I don't really get the Pratley comparison. Pratley was a top class athlete who had a season at no.10 and came up with the goods. He was never a superb 'footballer' like Shelvey, who's capable of mixing it up and playing a variety of styles and roles. He's a far better footballer than Pratley, more alike to a certain Ferrie Bodde.

Massively impressive debut.

For me it was his stature and the way he runs box to box which is the comparison with Pratley (and before anyone says it he's streets ahead of him!) but with the ability for the cross field ball/long range shot like Bodde. Something we've lacked for seasons!

Great player, his got some Steven Gerrard over him,
he adds a new dimension to our team with his passing abilities,
his a young player and he is bound to make a few mistakes
so we have to be patient with him.

'Kin ell :) I wish I could bump the original thread too, I was one of the few who welcomed Shelvey with open arms and obviously one of the few who remembers how important Pratley was to us at times. There is absolutely no doubt that they are the same type of player and like I said JJ is Premier League quality.

His long passes are brilliant and if there is one man who can bring on Jonjo's "put it on a plate" technique its ML, who, let's face it was one of the greatest ever at putting a perfectly weighted long pass in front of an attacking player. I love the fact that he will try a shot or take people on.

Compare that with Ki's reluctance to shoot lately and occasional ponderance and you get to appreciate how good he is. Not that im saying that Ki is rubbish, but the difference between a good player like Ki and a dynamic player like Jonjo is noticable. It wont all be plain sailing, mistakes will happen but I'm pretty confident that he will get it right far more than he will get it wrong and there will be a few moments of genius in the next few months from our shiny bonced midfield general.

Agree with all the positives but he doesn't half give the ball away A LOT. My fear is better teams will take advantage and his confidence will plummet.
Still .. early days.

Shelvey on 23:12 - Aug 1 by Chief

seems im the only 1 who wasn't overly impressed, he did ok, only started to play well when their midfield gave up in the 2nd half, when they put him under pressure, he gave the ball away stupidly a few times and tried to do too much a few times too.

having said that, his long passing when he had time was good and he had a few long shots which was a nice change. could come good, but he wont have as much time against prem league midfielders


No clue as to why this post has a -3 score (at the time of writing) it's the most accurate description of his performance on this thread.

This "like/dislike" system is f*cking asinine and is more like Facebook than a forum. No doubt he'd have had a positive score had he called him the next Steven Gerrard and talked about he he's proved all his doubters wrong before the Premier League campaign is underway.

No doubt he will develop better under ML than BR IMO.

But he got mad eyes. He could be a 2010+ Cantona =)

Decent debut. Needs to learn that the longer pass isn't always the best option, but looks like a worthy addition based on that.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Looked very good and is obviously a good player. You have to take into consideration the standard of oppo whilst judging though.

A Liverpool fan said after we signed him that you'll get pissed off with the amount of wayward shots and there was evidence of that last night.

Hes young though and I'm sure will get better in our team.

Has added something to us that we haven't had before - shooting from outside box/long passes/driving midfielder. By no means the complete player but very impressive first game. Gives the ball away on ocassions, but looking like 5 million well spent. A definite postive addition


He reminds me of Ferrie Bodde!! He would have been some player and it looks like Shelvey will be a fantastic signing for us!

Most of all Shelvey reminded me of Stefan Effenberg, when he was in his peak playing for Bayern Munich. The attitude, the vision, the long passing and the obvious madness in his eyes!
Shelvey under Laudrups guidance --> he's bound to be a legend, maybe not just for Swansea, but also for England XI - could become a World class player as I mentioned Effernberg and the likes of him before...

Success is temporary - loyalty is forever...

Was skeptical about him joining at first, but what a great game the lad had last night, tons of potential and he doesn't seem afraid to shoot.
Think we've bagged ourselves another bargain.

Very pleased with Shelvey. Adds another dimension to our midfield, excellent long pass and will score goals from outside the box.

Shelvey on 12:46 - Aug 2 with 3017 viewsNeath_Jack

I don't care how many wayward shots he takes, it's a massive refreshing sight to see some of our players actually having a go. Sooner or later some of these blockbusters are going to fly into the net. He hates losing the ball in contact, and is like a man possessed trying to win it straight back, no doubt this will lead to some cards over the season. A bit sloppy in

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

I think he had a good game overall and definitely gives us something different. However, I think in the centre of midfield he takes too many touches. If you watch the others, Britton in particular, he takes a few touches max and then passes it on. Good start though - I'm sure ML will sort him out.
