Hanshithispantz Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 He just said it's not for him to discuss basically Shelvey will get a contract extension one way or another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Admittedly, Dan Ashworth wasn't in back then, but I remember him discussing Longstaff's future much more vividly 6 months ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We were offering Longstaff a contract though. We're not offering Shelvey one (not yet anyway) as he has an automatic extension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Sounds like he should be back fit before the the WC break. Good news Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Still can't believe the shape he managed to get himself in. He is so lean now. Crazy. Probably has helped with how quickly he has bounced back from that injury now too it seems. Good news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 We’ve missed him. Quicker recovery than seems to have been expected, good stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Unsurprising yet still surprising how excited I am with the prospect of having him back after several years of hoping he was moved on and replaced in each upcoming window. He hasn't done too much wrong under Howe and has been a great contributor. Still needs replacing but has a future here in the team in the short term and squad for the mid.

Nine Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) I expected Bruno to be starting in that position this season even if he was fit but I’m not so sure anymore, think he’d be pushed up alongside Joe with Shelvey sitting for more games than often when he’s back now Edited September 16, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Amazed at how much we actually miss him. So much more quality with him rather than Willock or Longstaff, even if Shelvey is just an "option", he's a bloody good one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Definitely one of those players who contributes far more with good players around him. I don’t see him being here much longer, but he’s obviously a better option than Longstaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does a specific job reasonably well, collects the ball from the back, distributes well, and doesn't give the ball away much. His movement off the ball is still rubbish, but yes, he will be upgraded in the next year or so I would imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greydos Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 So glad he’s not Scott McTominay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolberto Disco Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Rather McTominay than Shelvey. McTominay can actually run, track back, and pass a ball to someone in the same shirt. Jonjo was at his best in the Championship. He was a Championship Zidane. He can't be relied on to provide any consistent level of performance. He can strike a ball, yes, ping a pass yes - play CM in the Premier League, I'd say no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd by and large agree, we were better when Rafa dropped him, but he did very well under Howe, I had thought we shouldn't trust him but if Howe can get a consistent tune out of him would be happy for him to be back. We were after a midfielder in summer but didn't get one, I imagine we will be back in January for one so unfortunately for him he does have shelf life but if he comes back he is certainly an upgrade on Longstaff or Willock and i say this as someone who has been advocating for Shelvey to be phased out for some time.

He was given an extended contract under Ashley. Not one Premier League club would take Shelvey right now. I've never liked him, and never will.
