Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

No way was he being serious

Just shite "bantz"

He got a class reception before he left us he's not gonna spoil that. He's said nowt but good things about us

The comments were banter but why was he sliding in from behind multiple times on Bruno. he’s a total liability, glad he’s gone 

 

Agreed on both points. He'd love to have been here for the rest of his career, but just like when he was here, he was chasing shadows. Not up to the top level, but wish him well at Forest.

 Definitely not saying he’s a legend mate. Didn’t particularly like his antics or interview tonight either. But he was an important player for us for years and it would be churlish to deny that. 

I never took to him personally the way others did and thought he was as disappointing throughout his time here as he was impressive. For every 2 month high he had there was 6 months of disappointment either side imo but Tbf there was some very high highs for where we were at the time. His championship season, playing next to Diame under Rafa and a couple of months under Howe were impressive but his time outside of that left a sour taste in my mouth personally. Maybe I’m just being harsh after having high expectations when we signed him.

So glad we're shot of him. Yes we should've replaced him before letting him go, but he's an awful footballer. 

Pretty clear that Rafa wanted to replace him 5 or so years ago and no doubt in my mind that he was right. Not all shelveys fault but obvious he’s just not a player capable of being part of a team to get us where we want to go. Same as players like gayle and Ritchie, obviously they’re going to want to stay because they know they’ll never play for a club like this again but the they should really have been let go a few years ago

He was being serious at first and was angry.

 

Then he realised he didn't want the hassle so said it again but in a joking way and clarifying it was a joke.

 

I'm glad he's no longer here, I thought he was poor as usual this evening.

No he wasn't man. Stop fabricating stuff.

 

He played hard tonight, and was clearly motivated going up against his former team mates, and probably wanted to get one over on them and show his commitment against his former team for the home fans.

 

No big deal. Good test that we passed with flying colours.

He's only ever really spoke positive words about us, the club and the area. Have no problems with how he played, he was fired up and made a few daft challenges like he has throughout his career. 

 

We wanted to keep him, he left as it was a better long term deal for himself. Don't really have any issues against him, was probably one of their better players tonight.

To be honest, I think it was as much Bruno knowing he had his number and manipulating him into fouls. 4d chess vs. checkers kind of thing. You could see there was no spice in the reactions after the fouls.

 

Saw nothing tonight that made me regret losing him fortunately.

I like Shelvey and I'll thank him for kinda carrying on and putting up with shit. I would always respond with "When?" when anyone said he was a apeticularly good passer of the ball for us, though. I dont think we've particularly lost all that much with him leaving, but I do hope he does well at Forest and gets to enjoy the rest of his footballing career.
