Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Lascelles will end up being club captain eventually.

 

A picture tells a thousand words...

That really does as well :lol:

I still think he's a good player and I'm struggling to pin too much blame onto him given he's basically joined a sinking ship.  His range of passing requires players to actually want the ball and be moving for it otherwise he's just wasted. The West Ham and West Brom game really stood out for him when a few players made actual runs.

 

Aside from the Watford, Chelsea and obviously the weekend I think his work rate has arguably been as good as anyone our team.. Not that it's anything to shout about.

Bought because of his passport not his talent. Awful footballer

 

:thup:

 

His range of passing isn't even that good, his workrate is shocking (no worse than quite a few others though in our shithouse of a team) and athletically he's like an asthmatic sloth. Every now and then his Hollywood passes come off...but I remember him at Swansea scoring a few (or at least hitting the target) from distance, he's not even come close to that for us. I don't see where his supposed technical ability is, based on performances so far

Shelvey signed a five-and-a-half year contract in January, but does not have a clause that automatically reduces his salary if the club drop out of the Premier League.

 

The England midfielder is determined to stay on Tyneside, whatever the outcome of Newcastle’s relegation battle after securing regular first-team football since his £12million move from Swansea.

 

I am sure these two sentences are not linked in any way.

He'll probably get sent off.  He's made a couple of pretty hefty, late tackles since we signed him and he's a bit careless with his elbows.  Flails his arms about a lot.  He's either pointing or trying to hit one of the opposition.

He can't get a 2 match ban anymore for getting booked can he? Deadline was 10th April I think?

In other news, we'll be paying £3k/week more for Shelvey in the Championship than Barcelona are paying Neymar. :lol:

 

I keep seeing this and it's a bit annoying because although it's true, it ignores the bit where Neymar got a gargantuan signing on fee.

Thought he was woeful for first 5 mins when he came on. Seemed to be ok come the end.

 

He can't defend in the middle at all though. He needs two DM's protect him else he's a massive risk.
