Ikon Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I mentioned my in general thoughts on Shelvey during the game. Fucking hell people still going on about it/subject. Some people need to learn to ignore when it goes too far, just grow up Imagine spending the energy and effort and time arguing with each other back and forth. DO SOMETHING else after a while… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Haven’t seen enough of Diaby to disappointed to have missed out, at least it hasn’t dragged on till the end of the window, would now expect movement on the likes of Dennis, Sarr or Cornet.

ponsaelius Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Fwiw I never liked Barton for exactly the same reasons. And I think Shelvey is a better footballer than Barton was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 100% I do get it like, but since I actually started paying attention to him a bit more he's a really tidy player and does a lot more defensively than I thought. We need to replace him, but he's a more than good enough squad player. Despite his reputation he actually seems a decent bloke aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
