Some more context about this - He came in at Forest as a "guarenteed starter". We went from 20th to 12th in a few months I think prior to his arrival, but CM was always a problem position for us. It wasn't an issue with competing with too many players.He spat his dummy out as he was dropped and wanted to play. At Forest he was competing with too many players. Here he would be a guaranteed starter and a huge upgrade on Norwood, who shouldn't be a starter anymore. We need consistency not 1 good game, 1 invisible game. If wages aren't too silly then it's a yes for me.
????? -- Shelvey -- Berge
We'd just need the Fleck replacement after that and our midfield would look so much better. Starting with 2/3rds of the that took us up four years ago is not progression.
He came into the team and was painfully bad and completely wrecked our momentum. He jogged around like he wasn't arsed most matches & gave away two penalties in about 5 games and then did this:
His game was basically boot the ball forward and completely bypass MGW and in turn it wrecked his form too. Then he was dropped next match and got the hump, falling out with Cooper - a guy that seems to be liked by every player that's ever played under him.
Trust me there is no sugar coating or looking at the positives with Shelvey. He's an absolute tosser and a crap footballer.
