Tooj 17 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 So according to Sky Sports we're in talks about Shelvey. The below is what the Swansea fans make of him. https://thejack.army/threads/shelvey.10279/ https://thejack.army/threads/shelvey-wanted-a-fight.10400/ Still rather have him than Colback mind.

aimaad22 4156 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Aye would have him over Colback but for some reason Im sure he's going to be shite for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10849 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 A British player with Premier League experience? Well apparently that's what we've needed, right? Europa League here we come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd normally say this move again underlines our lack of ambition to be anywhere serious. An average player out of form in a struggling team. Yet who else would come here now? In our state. What is the likelihood of a European import succeeding? Constant failures since Cabaye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21912 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 On the bright side him and Colback will probably make a decent centre midfield partnership for next year in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydnator 45 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 An upgrade on Colback. I'll take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haydnator 45 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 No way Colback would get dropped unfortunately. Why? Because he's ginger and from Killingworth and 'gets stuck in'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haydnator 45 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 aye it'll be beside colback he'll play, and no thanks especially not at £10m jesus i wouldn't even pay half of that I saw somewhere we were going to pay 12m, which sounds even more ludicrous. I would take him, but not at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44804 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I wouldn't pay £10m for him on Football Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21912 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It's like paying £12m on Tom Cleverly. Aye, he's an England international but so was Geoff Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Smoke & mirrors the art of deception we're out the league cup we're out the FA Cup we're 18th in the Premiership let's pretend to buy a player that'll take their minds away from the state of the club. The club's in Shit Street this won't make any difference now if there's half a dozen proven premiership players signed by the window closing fair enough but I'll only believe it when theyve a black & white shirt on their back. Oh & isn't it coming up to ST renewal time come on lads & lasses we're better than this . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm pleased we're in for Shelvey personally. He's no Rob Lee but he's a genuine presence in midfield playing decent passes. He'll be going to Euro 2016 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21912 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 wtf is he doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6581 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Not trying, thats what he is doing. Thats embarrassing for an International footballer. Despite all that i'd take him but then i'd take a slab of meat in the midfield rather than Anita. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4377 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I've always thought he was a canny player with a lot of potential but was put off by his scouseness (ie association with the club rather than upbringing) and thought we should have been in for him before now. I'm slightly put off now by the bad attitude stuff I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1244 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm pleased we're in for Shelvey personally. He's no Rob Lee but he's a genuine presence in midfield playing decent passes. He'll be going to Euro 2016 too.Changed your tune haven't you Stevie? Didn't you once say that he'd end up dropping right down the leagues (or something like that). Personally I still agree with your previous feelings about him but the sad fact is, he probably would improve us now. Much rather see us go for better but how we'd get anyone better to come here now is beyond my powers of deduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looked OK for England too. He's more of a presence than Kenton Jack too. One worry is he's quite easily wound up though, as yesterday proved.

One worry is he's quite easily wound up though, as yesterday proved.I agree he's improved since he left the wall pushers but I still don't rate him and really can't stand him (that might cloud my judgment of his ability). I'm not sure that you're doing this, but I've seen a few people compare him to Colback and say he's a better player because he does more going forward. Of course he does but that's clearly not Colback's game. I don't blame Colback for not doing that role, I blame McClaren for playing two defensive minded players in the middle and more so blame our recruitment team for creating a squad that doesn't have players to fill all the positions we need.

I've never seen anyone pass the ball square more than David Batty but Colback isn't far behind. I'm all for a defensive midfielder, Makalele was made for the role, but at least he passed the ball forward, when does Colback ever do it? Midfielders need to occasionally mix their game up.
