Nucasol Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Just now, STM said: They will do their utmost to replace him but ultimately this was a deal they had to do. They didn't want Shelvey triggering an extension. This. Great opportunity for Shelvey to get extended ‘Shelv life’ in the Premier League, great chance for us to clear the books of the fringe players who will become surplus to requirements on our accelerated trajectory. The risk of him triggering that extension and another £70k a week contract, at a time we need capacity in wages:turnover, is too great. Ritchie, Lascelles, Fraser, Lewis, Manquillo, Krafth, Gillespie, Darlow - all “has been” or “never will be” players now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Ah, it was a horribly timed injury in the end. Wish him all the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Meh good luck to him. He should have had a much better career than he had. Never reached his full potential imo. Had all the talent, but not the fitness/desire to full it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Keep seeing a fee of £10 million mentioned, but no source. If it's anywhere near that it was a deal they simply had to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Don’t know why but I have a soft spot for Jonjo, real shame about the injury timing as he was doing ok, but now it’s definitely time to move him on and get some fresh blood if we can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Oh god it is a good day, its a lords day. What a sale no matter the price. His wages off and not needing to get angry seeing him pensioner walk behind play is going to be fantastic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I know there's a concern it might leave us short if we don't replace him, but we might have to accept that while we're transitioning we might see more of these sorts of sale when an offer comes in. I'm not even worried about that either given he's played about half an hour all season. Might just mean Anderson hangs around until the summer and gets a loan next season instead.

Gazzaschicken Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 He's had quite a lot of stick from our fan base but he's been a good servant to the club and I quite like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe regardless if we're left short, should the opportunity arrive to move on players who in all probability won't get a game and are of a certain period in their career then take that option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myleftboot Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I heard from a former NUFC player a couple of years ago that Shelvey would have been a world beater but he loves his beer too much. Cans every night apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBC Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Goes against most on here, but I felt since the takeover he improved massively in fitness and defensive workrate. Started this season in decent shape, and wouldn't have been surprised if he was the next big turnaround under Howe, then a horribly timed injury.

A lot of money out the other way. If we've even got £20m combined from Forest for Wood & Shelvey it's something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Pretty chuffed with this, like. Never warmed to him at all and it’s another symbol of the previous regime vanquished. Onwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many below par performances and moments of petulance for me. I don’t dislike him by any stretch but he could’ve done so much more here had he applied himself consistently.

Still want a replacement though and don't think k they'd have let him go without one being a good possibility.
