Dr Jinx Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I used to loathe Shelvey, I mean everything about him.. but he did turn things around last season and was visibly putting in more of a shift, none of the previous managers (including Rafa) could get that out of him, but he’s obviously bought into what Howe is trying to do. But then on the flip side, why should a player be that difficult to motivate? I’ve never doubted his passing ability, it’s one of the best in the league, it was his overall contribution when we didn’t have the ball. Letting players just glide by and then getting sent off needlessly. I really thought he was done after that first game after the takeover. But he came back well and did his part for the team. Then in pre season he was looking in his best shape since signing for the club, it’s a shame really as we might have seen what he’s really capable of. Too soon to say he’s finished at the club but depending on who else comes in, it might be difficult for him getting back in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I would say a bit part rather than a big part for the remainder of this season. Shame for him, he's intimated how desperate he is to remain on the journey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomlynnherrington Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 For someone who’s never looked up to pace,why has he chosen to use a personal trainer now? I stand corrected if he’s always used a one since he signed for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recall similar interview/blurb in the past, maybe pre Bruce days? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Yeah, he was doing extra under Rafa as well. Funny that he seemed to take it easier under Bruce... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlynnherrington Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) It’s never showed in the past.If he is out for 12 weeks,I would imagine we’ve seen the last of him. Edited August 13, 2022 by tomlynnherrington Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I read Howe spoke about his contract at the press conference and it came across as quite cagey to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be over his injury but if he isn’t going to figure in Eddie’s long term plans,and I cannot see that happening,there’s no way he’ll play enough games to trigger a years extension to his current contract.If he returns in January he’ll have lost the extra fitness he’s gained by having a private trainer.

Hanshithispantz Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 He just said it's not for him to discuss basically Shelvey will get a contract extension one way or another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Admittedly, Dan Ashworth wasn't in back then, but I remember him discussing Longstaff's future much more vividly 6 months ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We were offering Longstaff a contract though. We're not offering Shelvey one (not yet anyway) as he has an automatic extension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Still can't believe the shape he managed to get himself in. He is so lean now. Crazy. Probably has helped with how quickly he has bounced back from that injury now too it seems. Good news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
