Maybe going on what a success he was for Blackpool, Liverpool wanted to up the % of his wages that Blackpool paid, and they weren't having it, and Boro were willing to meet those demands?  Just a theory.

Thats a good poinnt - i always assumed that in a loan deal they pay 100 percent of the wages, maybe it was shelvey that insisted on more money and they had to put it up

If he didn't bring him back and we were stuck short of cover he would have been slated damned if he does damned if he doesn't!!!!

If he didn't bring him back and we were stuck short of cover he would have been slated damned if he does damned if he doesn't!!!! IN terms of people who can play in a midfield position we had Aquilani, Cole and Shelvey out on loan. This was Kenny's decision. We had Maxi, Spearing, Bellamy, Downing, Henderson, Kuyt, Adam, Gerrard returning from injury, Coady, Sterling and Suso. Hardly seems like Shelvey needed to be brought back. Firstly, Maxi, Bellamy, Downing and Kuyt are not central midfielders. Secondly, aside from the injured Lucas, Spearing was also injured, and Gerrard had a massive question mark over his fitness. That left us with Henderson and Adam as our only reliably fit CMs - and gathering what a lot of people on here think of them, that's not something that would fill them with confidence. 2 fit central midfielders is not enough for any squad, let alone ours. At the same time we have another CM who's in red hot form in the Championship, who we have the option to recall. "Another Kenny misjudgement"? I think not.

Wasn't he brought back at just the right time. If I recall it was either just before or after the Spearing sending off so cover was needed.

He was brought back just after Lucas was injured.

I am happy is he going on loan does not have a chance to be a first team player right now, needs a full season on loan to be ready to challenge for a first team spot
Would have been nice if he went to a better championship team though.
Birmingham or Leeds maybe
I will listen, only if your answer contains wisdom
