Shearergol Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Shelvey out for £12m, Wilson in for £18m. That's the £6m difference we heard about. Thanks Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 He our most attacking playmaker, it would be mental to sell him at this point. Our most attack minded player with 0 goals and 0 assists. Not arsed if he leaves, we need central midfielders with more energy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I think it's a shame if true, some may laugh, but imo he's one of the best passers of a ball in the league; and whilst his stats aren't anything special, his contribution in launching attacks for us will be a huge miss and is possibly being underestimated by those happy to see him the back of him. We aren't in the championship anymore and if you think hes one of the best in the premier league youre off your rocker man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 HBA Kennedy Schürrle Something like this for a new front 3 cheers Rafa?? Wouldn't Schurrle and Ben Arfa be swapped round? Ben Arfa's never been a striker. Was practically a srtriker when he returned to france with Nice. In this day and age, is the modern goal scorer actually labelled a striker? Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar etc. Probably all converted from wide players to inside forwards/attackers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We can't sell with out a replacement like. But he's been a big let down. Shelvey, Ritchie, Gayle & Lascelles were the four from last season we really needed to have good seasons and only Lascelles has stepped up. If Rafa thinks he can find someone better then I'd sell him. We can't be left with just Merino, Hayden and Diame for half a season, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It makes perfect sense that we've loaned Kenedy and now Shelvey is available. Perfect sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Merino is a much better player than Shelvey. I wouldn't want Merino to get another injury, we would be fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I think it's a shame if true, some may laugh, but imo he's one of the best passers of a ball in the league; and whilst his stats aren't anything special, his contribution in launching attacks for us will be a huge miss and is possibly being underestimated by those happy to see him the back of him. We aren't in the championship anymore and if you think hes one of the best in the premier league youre off your rocker man I believe he is one of the best passers in the league, nothing more I can say really. It's an opinion formed whilst watching a lot of premier league football - not many even attempt the passes he does never mind pull them off on a regular basis.

David Icke - Son of God Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Shelvey's had a bit of a shite season, but if we get rid of him without a like for like replacement we are in serious trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 If shelvey goes without a "playmaker" replacement we`ll be Championship bound Not really since we are arguably a better team without Shelvey playing anyway. How many goals and assists has Shelvey got so far in the league this season? None. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Shelvey wont be sold. Rafas not that mad. You would be weakening your squad to allow him out at 12m because theres no chance to buy better in a overpriced January ripoff market. If it was more like 20m I could understand a bit.

TRon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Happy with Shalvey moving on if we have something better lined up. Well that's obviously the million dollar question. I'm hoping him going means we are getting someone in. Looks like his sale will pay for the striker rather than a direct replacement though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Whatever you think of Shelvey, £12m is pathetic in today's market like. Sam Clucas was £17 million wasn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFlat Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Not a chance Rafa would be sanctioning Shelvey leaving without a replacement guaranteed, like. That's not to say it won't happen, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We've been after Wilson since he was still at Cov. I think he's decent (18 in 46 in the PL) but very injury prone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
