Yorkie Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 3 hours ago, Pilko said: Just reading a Forest forum and a lot of them calling him a liability, complaining about his lack of energy and running, his slowness, reluctance to track back and saying that his long range wafted passes are predictable and pointless. We had near enough eight years of this shit so fair play to them for spotting it after about eight games No axe to grind with the bloke himself but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling seeing another club having these debates.

magvicar Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Eddie Howe's not daft. He knew Shelvey's time was up and no way was he going to sustain the energy levels required by this squad. Shelvey was decent enough at times but his out of the box shots and goals plus the odd few Hollywood passes can paper over the massive cracks in his overall game over a season. Good luck to him and he goes with no ill will from me. The game on Friday was just Shelvey trying to impress the forest fans and also trying to make a statement to us that he's still got what it takes to be a part for us in a look what you're missing out on kind of thing. It made him look a bit butcherish (is that a word?) and he was basically nullified but as I say, good luck, he's forests asset/problem now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Shelvey said he had nothing but good words for Newcastle and with a smile they were a load of whinge bags and he was off to the dressing room to tell them. Wish him the best, we all know his limitations and tbf I think he does as well. He looked like he was buying into the new regime and picked up an injury which I think ultimately did for his time here. Forest come in and offer silly wages, I mean, it’s a complete no brainer.

I feel like I remember Howe saying he didn't want to sell. Edited March 19, 2023 by mikejaxer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's technically on loan but the terms surrounding obligation to buy have been triggered, however it couldn't be made loan to permanent outside the window. That's a guess like.

That has alleviated some concern, sounds about right. I fucking hope it is, don't ever want to see him back here, loveable Kiwi that he is. But I do hope that him and Shelvey will keep Forest up, would feel a bit guilty if they went down after signing so many ex-Toon players in a bid to stay up. Colback as well, dear me.

Yeah, it's a funny one because Shelvey was one game away from activating a year extension and I think Howe wanted him for this season as simply back up but I have a feeling the hierarchy have took the opportunity to take what Forest offered, maybe against Howe's wishes, but if so I could see both sides to this. I think Shelvey would've liked an extra year and likely we may have triggered his extension if Forest hadn't come knocking for Wood and Him. It's clearly worked in our favour as it stands.

Stifler Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 That’s the sort of laziness he was prone too and the stuff that pissed people off because it often was at the end of games that we were either winning, or in a favourable position in. Everyone said we shouldn’t have sold him, yet those who were a little more aware, knew he would just do something like that. Rafa couldn’t coach it out of him and I don’t think Howe was convinced he could either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 We've totally rinsed Forest. Got a £4m loan fee and £15m for the limited and now crocked Wood. We got cash for Voldemort too. Totally stitched them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Haha, I hadn't seen the thread bump, was casually just reading the Forest forum, and I'm in stitches at some of the replies.
