You might be right but you can’t really judge him off the back of one game after a long injury lay off. Wilson, Isak, Maxi etc all got a much longer grace period from folks on here.

Tsunami Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 If we allow Shelvey to go we must get a replacement in. We’re not exactly blessed with any depth in central midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 He's played 34 minutes. We're losing nothing by selling him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Bit gutted for jonjo but we have to take this deal if we can get another CM/DM replacement in. Could be a game changer. If we can't get someone in I would rather we keep him til the summer for depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 He's had his moments but getting some cash for him this month - plus his big salary off the books - would be a very nice bonus all told. He would inevitably have secured himself another contract as there'll be plenty of games to choose from when he returns from injury. I'd take our chances even without a replacement tbh. We've not missed him that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was due to be back from injury and you’d have assumed he would have got minutes, it absolutely does weaken us going forward to not replace in an already thin midfield Edited January 29, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I think he's really bought into what Howe is doing and I've generally been pleased with his contribution so I'd be sad to see him go and it would leave us dangerously short in midfield. However if he's replaced this window with someone like Maddison, I'll come help him pack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and have said as much last week. My point was that he’s not “completely done at this level”. There is a PL after him as it turns out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Puke's article FWIW: Nottingham Forest are on the verge of signing Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey before the transfer window closes on Tuesday. Newcastle are currently making a series of checks with both foreign and Premier League clubs to ascertain whether they are able to sign a central midfielder on loan before the window closes. Telegraph Sport understands that Shelvey is keen to make the switch and is close to a return to full fitness after a calf injury. The 30-year-old is one of Newcastle’s longest serving players having signed from Swansea City back in back in 2016, but he is no longer first-choice and will be used as cover for Bruno Guimaraes if he remains on Tyneside. Shelvey also missed a large chunk of the campaign with a hamstring injury, limiting him to just five appearances and a solitary start against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup. But Forest have identified the former Liverpool star as the midfield playmaker to help them stay in the Premier League. More to follow . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I’ll miss him honestly, felt like that injury came at the worst possible time for him. Wish him all the best, he’s has some shocking games in a Newcastle shirt, but he’s also had some absolutely class moments as well. Seemed like he really loved the NE area as well.

ponsaelius Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Although he only has 6 months left it is basically 18 as we effectively have an option to extend it if we played him twice more. Considering that I would expect some kind of fee. It would be a good move for him too if he gets a 2.5+ year deal out of it considering he's only guaranteed another 18 months here.
