    ........... a huge amount of money for such an average player as Jonjo Shelvey.

    Twelve million pound ffs and he has a daft Christian name!

    Newcastle captain, superstar, saviour <doh>

    It seems Newcastle are stuck with him because no one else would be daft enough to pay that much to take him on.

    I think he's shyte but may be wrong, can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

    You're not missing at least 3 zeroes off the end! Take them off and he's worth a punt.

    The problem is that when most people aren't being serious they're funny and it's obvious .......

    Here's a challenge for you. After his next good game once the season starts, start hash tagging #nufc, Shelvey and #Baldscholes in the same tweet to see what happens. :p

    Technically gifted player but only seems to turn it on once in a blue moon.

    Always seems angry at the world.

    Still young and has plenty of time to improve, looking at the state of the England midfield it wouldn't be a bad thing if he started improving sooner rather than later.

    He needs to start by keeping the balls he plays simple instead of looking for the 50 yard raker every time he gets the ball.

    No, because even though I am not serious, I can imagine a fair few people would genuinely believe he is...... I won't fall for your trap you sneaky fox <laugh>

    To be honest I thought him and Townsend bought Newcastles survival but I admit I was shocked at that price. Good decent player on his day tho.

    Lad has some talent, however seems to have a ****e attitude.

    Almost seems to me as if he thinks he's owed something the way he goes on. I remember when they played Chelsea last season and he was throwing a strop over to the bench sulking on like a child.

    Brilliant management by the way paying double what he's worth and paying him a fortune, while not giving him a relegation wage drop. Probably the highest paid player in the Fizzy Pop league by a long way.

    Not sure mate, might keep it. I was well impressed when I came up with it.

    Might even just change my photo to Giacc in a Napoli top!!
