It's pretty much just Newcastle that has been stuck in 2008 when it comes to transfer fees, £12m is nowt these days. We must be the only PL side that hasn't broke our record transfer fee since Ashley came in?

Absolutely, its not an outrageous fee at all these days.

 

Mind to be fair its much easier to break your transfer record if you're a club like Bournemouth or West Brom, who no doubt still haven't come close to spending more on one player than we did in 1996 :lol:

There's a highlights video from this season on Youtube that looks quite encouraging. Always has his head up when he's on the ball and his first thought is always to carry the ball forward or ping it out to the wide players or hit the striker. Think he will do well for us.

 

Not sure how to embed vines, but I think this is exactly the sort of defensive performance we need from a midfielder.

Very Giggs that like.  He has been shit and lazy in general for Swansea for a while now, ever since he decided he didn't want to be there.  Still I think that was the 93rd minute of the first game he'd played in a while so likely knackered.

12m is probably more than he's worth but who else is available and would come? If you look throughout the midfielders with premier league experience who would dramatically improve us they are few and far between. Jordy Clasie was 8m and I don't think hes played a game. Wasnt Joe Allen 20m? James Mcarther, Charlie Adam, I'm sure there are a few going for fees that hardly make this one outrageous.

Jack Colback can be seen running around, yet having absolutely no impact on anything.

 

Aye. Alibi running.

 

I like that expression.

Our fans are absoluetly gutted.

 

Here's a few comments from our board http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/swanseacity/forum/

 

 

"Currently having his medical, let's hope he passes!"

 

"Fingers crossed. I hope they dont do a brain cell count. As long as you dont need double figure we'll be in with a shot."

 

"I'm actually massively cheered by this news. Things need to change.Looks like they are."

 

"Start the car...I'll drive him there for that

5 year contract according to the Daily Mail.

Shelvey could yet help keep us up if we reinvest wisely."

 

"Can I pay for your petrol?"

 

 

 

We'll miss him honestly.

 

I'm sure he'll be a big part in your staying up this year, after time he'll change though.

What a player, just ready to pounce on anything that comes loose, to the untrained eye it looks lazy but I would compare his actions to that of a Praying Mantis

I cannot stop watching that video, man. What the fuck is he actually doing? Is there some context to it that I'm missing?

 

Is that Colback and Anita entering the frame to the left?

He's waiting for the ball to come loose, but it doesn't so he just ends up in no mans land looking daft as fuck :lol:

The ref is definitely moving at Colback tempo there.

First time I saw that I thought it wasn't that bad until the second player has the ball. At that point it's ridiculous, how would the ball run loose when there's absolutely no one near to him as well. :lol: Can't wait to hate him.

I think the context is that he's obviously had a fall out with some people at the club and he couldn't be arsed any more. Which obviously doesn't excuse him doing that, but I would hope he doesn't do that on a regular basis.

He is clearly trying to lift his teammates with a bit of humour. He's doing that thing where you put your hands over your knees and cross them over thereby looking knock kneed.  Well done I say if we had more players prepared to indulge in a bit of impromptu street humour the game would be much better. 

 

Tiote is underrated, when he plays the game of having the ball at his feet and you have to guess which of 3 potential opposition players he's going to pass to all he gets are groans.
