Getting rid of Shelvey

[toptoon]

He didn't want to go. He wanted a contract. He would have stayed at Newcastle had we offered him one.

Thank Christ we didn’t then.

Shelvey would have been worth £500k a week if it meant us getting to the champs league. Looks at the contracts players at the big teams are on.

We need stop trying to buy young guys on low salaries. We just won't compete otherwise.

[toptoon]

Average age at NUFC - 27.2 (14 teams in the league have a younger average).
Botman, Isak and Bruno (22,23 and 25). I’m happy we bought them.

[GBruno]

Yes I am pleased we bought them too, but we lack experience. I would happily have a player like Casimero on £300k a week.

I may be mistaken but wasn't the Forest contract better than the one he had here ?

Glad hes gone.

Tried to like him but you couldn't rely on him.

1 good game in 6 and always injured/toys out the pram.

We did the right thing - get iver the line in top 4 and see who comes innthis Summer. Better than that lad.

Fk sake, are you comparing Shelvey to Casimero?

[Sclox]

...maybe I picked that up wrong.

No. Just saying our wage structure is going to have to change to compete. We got rid of Shelvey when we needed him and we should have paid him accordingly.
