Shelvey recalled

[MLB]

Who was it who was arguing that a loan spell at a club like Blackpool wouldn't do him any good?

Don't know.

 

But with Gerrard back soon and Spearing able to play, we might send him back there to progress more.

That would have been Code.

Figures.

He prefers "statistics".

It's yet more proof that God - correctly - hates Norway

 

Every single aspect of code's life; every opinion, dream, ambition or desire - smashed, destroyed, ridiculed and proven utterly wrong.

 

Cheers The Almighty. I have gazed upon your works, and his despair is pretty much total.

 

Wrong and deluded and disappointed by absolutely *everything*

[Heinze]

I think midfield may be a problem against teams. Fulham were able to find space quite easily and although villa were sites there were times where they made a few simple passes straight through adam/dhelvey/Henderson.

Wow, nice, you sure burned him good

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I like Shelvey. I think, once he settles, he'll be a scoring machine.

[Mathewbet1]

I love his baldy heed.

A good point well made.

Now, I say this with all due respect to Shelvey, but what with his general decent, if not spectacular physical ability and defensive play, set off against a seemingly inate sense of timing to get on the end of things in and around the box.

 

...shades of Lampard?

 

No wait, Jonjo can pass the ball more than ten feet, forget I said anything...

[Jairzinho]

I love his baldy heed.

 

Oh...Jonjo Shelvey, Jonjo Jonjo Shelvey...

[Randy Marsh]

I rate Shelvey higher than any of our young midfielders at the club. Really really like the lad and I believe he has all the tools to boss our middle for years to come. Physically he's imposing and he looks to have filled out a fair bit to. He'll be a real top player in time I reckon.

[lebron]

I think he is a good player and he will make it at Liverpool. He is confident, passes well and has an eye for goal. He is a bit like Henderson to my eyes, although Henderson is a bit further along having played more Premiership football. If we let the pair of them develop they will both do well for us for years to come.

 

I actually rate him above both Henderson and Spearing. I think the only thing he really lacks is games. Spearing may have a bit more bite and aggression to his pressing, but Shelvey looks more natural to me. Hopefully he'll get a few more chances to prove his worth while we wait for Gerrard to come back. I'm convinced Shelvey has a future as a 1st teamer with us, while Spearing and Henderson should only really be back-up-players in the future too...

 

Shades of Lampard? I know one other balded midfielder he resembles a lot more than Fat Frank. Granted, he'll never reach those heights, but the way he carries the ball, his balance, his passing (if not his dribbling) and the way he strikes the football--------> ZZ (not joking, by the way). Bar Wilshire, I think Shelvey is the most natural, young, English footballer out there. Hopefully his lack of pace won't limit his chances, although that is always a possibility. He seems to have bulked up a bit though, so perhaps he'll pick up the pace and physical side to the PL Lucas-style?

I got slaughtered for this in the summer because some people can't seem to grasp the concept of a not as good but similar style player but he reminds me of Zidane in the way that he runs, his style of play and technique

I said the same thing on the offal and RAWK and got the same response. That what you get for belonging to multiple boards;)

[RoyHodgeGone]

Shelvey has much better close control than Lampard, who I would see as more of a comparison to Henderson. In a way he is more Gerrard-like, though not as dynamic.

[Gym Beglin]

Shelvey loves it, that's all we need to know.

 

Imagine him in two or three years time, with a bit of muscle on him, I think we've got a potential something on our hands, and his attitude is spot on. Reminds me of...*thinks very hard*...the old, good version of Lee Bowyer at Leeds, or even some Paul Scholes-esque stuff in there.

[Guest TK-421]

Id say he's a hybrid of beckenbaur, hagi, baresi and batigol.

[Gym Beglin]

No, that's Huddlestone.

[Mathewbet1]

Is it ok to call him 'Shelves' or is that in 'Bellers' territory?

[Gym Beglin]

Jojak.
