Jack Wilshere

[Wilson]

Hates losing, plays with no fear, and is Arsenal through and through. Im all for binning Wenger and Theo, among few. But Jack is to be kept every day of the week. I know he is injured, but fitness is nearing - why sell NOW after rehabilitating him for so long? It defies logic.

Better than Ramsey, and is the real future leader of Arsenal.

It would be difficult to sell him while he is being rehabilitated so selling when fully fit would be logical.

[casgooner]

He'd have to be sold quickly before he gets another injury that puts him out for a season.

[Sean]

Jack who?

Oh, the bloke who makes a mockery of the club by always being injured on £90K+ per week with worse ankles than Gibbs, repeatedly smoking and getting involved in fights outside nightclubs? Yeah, right Arsenal material there

[Ed Hunter The Gooner]

Patch him up and sell by any price and get rid of him. He could be quality player but his injury record is pathetic. Not his fault ofc but he's useless to us.

[northbank123]

His attitude is not relevant really. The guy is never fit, he could be Messi but he would still have had fuck all impact on our season.

[Block93]

Even on one leg Jack is better than Henderson, and after last night for the first time since 1998 I am looking forward to watching England again, at the Euros.

Of course, we'll f*** it up again, once Hodgson picks the likes of Milner, Rooney etc and plays defensively, but for once we looked quite good. A fully fit Jack in that side is genuinely exciting.

Just a pity about the central defence. Though Forster in goal is no bad thing.

England played well last night and it was a great effort to come back from 2 nil down. Three quality goals as well, but, the media must remember that this was a friendly!!! Everybody I listened to last night were giving it big about how we are going to win the damn European Championships. One ex player saying that it would be disastrous if we didn't make the semis. I'm sure other clubs beat Germany in the qualifying group stages, that makes them potential winners too then? Germany will do far better than us in the competition. We beat them 2-1 back in 2001 and they got to the final in the actual World Cup, we went out in the Quarter finals. They hype is unbelievable!! Neither Jack nor Theo will be there. Welbeck deserves his place in the squad though.

Would you tell steve o that please ??

Yes, yes we are (Ireland beat the germans in qualifying )

In all seriousness, the England side did play well in the first half last night (I missed all bar last 10 minutes of the second half) and shouldn't have been behind at half time. That being said, even the itv commentators were saying before the game that the germans don't really turn up for friendlies and are a tournament team when it gets to the finals they really click into gear).
It's funny but jack would piss into that team quicker than he would get into ours - playing alongside a genune DM like dier would allow him to do what he does best, but for us he would be expected to win the ball, drive forward and create
Of all the players in the current squad, wilshere is the one I would love to make it big ahead of all the rest - that being said, I think that we are way beyond the point where sentimentality should be a factor unless we want another diaby and rosicky saga

That's it then, fact Ireland are going to win it, England will be runners up. (On account of the fact that you beat them when it wasn't a friendly)

I say Jack won't be there because he hasn't played all year, if he goes I'll be mad, cos he will come back injured again.

[corkbarry]

With a bit of luck He could have 5 or 6 games played before the Euros. I hope he will be fit enough . He is now back in full training and should feature.
Of course i will be expecting to hear that he suffered a setback in training and should be fit for next season, the one where we will win the treble

[Nos89]

It seems we have our own Darren Anderton here. Injured throughout season but fit for England.

That explains why we kept Diaby for so long

[SteveO 35]

In terms of our British crop he is the one I would keep ahead of all the others - Wally, Ox, Ramsey, Chambers etc. His only crimes seem to have been being injured a lot and perhaps not living up to the media hype from his first full season (and he certainly wouldn't be alone in that category either at Arsenal or anywhere else)

He's the least of our worries quite frankly, when we're taking to the field with a collection of the world's most average strikers, no natural CDM and a pair of flimsy centre backs

[Robin_L]

God knows what dimension some of you lot are inhabiting if you'd get rid of Ramsey but take (the world's biggest) punt on Wilshere, a guy whose career is fucked, as plain as day.

Genuinely in the same category as Diaby and Rosicky. In fact his injuries are more career threatening than Diaby's, as they're always on the ankle weak spot. Diaby just had a bizarre tendency for constant soft tissue injuries anywhere on his lower body because of his growth and running.

Tell me how Wilshere is going to have a meaningful football career, based off BOTH ankles having been fractured more than once, and playing in a midfield position where tackling is key to the game.
