Mountain Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 12 minutes ago, STM said: Even if he's fit, he's completely gone as a footballer at this level. Great vision and passing but he just can't run anymore. If forest offer us any decent fee, we let him go and save on a shit ton of wages. Patch the position up with a loan until May. Even his passing is bad now. Also he's always injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Just now, STM said: Nowhere near up to the running requirements in our current midfield. Looked awful against Palace. I agree that he's up a bottom half PL standard. Complete nonsense. Covered a lot of space every game for us second half of last season, and looked fitter than ever in pre season.

STM Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Wonder what Forest will give us for 6 month? 5m? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Will be a bit sad to see him go, tbh. Think he's looked good for us under Howe but his injury situation warrants getting shot now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was OK back end of last year but this season when he came back in he looked miles off it. He's also had two semi-serious injuries at the age of 30. For a team in the PL with the highest pressing stats, Shelvey is pretty much the last player who fits our system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 We can pretend he’s shot, but he would absolutely have been in the starting XI had he not got injured during preseason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right but you can’t really judge him off the back of one game after a long injury lay off. Wilson, Isak, Maxi etc all got a much longer grace period from folks on here.

Tsunami Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 If we allow Shelvey to go we must get a replacement in. We’re not exactly blessed with any depth in central midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 He's played 34 minutes. We're losing nothing by selling him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Bit gutted for jonjo but we have to take this deal if we can get another CM/DM replacement in. Could be a game changer. If we can't get someone in I would rather we keep him til the summer for depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 He's had his moments but getting some cash for him this month - plus his big salary off the books - would be a very nice bonus all told. He would inevitably have secured himself another contract as there'll be plenty of games to choose from when he returns from injury. I'd take our chances even without a replacement tbh. We've not missed him that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was due to be back from injury and you’d have assumed he would have got minutes, it absolutely does weaken us going forward to not replace in an already thin midfield Edited January 29, 2023 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also 30, had two injuries and 6 months way from his contract running out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
