The Prophet Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) People are getting way too misty eyed about this. Played a part in our promotion and was alright in spells last season, but ultimately an absolute passenger for most of his time here who showed glimpses of his talent for Match of the Day, but didn't do enough on a consistent basis. Anyway, good luck to him. Edited January 30, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Free-kick at Leeds was arguably the catalyst for everything that’s followed. *granted it was piss poor goalkeeping to actually let it in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Pretty sure we’ll be in for Gallagher on loan once the Enzo to Chelsea deal goes through. Would work well for all parties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Never a fan. Silly name. Still, did well under Howe so good luck to the lad. Edited January 30, 2023 by Stal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Not sad to see him go at all. Half a dozen decent games a season, injury after injury and costing us 80k a week. Seeya mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Man Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Has sort of looked like a changed man since the new management came in so it is good that he leaves before having the chance to prove that all bullshit and that he is still a liability. No ill will towards him now he is finally leaving, hopefully he can play a part for Forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) He was there at times we needed him. Hope he gets what he’s looking for in Notts Forest even if it’s just some new golf courses. Edited January 30, 2023 by RodneyCisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Good luck to him. Don't think he's anywhere near as bad as some people have made out on here but his time is definitely up at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I’ll be sad when he’s leaving but it’s probably the right time given his wages and contract situation. I do think he’s under appreciated by a lot of the fan base as any upturn in form we’ve had he’s usually been an important cog in it - he’s an easy scapegoat when things don’t go well as he isn’t one of those all action players. He’s had some huge games for us. The Man U victory on Dubravka’s debut really stands out. He dominated Pogba. He’s also really bought into the North East and loves the area. Assuming we get to a final and finish well in the league I think he deserves to be part of the first Newcastle squad to potentially achieve something in decades. That said, the decision seems to be his. Don’t get me wrong, it’s the right decision for the club and financially probably for him too but feel he deserves more respect. People buzzing he’s leaving feels a seems a bit shan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 He was an absolute disgrace at times pre-takeover, but had seemed to gain a bit of consistency under Howe. I'd have piggy-backed him out of the club last October, now it's just a shrug and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cans every night apparently. Didn’t he admit a pre seasons back that he didn’t know beer was bad for him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 He is probably told being surplus by Howe. I am still shocked to see how this go through so fast - as if he wants the move for long Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I think that we all know deep down that Shelvey COULD HAVE BEEN a great player for us. It is nobody else’s fault, apart from his, that he has not achieved this. We have seen patches of form here and there but the bottom line is that he has consistently been average with a few peaks in between.
