‘Should be nowhere near our starting 11’ – Some NUFC fans tear into 29-yr-old after Brighton defeat

Despite his immense ability, Shelvey has failed to produce consis...
‘Up there with the best’ – Pundit drools over 28-yr-old Newcastle star who’s ‘as good as there is’ in the PL
Pundit John Giles has urged Manchester City to sign Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle United.

Midfielder claims Newcastle teammate could play for Barcelona if he was focused
Matt Ritchie has heaped praise on his Newcastle teammate Jonjo Shelvey. According to the 30-year-old versatile Newcastle star, Shelvey could play for the likes of Barcelona if he stays focused. As per Ritchie, the Newcastle central midfielder has exceptional ability and he could blow teams away if he played for the La Liga giants.

He said (quotes via Chronicle): “I remember playing against him as a kid – I think he scored a hat-trick, he was unbelievable. “He’s got his moves – ending up at Newcastle.
