Shelvey to Blackpool

[Modo]

Cheer up, he's getting games and it's only a three month loan.

Our Jonjo is too good for the championship. We should have sent him on loan to a premiership club. Same with Pacecho, Surely Norwich wanted him again??

Premiership would obviously have been more ideal but the Championship is pretty competitive this season. Plenty of good teams.

 

[dee]

Fucking hell - He's being loaned for three months with a 4 week recall clause.

Not the end of the world! He's fifth choice and so we won't miss him for a couple of months.

Leaving Liverpool for Pool

You'll know the name Ince and I've been able to get hold of the next one off the production line.

Paul's lad Tom left Liverpool for us during the summer in the hope of first-team football, which shows guts in itself.

He is only 18 but was terrific on his full debut for us last weekend. He is still a little raw, and needs to shoot more, but I am quite excited by what I see in him.

His old man should be very proud and I reckon we will be hearing a lot more of the name Ince in the next few years.

And I'm delighted to have brought in another Liverpool player, Jonjo Shelvey, this week. He has joined us on loan for three months and it brings an end to a long chase because I've been after him since the summer.

The lad has pace, skill and an eye for a goal from midfield and I've been a fan of his ever since he burst on to the scene at Charlton Athletic as a 16-year-old.

He's only 19 now but there was a reason Liverpool signed him – and I'm hoping he will show Blackpool fans just exactly what that reason is over the next few weeks.

Jonjo scored a cracking 40 yard free kick yesterday as Blackpool buried Bristol. They're raving about Shelvey's debut.

 

[Richey]

Its potentially a good deal for us.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of it, Shelvey was not playing and it seemed unlikely he would break into the first team any time soon.

He'll get games at Blackpool, and in a side that is among the better ones in their division. That should help him in terms of confidence, probably more than if he was thrown into a relegation battle in the Premier League.

The terms of the loan are encouraging too by the sound of it.

 

[Ryan]

United sent Cleverley on loan to Wigan last season and look what it did for him getting regular football. Similarly Arsenal did it the year before with Wilkshere to Bolton.

It's the right move, so stop fucking moaning peoples.

 

[ILD]

I think people didn't want him to drop down a division Ryan. I suppose it's better to play in the championship where he'll be in an attacking team than in a team in the premiership fighting for relegation.

 

[Ryan]

He's just better off playing games Dave; doesn't really matter where at this stage.

 

[ILD]

Yep. I rate him and have high hopes for him.

 

[Ryan]

He doesn't 'do' enough. All the talent in the world, yet he seems content to stroll through games, which I find rustrating.

Hopefully it's just a youthful innocence or soemthing, cos I'd really like to see him go out there and grab the game by the scruff of the neck.

 

[ILD]

Ah that's a bit harsh in my opinion. I didn't get the impression he wanted to coast by or stroll through games anyway.

I think he'll shine in the championship, he's probably above that level already IMO.

Whether he can get games with us is another question. Kenny used him a lot last year but the arrival of Henderson and Adam has pushed him down the pecking order. Only time will tell.

 

[Ryan]

His youtube compilations would be amazing, but I bet you he's never put togethor an amazing 90 minute perofrmance in his life. Probably not even a 45 minute one, and that's my point.

But yeah, he's young, time will tell etc etc...

Brett Ormerod hailed the display of debutant Jonjo Shelvey in the aftermath of Saturday's comprehensive victory over Bristol City.

The veteran was forced to watch most of the 90 minutes from the substitutes' bench and from there he witnessed a man of the match display from the loan signing.

The performance came as no surprise to Ormerod, with the striker having already come up against the 19-year-old when the youngster was at Charlton.

"Jonjo Shelvey came in on Friday and trained and I remember playing against him when he was at Charlton a couple of years ago and he was their best player.

"He's got great fitness and he's an attacking midfielder who can do something a bit different, he can run at defenders and as you saw with his goal he can score goals - I think he'll be a great addition," he said.

 

[Mystic]

Shelvey looked awesome against Bristol, looked a class above them all. If he keeps that up for the rest of the games there he could force Kenny to make a decision when he's back. I think these games are exactly what he needs to push his way into the first team.

 

[peterhague]

I don't understand any negativity over this loan move. He's not ready to start for us yet, and he needs games: it's a no-brainer. We should be doing more of this, not less. Why isn't Danny Wilson, for example, not on loan as well?

 

[FoxForceFive]

I can't believe people are moaning cos he's doing well.

Surely that's the entire fucking point of a loan?!

Well, at least he'll be getting plenty of fresh air up there by the seaside

Kenny Dalglish has revealed how Liverpool keep a watchful eye on their players lent to other teams, and believes that it won't be long before the Reds are reaping the benefits of the loan system in place at Anfield.

Jonjo Shelvey became the seventh player to leave the club when he joined Npower Championship side Blackpool last week, and the promising youngster wasted no time in making an impact after he scored a stunning free-kick on his Bloomfield Road debut.

Dalglish is adamant that each of the temporary deals provide a range of benefits for both player and club alike, and is confident that Shelvey's switch can have a fundamental role in the midfielder's development.

"It's helpful to everybody," he said. "Jonjo's a very promising player for us, but the difficulty for us is to get him a game.

"He needs games and it's a fantastic opportunity for Jonjo to do that. Blackpool have got a good quality player and it's educational for us because we'll get to see him play.

"It'll also be educational for Jonjo because he's playing at a good level with a good club - and another real bonus for him is he doesn't have to move house.

"It is important for us to use as many opportunities as we can to develop the players - if we can't give them games here, then we've got to look to get them playing somewhere else.

"The loan system has got various options to it that you can use it for. In Jonjo's case, it is purely for his development and benefit, and also for our benefit.

"There are benefits for everybody, but the most important thing is it is helpful for the players and if they can't get a game here, then if it's possible we'll put them out on loan."

Sounds very much like he's got a future with us to me. I'd love to see him break into the first team when he gets back! It's easy to forget that he'd only 19.

IAN Holloway thanked the Blackpool fans for sticking by his team in last night’s last-gasp 2-1 victory over Doncaster ... even if he was booed for one of his substitutions.

Part of the crowd didn’t like the manager’s decision to bring off Jonjo Shelvey early in the second half and made their feelings known.

At the time, the Seasiders were trailing 1-0 and looking lacklustre.

But Holloway’s triple swap, which included bringing Tom Ince on for Shelvey, paid dividends.

Ince scored two goals, including a fantastic late winner, to steal the points.

Holloway said: “I got a bit of stick for taking Shelvey off, but that is what I get paid my money for and the bloke I replaced him with scored two.

“But that’s fair enough and I thought the fans really were terrific. The first half wasn’t great, yet when the whistle went at half-time they applauded us and stayed right behind us. We need that.

“Everyone is expecting big things here. We all want to do well again but it is really difficult for these boys because they are a new group.

“I don’t think people realise how hard this season is going to be for everybody at the club. We have to start again fresh.”

So, Fabio, he's getting hauled off after 50 mins in the championship already eh....?

Re: Shelvey to Blackpool

A tricky winger will always cause more problems against a team who park the bus.

Fresh legs and all that

 

[ILD]

The Blackpool fans love the baldy one already. Obviously.

 

[peterhague]

it's ironic that he was substituted for tom ince, another ex liverpool youngster. at least, it is according to alanis morisette.
