peder Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Think Brighton will be our biggest rivals next season tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Like Kanji says, I would also love it if Rafael brought in a couple of promising young players from RM for example. Can't help but feel that there are good players who are extremely talented but just won't get the chance at some clubs. I just love naturally technical players with a silky touch.

KaKa Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I have a feeling Shelvey will end up at Palace. Think Pardew wanted him in January too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Sure I remember Pardew speaking very highly of Shelvey at one point, could happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 If we got our £12m back I wouldn't mind if we lose Shelvey. He seems to want to make a go of it this season, I just don't think he has the motor required to be a top central midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I have a feeling Shelvey will end up at Palace. Think Pardew wanted him in January too. He'd have to get rid of Cabaye then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I have a feeling Shelvey will end up at Palace. Think Pardew wanted him in January too. He'd have to get rid of Cabaye then. Would probably play one at number 10. Think he played Shelvey there at Charlton, and also used Cabaye there loads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Cabaye is used more as a holding midfielder by Pardew, no reason why Shelvey couldn't play ahead of him. That would be a very technically accomplished midfield, but no bite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I don't like Shelvey. He's gutless albeit it very talented. Captain imagination can have him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Obviously Shelvey hasn't done well but I would still hope he can play a part this season. He gets a pass for last season IMO, everyone basically does. I don't know if he has the attributes to be a top PL midfielder but I'm sure he's not as bad as he's shown for us so far.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 His general demeanor is a bit dodgy TBF, he just looks like he's mooching around. Might just be his face mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The worrying thing is that Shelvey hasn't seemed to be given a leading role in pre-season. Doesn't look like he will be in the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 After Clark Cent and Diamé i still think we might go for another 3. Winger, Striker and a LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Same, striker and a winger would be it IMO. Which i'm fine with personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 You're probably right, it's probably more about me wanting Left footed attacking LB I rate Dummett defensively but a technically better attacking one with end product would make a big difference imo. One more option in the last third to provide width and another body high up the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The impression I get about Shelvey is its always someone else's fault, that and the pointing. The pointing bugs me, especially when he's in acres of space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more option in the last third to provide width and another body high up the pitch. I agree with you i'm just starting to think we are going to stick with what we have and if we get promoted then we'll get a left back. There probably isn't many left footed left backs who are comfortable going forward available who would play in the championship anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
