‘Comparing himself to Gazza?’ – These Newcastle fans slam 27yo after recent comments

|

We all know just how good Jonjo Shelvey can be on his day with his sublime passing range and ability to unlock a defence, but the midfielder has been labelled as lazy and has recently done an interview with The Daily Mail to share his views and dispute that claim.

The midfield man shed light on a number of things, claiming that he almost left the club this summer for West Ham but Newcastle blocked it and that he’s now playing for a new contract, however, the claim that really caught the fan’s eyes is a comparison to Paul Gascoigne.

Shelvey claimed that football isn’t all about running and used Gazza as an example of that, something that plenty of Geordies have now taken an issue with.

You can see what they’ve had to say here:

The Magpies aren’t best pleased with Shelvey’s comments and will be keen to see him earn his place back and show what he can do.
