You Heard It Here First

[Mince n Tatties]

Fulham and Newcastle lining up swap deal with Cairney going North and Jonjo Shelvey heading South.

[HillingdonFFC]

Could really see this happening because I've heard that Shelvey is on a list of players Ranieri gave Tony Khan. Also think its fairly evident CR not overly sold on Cairney, doesnt work hard enough without the ball

[Moltobueno]

well if that happens, newcastle will be the only winner here

Whys that? Shelvey has done it in the Premier league & despite being a big Tom Cairney fan I'm having serious doubts about his ability to make the step up.
TC great with the ball at his feet but hes a borderline liablity without it.

Can´t stand the thug. Shelve this idea.

[Andyb]

Be amazing swap for us

[elgreenio]

wouldn't be surprised to see this happen.

The only way he stays and is useful is in a 4-3-3 which doesn't seem to be how CR wants to play, and TC cannot play in a midfield 2.

On paper it looks good but obviously never quite happened :

Chambers - screen in front of the defence
Seri - the mix between the two, able to get around the pitch and make an influence on both sides of the ball
TC - responsible for getting forward and being at the heart of our creative play in the final third

Look at his stats, 28 yellows and 4 reds in  180 premier league games, hardly a thug...

Why is he a thug?because he shows a bit of passion.

Yep & a London (well Romford anyway) lad too. Lot of people think hes the best English passer of a ball & a bit more dynamic than Cairney when not in possession.
Love Tom but think the writings on the wall, not unless Ranieri wants to bin Tony Khans marquee signing in Seri & I cant see that

[Woolly Mammoth]

Unless he gets his act together, If Tom is going to cop the hump for one reason or another then sadly it may be time to consider his future.
I would take Shelvey, a really passionate competitor and has the potential to be a class act under the right manager.

Based on his cameo performances yesterday I would have to vehemently disagree with you

If he can behave himself Shelvey is a very good player. Should have been in the last World Cup squad.

I would have thought that we'd get change out of this deal until yesterday. But that's only one performance of course, albeit an important one.

Mr. Hillingdon, I'm sure we'd all be interested to know who else might be on that list.

Based on 17 minutes of football vs the rest of the 951 minutes he's played this season?

Based on 17 minutes of football vs the 11,308 minutes of competitive football he's played in a white shirt?

:54:  yeah top stuff there fella, keep it up.

Seems, to my memory at least, Cairney has some form regarding 'petulance', if that is the all embracing correct word to describe what he tends towards.  However, in his defence, I would suggest the current midfield is hardly set up to accommodate his style.  As others have asked I'd also love to know who is on Ranieri's January list, because, at the moment, I just do not see us getting out of trouble any time soon.

Regardless whether or not  it's his style or playing out of position, one of the continued moans for want of a better word is not putting in the effort, IF he is throwing a sulk then he should be ashamed of himself.

I know who would be on my list apart from Jonjo Shelvey........there is ......
Nathanial Clyne, Gary Cahill, Danny Drinkwater, Jermaine Defoe, Victor Moses to name but a few.
To help get us out of the bottom three.

We spent nearly £30m on Frank, surely we can tempt Stoke to let us have Joe Allen for £20m??
