Alan Curtis: Jonjo Shelvey Was Forced Out Of The Club

Swansea coach Alan Curtis has denied suggestions Jonjo Shelvey was forced out of the club.
The England midfielder joined Newcastle on Tuesday for a fee understood to be around £12m after losing his place in the Swansea line-up.

“I don’t see how he can direct any criticism towards the club,” said Curtis.
“It was just a case of Jonjo wanting to play first-team football and in the end it was probably a good deal for both parties.
 “The money was good and it was probably good for Jonjo to move, it was in the interest of both parties for him to have a fresh start.”
