Inglorius Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Jonjo Shelvey: Newcastle's £12m buy the best value - study Jonjo Shelvey (left) has been capped four times by England Newcastle's £12m purchase of Swansea midfielder Jonjo Shelvey was the best-value signing of the January transfer window, according to a study. Analysis from the CIES Football Observatory says the 23-year-old England international is worth £23.5m. Its data suggests Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande paid £18.43m too much when they spent £31m on Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez. Bournemouth are said to have overspent on £7m Norwich striker Lewis Grabban. According to the CIES research team, which analyses transfers in Europe's big five leagues, that was more than £6m too much.

That move went through on 27 January, the same day Chinese club Jiangsu Suning signed Brazil midfielder Ramires. The 28-year-old moved in a deal believed to be worth about £25m, which the CIES study claims is more than £8.3m more than his value.

Anon Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I don't know how they're getting their figures, but I'd have to assume they're factoring in the usual exaggerated fees for young english players. Shelvey is still only 23 though and he doesn't seem to get injured. I like him a lot, but he needs to decide where he wants to play. If he's going to sit as deep as he normally likes he must improve his defensive play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansea ram Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Swansea couldn't wait to get rid of him, although Dyer to Fester, now that's a different story. that could cost them their Prem spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 The fact Swansea couldn't wait to get rid and to a man think they robbed Newcastle blind suggests that time may show him to not be that good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicME85 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Andros was always going to be too much, Levy is the master of getting cash out of clubs for his players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Shelvey has the ability/attributes to be the most influential English midfield of the next decade. I thought £12m was an absolute steal. Also, it makes me wonder what might have been had we gone up under McClaren, as I'd always hoped we could start to sign players of that quality. Really, Shelvey and change or Johnson, Butterfield and Blackman? I know what I'd have preferred in terms of a step change in the quality of the team, rather than just bulking out the squad.

RicME85 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Problem is Shelvey is a 'billy big b0llocks' and is poisonous in a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterRam Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I would have said Austin to Southampton was the best trade this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
