He’s also probably the only player that would come close to covering less ground than Jonjo.
Jakirović said he wanted ‘speed and power’ in midfield during the press conference so I will be very, very surprised if Shelvey is offered a contract.
As soon as he sees him in a pre-season friendly, Jakirović will be thinking to himself ‘I can cover more ground than him and I’m pushing 50’. Jakirović was a no-nonsense defensive midfielder in his playing days.
