Sporadic moments of brilliance aside Shelvey is shite tbh.
He's not shite at all, not too far off someone like Cabaye, I'd take him over Henderson too. Infinitely better than a clown like Milner who loads of folks seemed to want us to sign as a backup.
That being said, I don't think he has the defensive qualities to play alongside Ramsey and he's not good enough going forward to play alongside Coquelin, so he'd be a bit pointless as a backup.
