Jonjo Shelvey has been on the verge of becoming England’s next greatest midfielder for a few years now.

Swansea appeared to be the perfect fit for the player but despite scoring some wonderful goals and putting on a few exquisite performances, he couldn’t quite be the key man Swansea hoped he would be. There was unprofessional conduct, bookings and suspensions, and general self-destructive behaviour. Early on in the season, there was a feeling that the player had finally come of age as he was putting on solid performances which also prompted Roy Hodgson to recall him to the England national team.
