I like Shelvey and have hoped he would come good but he just doesn't appear to have "it" as an attacking mid. He's too careless with the ball and too indecisive at least in the chances I've seen. Unless he dropped into a deeper holding spot, currently held by Gerrard and likely Henderson after him, I really don't see a place for him. He won't start ahead of Coutinho who has been absolutely brilliant to watch since we signed him and now has Alberto behind him. Perhaps a loan would do him well for some extneded playing time at the very least.
 
Agree on the need for steel and that's where the CDM comes in. Lucas does well for us back there but is still a health concern which is why I rate Wanyama who is a beast at the back. Same thing Macherano did for us prior to exiting. The reason we almost won the league a few years back wasn't all Fernando Torres, it was Mascherano keeping opposition in check and Alonso pulling strings from deep.
