joeyt 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. Shelvey would be terrible as a number 10 like, takes away the best part of his game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 He's just lazy as fuck. Genuinely lazy too, not the Berbatov style of lazy-cool. 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...

Darth Crooks Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 If you go in a huff and almost deliberately lax as a result - it's pretty gutless yeah. It's not a fetish, he just doesn't always step up when needed despite you knowing he has the aptitude. I look at that Shrewsbury behaviour and despair.

joeyt Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Lascelles seems to have a go at people but can back it up with good performances. Shelvey watches players or the ball go past him then blames others Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my take on it. I used to go mad at teammates who wouldn't pick up the runners, Shelvey just points fingers and doesn't actually do any of the work himself.

Altamullan Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Yep the crumpy gunt can pass a baal (as in football not sun god). Knocked a couple of absolute beauties down the right wing on Saturday; sand wedge precision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Shelvey is talented, but he lacks the appetite to really push on. And I don't mean by running around a lot and putting in tackles. I mean by getting involved in the game, taking charge of his role and showing leadership and determination. I just see a moody talented payer who lets the game pass him by too much. I'd happily see him leave because I feel he has nothing to offer Rafa's Newcastle long-term unless he really kicks on. He is far too good for the Championship though and should piss this division as should most of our players. Whether they will remains to be seen.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Alex Pritchard will be a Brighton player within the next 48 hours, according to Sky sources, with a fee worth up to £8m having been agreed with Spurs and only a few more formalities needing to be completed. However, Anthony Knockaert will not be leaving Brighton in this transfer window, according to Sky sources. The two deals are not linked in any way and Newcastle no longer retain an interest in the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'd assume that if we no longer have an interest, we've moved onto someone else - wonder who that could be? Without being funny; we're big enough and have the spending power to force the move if we wanted to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
