Cork Delight For Shelvey Over England Call

It may well be just a coincidence but the form of Shelvey has improved since Jack Cork arrived and that seemed to be the missing part of a jigsaw that has looked complete ever since.

Shelvey was much criticised by Garry Monk around the turn of the year and there were many at that point in time that didn’t expect him to be here at this point in time. The Swans signed Cork from Southampton and it all changed as Shelvey knuckled down and did what was asked of him where Cork has appeared in every Premier League game since – only failing to start at Chelsea on the opening day of the season.

Shelvey’s form has been rewarded this week with a call up into the national squad to take on San Marino and Switzerland and Cork should be part of that squad as well. While he is playing down those chances there are few midfielders that have the calmness and composure of Cork on the ball and I firmly believe it is just a matter of time until he gets that call

Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขm not really looking at it at the moment. Maybe at some point in the future,รขโ‚ฌย said Cork.

รขโ‚ฌล“Playing every week is good for me. Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve got no injuries and I want to help this club have another good season.”

He is delighted though for his midfield colleague on his own call up รขโ‚ฌล“Heรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs so good to play with, especially in the middle. I know I can just give him the ball and heรขโ‚ฌโ„ขll do something creative with it

รขโ‚ฌล“Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขm really pleased for him so I hope he does well and takes his chance to impress.

รขโ‚ฌล“Heรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs got that skill and that flair. Heรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs got that hard work and drive, and heรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs only 23.

รขโ‚ฌล“I thought he was a lot older because heรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs been around for ages, but to be called up at 23 is a massive achievement.

รขโ‚ฌล“Itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs good that people are looking at us and can pick England internationals from us.รขโ‚ฌย
