He is nearly 22.
That's about as much as I can say on the situation, I haven't seen enough of Shelvey and I doubt most on here have. I believe Spearing's not played more than 10 games so far either, although on the evidence thus far at 21 he doesn't look like he'll cut it in our best XI. Shelvey has the advantage of years on his side, but I do wonder the objective of this thread. If it's to prove Shelvey will succeed at Anfield it is never going to achieve that using Spearing as a comparison.
