Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

What role did Mr Transparent play in his first game for us? Didn't see the game but i read on here that he was absolutely brilliant, but after that he was very bad.

Literally would give zero fucks if he never played for us again.

 

:thup:

 

Same,  his attitude last season really pissed me off.

Danny Guthrie and Kevin Nolan, were about as mobile for Neville Southall and Neil Ruddock.  Yet we won the league easily, with that centre midfield pairing for a large chunk of the season.

 

His lack of mobility and athleticism, won't be such a problem a league down.  He'll get the time on the ball that he needs, as well.  It's why the likes of Barton look brilliant in the Champ and then average as a centre mid, in the prem. 

 

It sounds cocky and arrogant, but I still think people are overestimating this league.  Hull and Burnley have just bounced straight back and I'd argue we're sitting in a better position than they were this time last year. 

 

Guthrie, Barton and Nolan might not have been athletic but they tracked back and put their foot in. That's the issue with Shelvey, central midfield is not a part of the pitch where you can just stroll around watching other players do the running.

Apparently he's on 80k and week and has said that he wants more to stay. West Ham have expressed an interest in him and his dad wants him to go there. Needless to say NUFC are waiting for a suitable offer before shifting him along.

I thought after the West Ham game he would be a revelation for us, but since that game hes been utter toilet, I'm not even convinced I want to see him in the championship, decent offer comes in move him and and invest in someone more mobile and who is more likely to give a fuck.

I have no worries about Jonjo. He could be an absolutely huge player for us. I think he has fantastic ability and potential given his age too. If he leaves it is because he wont achieve it here in Rafa's eyes, if he stays it is because Rafa rates him. Either way is good enough for me.

Id love to know where this ability is as he's been absolute gash since West Ham.

If we can find a system that works with him I think he'll be class for us. Perhaps he does need to be played a little further forward, because his positioning and defensive ability needs massive work. It's literally terrible from what I've seen.

I think you answered your own question.

You forgot that he might stay because no-one would want to buy him or that no-one wants to pay 80k a week for him..

Get rid if there's money on the table

 

I'd snatch their hands off if anyone offered us close to our money back. I know the market's inflated but £12m was a waste of money on him.
