Hopefully but its just at the enquiry stage. I'm sure Shelvey will want this move if it happens, give him a chance to prove himself in the prem.

Please get a decent price.

I still think he will develop into a good player. He is still young enough to come good. I dont see the point in selling any young player until they hit 22-23. By that time you will know if they will be good enough, and you will get a better price than for a teenager, as they will be ready for first team football. I cant imagine their wages are that much of a burden, and if so, more reason to loan them out.

He has just hit 21, so I think a season out on loan, and then see what he has learned the next preseason, and if he is not up to scratch, sell him. I do not think the price we would fetch for him now will make that much of a difference to who we can buy anyway.

Agreed...100%

had high hopes for him - he has some ability but he hasn't quite kicked on or taken his chances

if we sign mkhsyrsytrenannrean then i'd take £5m for Shelvey with some sort of buy back option and sell on clause

[spider-neil]

Loan him out but if we are really tight for money and 5m is the difference between getting a quality player or not then take the money.

I tend to agree. I think at the minute we need to get as many funds as we can to improve the first team - Shelvey needs experience we can't afford to give him IMO. A loan might provide that but going down that route would leave us with less to spend now.

If we get offered anything near £8m we need to take it - may not get that kind of offer again. He has had ample opportunities here and not really fitted into this new style.

+1.

If they offered £5m I'd take it.

I'd get rid, he doesn't have the [Rafa] mentality [/Rafa].

Any player that is in and around the first team but gets knocked down to reserve level but still gives 100% (as Jonjo does) has the right mentality.
It's not his mentality that is the problem (imho) it's his lack of mobility and his wastefulness in front of goal. A major problem for a player whose best position is attacking midfield.

Yep completely agree. He's just turned 21 FFS. Okay he's no Coutinho but he could develop into a very good player. His problems IMO are his inability to resist acting on instinct *all the time* and he seems to have a bit of an ego. I like his confidence but he needs to make sure it doesn't become unwarranted arrogance.

[The Birdman]

No chance of us selling him IMO, 1st thing Rodgers did was give him a new 4 or 5 year deal.
Get him out on loan for a season, all he lacks is experience
