Jonjo Shelvey?

Supposedly we are targetting Shelvey in the summer, offering Charlie Adam in a trade + 2-3 million

 

Not a trade, but we are selling Adam because he is unsettled and Shelvey is the replacement

 

Strange one for me, get rid of a decent proven CM, who is good in a dead ball scenario?

 

First i'd heard of Adam being unsettled, thought it was the usual Pulis being a plonker thing.

 

Look it really does not matter who the hell comes, its all about Coates and Pulis.

Feel sorry for Charlie

 

Bit of an echo there Nick

 

Must of been shouting in Pulis's ear!!

 

Blimey, if you don't like Whelan's tackling..........Shelvey makes him look like Bobby Moore

 

He has had his moments hasn't he? I thought he was doing allright at Liverpool - I think he would go back to West Ham rather than play for us and I don't think he is any better than Adam, Wildson, Nzonzi or Palcious?

 

The first few times I saw Shelvey ( via tv ) I thought he had some skill and vision. For whatever reason , later performances were not as good. He certainly knows how to put the boot in , very much a Clulis type of player.

 

if he's a yes man they will probably buy him but he might be a bit young for Pulis.

 

You are right koskikabow and we already have enough of his type at Stoke. I don`t want to see him at the Brit. We have players on the books with a bit of class if only Pulis realised it. Get Jermain out on the right wing. I don`t give a damn what he gets up to when he is at the night clubs. I want to see him on the field on matchdays.

 

It's one that's dividing us.

Shelvey started the season brightly, and scored a few in the Europa.

Undoubtedly he possesses some qualities - he gets into good positions, has vision, has the ability to pass/shoot from range, and a decent engine...

BUT - he is often uncomfortable in tight situations, occasionally lets the ball simply bounce off him, drifts out of games and has a wild streak in the tackle.

He could end up being a decent box to box midfielder, and could certainly benefit from a season of regular first team football - a loan would suit both teams better.

If he has a good season his value would be around £7-12M regardless. Don't think you'd spend £7M on him right now, but I do think we'd sell for that and take £5M in profit.

 

A box to box midfielder?, theres no chance pulis will want him then!!

Pulis out

 

Sounds like a Pulis right back to me!!

 

Malkie Mackay is planning a summer move for Jerome, Adam and Jones. Offering under 5 million for each!
I am guessing TP will accept

 

Another bit of great business.

 

If it happens good luck in resurrecting their careers

 

Can't we chuck in pulis for free then.
He could make the tea!

 

Sort of get a free nodding dog.
