Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Çaykur Rizespor, on loan from Nottingham Forest)

Will be an honour seeing them play together at Barcelona.

he's fucking at one dickhead, now piss off back to charlton which is your level

Still can't believe we gave him and Ritchie new contracts ffs.

Aye.  Parting gift from a S Bruce. 

Thanks Steve!  Now fuck off and take that prick with you.

he'll sit and see out the contract, as will ritchie

no way we get them off the books - maybe shelvey if we give him away free but that'll be it i reckon

inevitable rather than believable

I do eventually think jonjo will get a move to a fellow struggling PL side where he'll be as equally unimpressive.

I think the Ritchie interview where he basically said Shelvey is half arsed about football, not fully committed and tosses it off to play golf say everything tbh.

Mistake giving him a new contract.

I don't rate him and can see why Rafa used him less and less during his reign.

He'd be one of the first I'd ship.

That's true.

We gave them because the current coaching team probably think they are decent players if you want to just about avoid relegation. They are shit most of the season, but they will provide the odd spark of quality which might nick us a win here or there. Perfect for a Bruce set up really.

The good news is that once the Saudis get in, we'll happily bin off wankers on long contracts if only to make room for better players. That's the plus side of having wealthy owners.

The fuck's he coming out with shite like that for?

Must be on commission.

I can't believe he has said that.

That can't be a real quote

 

Must be on commission.

thanks Jonjo

He's simply not a winner.

thanks Jonjo

Hold on.....there’s still 9 games to go...plenty of time for Pork Pie Chops to still relegate Us

He's become my most disliked player in this squad. His constant Bruce arselicking man. Would not be sad at all if/when Shelvey leaves/gets moved on.

He’s actually at his level right now. Hopefully not for much longer.

Tbf he knows that. Players like him and Ritchie need us to be shite so they can continue to play for a 'big team'. If we get taken over, with a more ambitious manager, they will be peddled to some other team struggling for survival.

I can understand extending Ritchie's deal, he's a good leader around the dressing room. Giving Shelvey three-years, essentially rewarding what has been a wildly inconsistent few years, is beyond stupid.

I won't lie, I do love the type of player Shelvey is. I'm a sucker for a slower passing midfielder like Ever Banega, but he's nowhere near that level. It's a shame because I don't doubt he could have been, but the days of potential are long gone. He's the first one I'd want out.

Think he’ll do well with Mbappe and Kane in front of him next season.

Easily our best midfielder this season, from the little I’ve seen and that’s a bit of a disgrace.

Really good today, even without the goal considered.

Agreed for the most part, although I think he could be more influential. We are a much better team when he decides to play further forward with some positivity.

Seems like his fitness has improved markedly - he’s making sprints and one-twos much more regularly, and for deeper into the ninety minutes.
