A lot of Newcastle United fans have responded to a tweet from NUFC 360, which has relayed quotes made by Jonjo Shelvey on Martin Dubravka.
The former Liverpool midfielder speaking on In The Box picked the Slovakian as the best goalkeeper he has ever played with and claimed that eventually Dubravka ‘will get a massive move to a top European club.’ (3:30)
This did not go down well with these Toon fans who are fuming with Shelvey’s comments.
Do you agree with Shelvey about Dubravka?
Yes, he deserves a move
No, he has to stay with us
Jonjo Shelvey: “I do eventually think Martin Dubravka will get a massive massive move to a top European club.” #nufc

For such a crucial player as Dubravka is and for how much he goes under the radar, these comments from Shelvey are not ideal…

Shut it Jonjo ? coming from a player who can pick out two good passes per game then just stands around and doesn’t track back

Shelvey, is an overrated failure at every club he has been to. 2 good games a season against poor opposition maximum

What do we think?
Dubravka has made the most saves in the Premier League this season (117) and is he has performed well in other aspects of goalkeeping this season.
Signed initially on loan from Sparta Prague the Toon made the deal for Dubravka permanent in the summer of 2018 for just £3.6m, and since then he has earned himself a new six-year contract.
The contract could keep Dubravka on Tyneside for a long time, but we understand why these Toon fans are unhappy with Shelvey’s comments.
