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...

toontownman Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 If we let Shelvey leave we have three options for central mid. Saivet is off and Colback is never playing for us again. If anything we need another two in. The choice of Hayden, Diame and Merino for the rest of the season, if all fit, is scary as shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Some strange opinions on here about Shelvey like. He has his flaws, but nee fucking way should we be selling him in this window. If we stay up and you want to sell him/get someone else in during summer, then I can see the logic there. But not fucking now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. If you break down his range of passing and analyse it, yes he can hit a long ball into feet and space and exceptionally well, but so could most if afforded time and space. It seems to be his one stand out attribute and that type of passer is pretty much always going to be ineffective in creating chances and goals at this level especially for a struggling team because the game is too fast and played at a higher tempo than that. In many ways he can actually slow our game down and again I’d rather see a much snappier passer even if it’s juts 10 and 20 yard quick balls played into feet or space than constant Hollywood balls. My main grip with him, however, is he is so immobile and seems shagged father 60 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
