    After being an irregular for Benitez, JJ is back in the Geordie starting Xl .. nice to see that Brucie appreciates the advantage of a full English ((:>)
    He is more than a bit Scottish isn't he?
    is he ?

    Careful limey or you’ll have uncle after you, he can be very sensitive about his Jonjo.  :*

    Hopefully he will come back to us for a bit, be nice to have a pint with @uncle too

    I love him, his attitude is exactly what a lot of young players coming through now could do with. Showed real desire to get to things first and took no prisoners, that was as a 16/17 year old and whilst he didn't get enough chances for England he has had a really good career

    great move for JJS and Burnley .. he, Cullen and Brownhill will be a formidable midfield

    Great that he's back in England. He'll enjoy playing in those colours.

    His Charlton sword tattoos aren't very good. Probably did them in science with a compass and some Quink.

  • Would have loved to see him back at the Valley for one more gig, wages might be an obstacle!

    I’m not normally a fan of the “let’s get that former player/manager (delete as appropriate) back”, but a player like Jonjo would be so good for this team and is what we desperately need. I didn’t actually realise he was still playing but if he wants to come home after his stint at Burnley then he would be very welcome!

    Gomez, Parker, Lookman, Konsa etc have gone on to have better careers, but no player has excited me like Jonjo when he came through. Weirdly, he kind of arrived fully-formed at 16 years old. Already 6ft+, composed on the ball, excellent passer, good shooting ability, confident and with genuinely elite technique. If these areas had improved at the normal rate for a young player he would have been a generational talent. His lack of in-game intelligence and off the ball ability held him back in the end, but he's still had a good career. 

    Will always remember him turning down Chelsea to sign a contract with us so we got a (slightly) better fee when he eventually moved on, plus that cracking goal away at Orient among others. Would love to see him at The Valley again one day.

    Other than pace he had it all. Criminally underused by Parky despite being very young at the time.

    A home for ex Charlton midfielders at the moment. Parker as manager, Shelvey and Cullen on the pitch.

    Would love it but I doubt Jones would go for a player like Jonjo

    Seems he’s starting to decline. Will be interesting to see where he ends up and if he can get going again with regular football.

    He’s out injured until the end of the season I think, so just what we need. High paid and injury prone.

    Messed around with Scott Parker (taking wages off his team for doing nothing) and former Charlton youth.

    Yeah, JoJo Maman Shelvey was his passport name but he got grief for sounding like a baby clothes retailer so he changed it to Jonjo
