The chances of Palace coughing up £10M+ for Shelvey are nil. |  | |  |

In the interest of balance if we're willing to let Ben go when someone offers up his 'market price' then why isn't that the same for Shelvey?
Shelvey is a better player higher up the pitch, and if we're getting Siggy in then there's no worry about replacing his goals. Would rather get a natural DM along Leon. |
It is not up to us to be "willing" to let him go. I don't think you'll find many who wanted or were willing for Ben to be sold. Shelvey and Gylfi are two different types of players, despite them both being able to fill the number 10 role. Shelvey is in the Gerrard mould, while Gylfi is in the Rooney mould, in my humble. |  |

I really like the idea of a Britton, Shelvey and Sigurdsson midfield personally. Dyer and Routledge on the flanks, Bony up top with Gomis as an option from the bench.
Could see a lot of goals coming from that. Especially if we added Payet to the mix too. | | | |

I really can't see Gomis coming here and sitting on the bench. I'd be staggered if that is how it plays out. And before anyone mentions it, yes, i'm fully aware that Bony will be off to that tinpot cup. | |

Shelvey atm is in 2014 Gerrard mould, not 2001. Too many times he collects it deep and then is forced to try to ping a ball out to a man out wide, unsuccessfully. Ferrie Bodde was class at that.
JJS is far better arriving late into the box or playing more intricate, slider rule passes further up the field. |  |

Bony could move on this window though obviously. | | | |

Gylfi, JDG, Payet and Montero in.
Ki to go, along with Poz and Canas hopefully.
I'd be happy with:
Fabianski / Tremmel
Rangel / Tiendalli
Taylor / Kingsley
Ash / Amat
Chico / Bartley
Britton / Fulton
JDG / Shelvey
Gylfi / Payet
Routledge / Emnes
Montero / Dyer
Bony / Gomis
In an ideal world, we'd have better than Tiendalli and Tremmel, plus a better 3rd striker option than Emnes, but I'd be pretty confident with that squad to start the season. | |

I'd be delighted if we brought Montero, Sigurdsson, Payet and JDG in although you'd have to be concerned by the lack of quality cover defensively. Hopefully, we've got a right back lined up too-possibly this lad from France. | | | |

Lol can people stop slagging off palace... when I go on other forums (Sunderland, Saints etc) and see them putting down Swansea etc 'why would anyone want to go to Swansea?' etc I think what tw@ts. Like it or not Palace did better than us last season. I would say we (along with 8th - 17th) are all very similar, it is not crazy that players would want to leave one club in that bracket for another.
Anyway don't want to lose Jonjo and don't think he will go. |  | | |

Aye, if Gylfi does indeed sign, then i'd agree with you.
And i also agree that we may yet see Bony go. | |

Timothée Kolodziejczak is the player we've been linked to I believe | | | |

I'd like us to get some cover in defensively as well tbh, RB and a DM maybe a CH as well, doubt all 3 will happen though, maybe 1. |  |

You are by far one of my favourite people on here.
Whenever I question the sanity of PlanetSwans, you and a select few others pop up and speak sense. |  |

"I thought the whole idea of monk as manager was to retain our principles and systems which at the time i thought a bit daft as we were worked out good and proper on that front second half of Brendan s season. "
That would be the second half of the season when we beat Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City, and won four away games, something which we didn't manage to all in the first half of that season. Sign me up for some more of that please. |
Yeah fair point bit being more specific the last 9 games with only 2 wins, including a Liverpool team already on the beach.
Teams started defending deeper against us second half of the season, Arsenal,Liverpool and man city were quite prepared to play their game giving us less a less tactical approach which suited us perfect in our system.
Those same teams give us alot more respect These days and the so called lesser teams of which we Are one set up to stop us playing our game.
Palace at home,wba at home,hull at home ,west ham at home etc
This is my opinion of course . |  | | |

Not really. He scored most of his goals from long range efforts from outside the box.
I don't understand the Bodde reference. Shelvey is a much better player and has the potential to be an excellent box-to-box midfielder for us.
The Ben Davies deal is also completely irrelevant. |  |

Outside of the box is further up the field last time I checked. He doesn't score long range efforts from his own half.
Bodde was class at pinging balls out from deep on to a sixpence, he could place it on the wingers foot with ease. Shelvey is not so good at doing that.
We will/have sold Ben Davies because someone met his value and we decided to cash in to the benefit of the team. Complete hypocrisy to shout about holding on to JJS (a bright prospect) if someone made an offer above his value, especially if we can/will replace his goals (with Siggy) and use the money to get a more natural DM. | |

So your comment about "arriving late in the box" is in fact a load b*llocks then? Got it. Believe it or not there isn't a glass wall between the middle of the field and the edge of the box.
Yeah class in the Championship. I'm sure Shelvey could do the same in that league. His long range passing improved drastically in the second half of the season as he became accustomed to playing the deeper role.
I don't think anyone sane is suggesting we keep hold of Shelvey if someone offers well above his market value though your argument about replacing his production is a bit moot really. You're using two players to justify letting Shelvey go. Gylfi will replace JdG's goals. | |

You're just picking holes to keep the gimmick up now. I have stated clearly he is a better player up the field, where some times he arrives late in the box, and where some times he likes to shoot outside of it as well. Both of which he can not do inside his own half.
It was a basic example of a player who can perform that skill well, regardless of the level. The skill remains the same whatever the league is.
Gylfi could easily replace the goals of both De Guzman and JJS (10 in the league). | |

I would agree if things were still the way things were, and that's why I think we'll be trying a new formation. Either 442 with both strikers on and Siggy on the bench. Or even a 4312 to accomodate them all.
But the 4312, it's not something I expect to see every week. But I agree that I'd like to see Britton, Siggy and JJS all on together, if we had that AND Bony and Gomis up top, there could be fireworks. | |

He very rarely "arrives late in the box". It's not one of his strengths and never has been. Your argument is falling apart here.
Thanks for that rather pointless anecdote.
What are the conclusions from this debate? | |

Ah ok, we've got to the point where you're hanging on to a certain phrase or spelling now.
Well no, not if he's playing as the deepest play maker, which is the point. If he's playing at AM then he's naturally creating plays and moving towards/late into the box as it develops, which suits him better.
Nothing like the neglect of your own, you've stated that he could be an excellent 'box to box' midfielder, while going on to say that he rarely arrives late into the oppositions box as it's not his strength. Clue is in the terminology really, unless he's training to break all sorts of sprint records and get in the box before anyone else.
Not pointless at all, a fabulous comparison of different skill sets. | |

Shelvey is an essex boy so Palace would have a bigger appeal to him than other players. | | | |
