Didn't play against Arsenal did he? Arguably our best performance of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but Callum Wilson + Bruno Guimarães did. That was the big difference. Wilson was awesome when he returned for those last two games. Shelvey also didn’t play in the 5-0 loss to Man City.

I don't want either of them playing regularly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 What exactly has Shelvey been good at since Howe came in? He’s been improved without good but calling him good is a stretch to me. easily upgradable imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 2 hours ago, Flip said: Are you guys saying you'd be happy to go into next season with Joelinton, Shelvey, Longstaff, Bruno and Willock as our central midfielders? I think a DM/CM/CAM depending on how we plan to play Bruno should be our priority along with a RW. Also, Joelinton hasn't created a problem for us signing Paqueta at all. They don't play the same position at all. Paqueta is much more advanced and far far more talented. It's not about being happy, in reality on Bruno is the genuine class midfielder out of those on our books, the rest could all be upgraded. But I would have thought a DM was even more important than someone like Paqueta who would be more of an AM. Unless we are prepared to play Bruno in a deeper role like he played previously with Paqueta. I just don't know if we'll be able to buy in all the players we need in one transfer window. If Paqueta is available though, it would seem a great chance to bring in a genuine upgrade player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been improved without good but calling him good is a stretch to me. easily upgradable imo. Sitting in front of the defence - making blocks, interceptions and passing it forward. Strong in the tackle when needed. He's played at 100% commitment - he can't do that for a season. Also playing at the very edge of his athleticism too. Massive work every game he played. As Flip said, how we want to use Bruno is crucial to the midfielder we bring alongside him. I mentioned earlier that i thought Spurs needed a CM - forgetting they already signed Bissouma.

WillingtonMag Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Also Howe rates Shelvey very highly pretty much said he's amazed at his technical ability In a few interviews, he's absolutely good enough and I'm backing him to have a good season.

gazza ladra Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 At some point last season I remember some commentator noting that Newcastle hadn’t won a game without Shelvey in midfield. I remember being rather surprised by that. Obviously that didn’t hold true for the remainder of the season. We really did look a different side with Wilson and Bruno playing. Rewatched those last two games— ASM was looking to make a pass! Wilson, Bruno, Trippier, and Shelvey all playing at the same time? Didn’t happen.

Abacus Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) I'd love to sign this Paqueta fella, if he's available. I've seen people debating where he'd fit in our midfield. But there's a good post on another thread about the impact of bring in the 5 subs rule, where more quality in depth will be a real advantage. That's quite apart from the benefits of having competition for places and potentially being able to mix up your tactics. Though, I do agree that a striker and a winger are the priority for now.

Cookie1892 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 not a rumour but if we are building a squad here i would defo go for that pulisic from chelsea, i know he's meant to be going abroad but he is decent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 2 minutes ago, Shearergol said: I'm just concerned that he's never shown any level of consistency through his entire career. Agreed. Wouldn't argue with his performances under Howe being generally improved, but sooner or later he'll let us down with half arsed performances again. We also looked a lot more dynamic without him in the last few games. He's fine as backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Replacing him shouldn't be the priority if we had to choose two more players for instances it's likely we would go for a winger and a forward. With that being said If we could get a third replacing him would be high on my list. He's stats are hardly ground breaking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
