Would Jonjo Shelvey be worth a punt? (2 Viewers)

He's training with Burnley at the moment, would he be worth signing on a free? I know he's nearly 33 but we have been crying out for a bit more creativity and experience.

Maybe. It would be a bald move though.

i couild be wrong, but i always feel that older pros are looking for their last contract before sailing off into the sunset, there wont be any real desire for a player like him to push the team onward, hes been there and done it before.

 

[clint van damme]

He'd be a great signing, but he's not coming here.

 

[skybluecam]

He’s signing for Burnley isn’t he.

 

[SkyBlueSteve81]

He's training with Burnley trying to earn a contract but nothing signed yet according to the news article I read.

100% id take him but he would easily get a bigger club than us

Dennis Wise, Gary McAllister.

I get your point though...for every Wise/McAllister, there's a Joe Cole, Yakubu and a few others.

Poor man’s Jamie Paterson

Tim Sherwood's always the first to spring to my mind when thinking of over the hill pros stealing a wage

I swear Yakubu was in his 60's when he signed for us

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

He’d be a quality signing, but can’t see us paying the wages he’d want

100% stay well clear of Shelvey would be an utter disaster. Past it, injury prone and attitude problem. Not sure he has played much in last few years and only managed 6 games this season. Not a solution.

I think I've told this story on here before but I met Yakubu in a nightclub on the outskirts of Chichester when he was at Pompey...must have been early-mid noughties.

I was a few beers to the worse and walked to him and said 'so when are you joining Coventry City then Yak'. He looked at me as if I just sh!t on his trainers and one of his entourage motioned as if to say 'move on pal'.

Little did I know that he took on board that question and answered it many years later. Albeit well passed his prime!

I heard he's going to Wigan

Only one problem he never played for us although he was on the pitch
