If Knocky and Shelvey were in the same side... How long before they came to blows I wonder?
Ages. Wouldn’t understand a word each other said. I imagine Shelvey can only understand words of one syllable spoken very slowly......and Knocky would never get Shelvey’s accent. We’ve got a couple of other obvious targets Shelvey would possibly start on first.....[emoji23][emoji23]

Head and shoulders the best player on the pitch when we played them at ours last season

Last time we played Newcastle he was the biggest threat when he came on and nearly scored straight from the corner. The bloke's a rare talent in the way that he loves to attack from so deep in his own half, a great footballer to watch. Shame he's so unlikeable.

Your support is not that great
Quite an intelligent footballer for a guy who does a good impression of an unintelligent human being.

Remember being really impressed by him as a teenager playing for Charlton in pre-season friendly at Withdean. Unfortunately, after seeing a lot more of him in the years since, I'm not so sure now.
But if CH wanted and could control him, I'm sure he would improve the team.

Usually, the really skilful footballers with problem attitudes carry their egos with them onto the pitch but Shelvey comes across as one of the rare ones who are good team players. He even stepped in to act as peacemaker when two team-mates had a punch up. I'm not sure that the likes of Berbatov, Tevez or Ballotelli would do that.

Up to CH and the recruitment team, IMHO. Good footballer, but questions over his character. I'll go with what they decide.
Also up to TB - would he smash the wage structure (or would he be prepared to take a massive pay cut)? Mind you, I would happily accept a pay 'cut' to £30K a week (I wouldn't mind £30K a year either!) - but I don't think PL footballers have such a reasonable outlook on life!

I haven't noticed that he is creating or scoring much for Newcastle, but I have noticed he is on a big wage and likes to take a card or two.

He is one player I hate seeing us play against as his vision and passing is excellent. We won't sign him though no way we could afford his wages
WA is in my option correct in highlighting what we need and it's a creative centre midfielder to give CH other options when we find games drifting away from us I think we need this more than a forward.
Is Shelvey what we need he undoubtedly is a good player with an eye for making and scoring goals has a bit of on pitch presence about him that irritates the opposition players and fans alike, he's the type of player if in your team you love and hate if not in the Oatway, El Abb sort of way

A disciplinary liability. As he gets older he reminds me more and more of Joey Barton.......

Shirley by being unhappy and wanting to leave (if this is true) that's the very definition of someone who isn't a Hughton kind of personality.
