Never heard of Jo Jo Shelvey. I thought for a moment you meant John Jo Shelvey

I actually thought he meant Jonjo Shelvey, Richard

Well you need to put on goggle glasses like he does that celebration .. He takes awesome free kicks tackles and creates also has a great shot. For me hes on plane to Brazil Woy Hodgson backs him as he signed him he knows quality. Has wealth of european experience and has learnt with Gerrard how to master midfield. At 21 theres no better english midfield player. Just remember 21 !! and what hes acheived experience wise Swansea excellent passing team this kid can only get better

I don't see the fuss with Shelvey.

As some wit on here once said, he plays like he's forgotten to take his boots out of the box.

If youre talking about fuss tom cleverly....

The question is, who is worse: Shelvey or Altidore?

[villa kicks]

Can you dare to risk naming a couple of players to watch out for this season.. that people arent so oh yeah hes awesome. but obvious.. no didnt think so .. im indvidual opinion must hurt so bad for you not to have an idea on any players and try and hit me haha your last post was poor show or true show on your self. I ll do my best to not make fun of you and your posts better still i ll try to stay inetrested in your wildly unimaginative texts.

[mattjpa]

If I had a quid for everytime I heard the name Altidore on here this close season....

Granted, most of its been from the chap who doesnt use punctuation and plays too much championship manager....

[villa kicks]

Anyway point is Shelvey would have been a nice signing for Villa IMO

I'll name you three young players better than Shelvey for a start sir:
Westwood.
Delph.
Sylla.

Liverpool aren't coming up with as much quality youth as they used to. It's part of the reason why they're not locked into the top 4 any more, in addition to the fact they've spent recklessly.

Sterling isn't bad. He's a much better prospect than Shelvey...not that I'm saying he's one to watch out for.

I think you've communicated that pretty clearly. Somehow.

I do find it a bit funny that "on the plane to Brazil" with England is some kind of mark of quality, though, when you look at some of the other mediocre dross that'll be on that plane.

[supertom]

And I'd agree with VK on Tom Cleverley. Really don't see the fuss with him. He's not Utd quality by any stretch. He's pretty decent, but I don't see him being a regular in a side chasing titles at home and in Europe.

[Dave]

I do think he's still got it in him to play in the top flight though.

I can't see anywhere where he would be first choice, so he'd just be swapping our reserves for someone else's bench.

Maybe he's a bit better than McGregor at Hull or Boruc at Southampton but most teams have better keepers already.

Exactly. On the plane to Brazil with what will quite probably be the worst England squad to leave these shores. And that's assuming we even qualify. I can only drool over a midfield of Henderson, Shelvey and Cleverley

Yep the fact that we're discussing young English "talent" like Shelvey, Cleverley, previously Spearing, Rodwell (pick of the bunch), Henderson and more doesn't bode well for the national team. Particularly if you look back ten, fifteen years at the sort of midfielders we had available. (Likewise every other position).

Our Youth team and reserves keep on winning things so in comparison to most other clubs we've got good pickings of domestic talent. I hope we develop them right for the sake of our side and the national sides. Ireland particularly could really benefit from our youngsters at the minute.

Possibly. The gooners could actually do a lot worse than Given. I'm surprised they didn't finally take Schwarzer for a year. I don't rate any of their stoppers at all.

I'd certainly fancy Shay to have better options than Donny in any case.

The only people on that plane I'd feel confident of doing their job will be the pilot and cabin crew.
