      Best of luck Jonjo, he'll be worth double that price with a full season of first team football under his belt.

      He's 21. Still a kid. A bit naive. Some mature quickly and some takes time. Shelvey is from the later I guess. The guy's quality. He takes risk on the pitch, make things happen, can score unlike Henderson In the process, he may lose the ball sometimes but got the vision and awareness. Was awesome at the start of the season. Loves the club, the city. If Allen perform badly this season as well, I bet he won't be sold.

      We got rid of him way, way too early.

      Hendo actually scored a goal more than Jonjo last season. Agree we got rid too early a loan deal would have been a better option for a player with his potential. Perhaps he looked for a transfer so he could play more regular football.

      Good luck to him, hopefully there is a buy back clause! This move will do him good, hopefully he will learn to control himself more on the pitch!

      Always felt he had too much self belief. Great potential but I wasn't always convinced. Brendan gave him a real shot to prove himself worthy last summer and unfortunately he couldn't take it. Wish him all the best, genuinely do. However, not all that sad to see him leave.

      Good luck Shelvey lad, hope you do well with the Swans.

      I think that Shelvey has the potential to be a top player,  I think we should have waited and sent him out on loan.  The end product I believe will be between a Danny Murphy and a Frank Lampard.

      I personally think he's been shipped on permanently a little early. Would have liked to see him loaned out and get a regular full season under his belt at a club like Palace then possibly re-evaluate as to if he had a future with us. That said maybe Jonjo felt it wasn't the route he wanted to go down with what's happened to loaned out players over the last few seasons. Maybe he thought it would be just prolonging the inevitable.

      Good luck lad, has the potential to be one that got away. I hope for our sakes it isn't.

      Nice to see his tweets post transfer. Respectful. YNWA

      How much are good young English midfielders worth these days? I think Swansea who normally buy smart have picked up a bargain. He isn't the finished article but is very young and has talent + swagger to his game.

      Good luck Jonjo. Was going to struggle for game time with us next season. Especially with our lack of European football. All money into out kitty for players Brendan does feel will add to the playing XI, so good news all round.

      Good luck Jonjo

      Think he deserved another year and I hope we've installed a buy back clause or at the very least a sell on clause.

      Personally I think Shelvey will get better at Swansea, and every time he scores a goal, there will be someone saying we let him go too soon. Still, I don't think he'll ever develop into a player that would actually command a starting place at LFC - or any team aiming for the top. Since we couldn't really provide him enough game time for his development, I think it's only fair that we let him go, although a buy-back clause certainly wouldn't hurt. Not too bothered he's gone to be frank but I liked the lad so it's always a bit sad to see a player like that leave.

      Anyone see how affected Jonjo was by his mistakes, he looked like a man full of sorrow in his post match interview. Looked like he was gonna start crying at the start of the second half too.

      He was a bit of a n*b head with the celebrating etc....  As much as I loved Jonjo you just didn't know what Jonjo was going to come out and play.

      He was rightly moved on and he'll be boss in a set up like Swansea.

      Had a hand in all 4 goals. More than he ever did at Liverpool.

      He barely even celebrated! If you saw the goals he scored for us you'd know how he celebrates and its not casually putting his arms up a bit, he barely even cracked a smile! Anyway, who cares if he goes ahead and celebrates? On the pitch their is no time for sentiment, if he had been at the club for ages and played a big part fair enough I'd hate to see him celebrate against us but he wasn't and he didn't. He barely even celebrated when Michu scored, Michu was trying to get him to.

      He had a good game, showed his inexperrience that he showed with us at times but we went too easy on him, we allowed him too much time and space but then again it was like that with all their players.

      I think Jonjo will be one of those players who never quite makes that stepup to a brilliant footballer,his heart is all there but at times he lacks that little bit of finesse.Give the lad his due when he played for us he  did his best, and though he was playing for Swansea he did his best for us or we might not of got 2 goals.

      What a goal by Jonjo!!  Still have a soft spot for the lad, and I honestly wouldn't mind if we bought him back off Swansea.  YNWA Jonjo!!
