Not as bad as the constant clamour in the Cockney press for Jack Wilshere to be in the squad. Atleast Shelvey isnt a sicknote so he might actually play.
 
Can do that champagne long ball time and time again, but doesnt offer enough to warrant going there in my opinion like....

Would be targeted and sent off as has the brains of Joey Barton
 
Think we have Henderson, Dier, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wilshire, Winks and Loftus-Cheek ahead of him in the pecking order.

Shelvey is one of the best passers of the ball we have but off the ball he is a liability. I don't think we can afford to hve him in the side to be honest.
 
Decent player but wouldn’t have him in England squad.
Saying that I remember posters on here saying they’d prefer cattermole to Shelvey :lol:
 
Talksport seem to have and agenda to push him for World Cup squad, as he is getting a mention every other day.

Does anyone think he should go?

IMO I would say no, he is very poor defensively if he was to be playing in a holding midfield role alongside Henderson/Dier. Not consistent enough. Liability at times both with his temperament and work rate. Don't think he would fit into any system unless it involved dropping Kane for Vardy, which isn't going to happen

No he shouldn't but he has proved me wrong this season and has been very good. I always thought he had good vision but expected him to be positionally poor and defensively weak and he hasn't been.
 
Re. Shelvey's temperament; hasn't been booked since December. Has less bookings than Harry Kane this season.
Not as bad as made out.
 
Has a good footballing brain but is brainless if that makes any sense. Should definitely be in the England squad though.
