Jonjo Shelvey to Newcastle

In my opinion its a cracking signing, scores goals something the rest of their midfield doesnt do.

Doesn't score that many. I had freebies for Swansea Vs Everton last season, he scored a penalty but was awful throughout the game. Gave the ball away so many times. A lot of my Jack mates who are ST holders are thrilled he gone for over double the price they paid for him. I think Newcastle have just added another problem to their squad.
 
Just read on Twitter that the signing of Shelvey is a replacement for Tiote who has told the club he wishes to leave.

He's technically sound but he's either lazy as F... or stupid. Has very little positional awareness and looks for glory balls too often. Very good when facing Liverpool but then he forgets which ends he's meant to score in.

It looks like both to be honest. Seems a very odd signing for Newcastle as the last thing they need are more players who blow hot and cold and only try when they feel like it. He's never struck me as being much more than a young Charlie Adam.
 
He had a great game against us a couple of years back at the etihad.
Was always in 5 yards of space
 
I think there's a decent player in there somewhere. The fee doesn't matter, especially if he helps keep them up.
 
Good player and I'd have him at City for that price.

There's definitely a player in there and he's got a good pass and technical ability.

He's no world beater and never will be but almost in a similar to Delph way, he'd be an upgrade on Fernando, homegrown and would add a bite to our game.
 
Its a great signing. I rate Shelvey quite highly as he is a cracking player who has been underrated for most of his career. Don't know why Swansea sold him as they are at the wrong end of the table
