Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Hasn’t done too badly since the takeover, and seemed to get his head together and do the extra work to get fit. However, for me, the lasting memory was when he pathetically and aimlessly floated that last minute free kick when Lewis Dunk was in goal for Brighton when Howe was about to sign. Wont miss him.

Didn't he complain that life under Rafa was too hard and he preferred it under Bruce?

 

Tells you all you need to know really.

he never looked like he was busting a gut - just kind of walked around the pitch

7 seasons with a new promise every season of a new Shelvey, and pre-season interviews of team mates and staff saying he's the best player they've ever seen in training, but never amounted to more than short spells of the player he can be. Can only see positives of moving him on really. Hopefully we get a young replacement in that can challenge for a starting spot.

End of an era. Actually hard to come to terms with it actually happening. Years of wanting him to hit his potential, then years wanting him to be sold then he was a different animal under Howe. Wish him the best and hope he keeps Forest up, preferably at the expense of West Ham and Everton!

Has there been any mention of a fee? I remember reading yesterday it was meant to be pittance, which I'd understand tbf given he only really had 6 months and he was clearly wanting the move.

Not an exact amount but reporters saying it's nominal, as expected really

Sad to see him leave tbh,I understand if we have a younger replacement lined up but jonjo was only 30 and he would be a class player to turn to if we make Europe to unlock terms 

 

As he hasn't unlocked many lesser teams, not sure why this would be the case. But wish him well.
