Shelvey Plays Again
Jonjo Shelvey won his third England cap against Switzerland at Wembley as they secured their place as group winners with a 2-0 win taking their record to eight wins from eight,.
Shelvey has certainly done himself the world of good in this international break with two solid performances at the heart of the English midfield and it will be interesting to see if he retains his place next month when some of the injured midfielders will return.
It will be extremely tough for Roy Hodgson to leave him out of the squad given his two performances and Shelvey will definitely now be very much in the reckoning for a place in their squad next summer.
It has taken him long enough to be called up and it is brilliant for him as a player that he has grasped his chance and the better news for us is of course that he will need to retain those performance levels to keep his place and that will benefit us massively.
Well done Jonjo and now for Watford.
What to read next:
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
