Played pretty well, could have been sent off, got injured and still can't finish a book.

Jack Wilshere: my career.

I like Jack, and he's one of our own so you can't help but want him to succeed, but he doesn't know when to release the ball.

You simply cannot rely on him as a first teamer as he will always get these injuries as he's constantly inviting challenges and doesn't seem interested in releasing the ball until someone is flying in at him.

Every game is an injury waiting to happen.

Over-rated, over-played, injury-prone, hot-head who has done very little. He could have been the new Paul Scholes but he's not good enough and Wanker has ruined him.

and the papers today are saying Arsenal are about to try to tie him down to a 5 year contract......150k a week :roll:

I guess the new Diaby contract is just around the corner too, probably up to 80k a week.....

Arsenal are set to offer England midfielder Jack Wilshere, 22, a new five-year deal that will put him among the club's top earners with wages of around £150,000 a week. (Sunday Mirror)

He plays like a 12 year old and has the mentality of one - overplays his hand almost every time. I think he has the skills to be excellent but unfortunately has neither the demeanor nor intelligence to take advantage of that.

Wilshere on £150k LOL.
Wenker on £8m a season.
Walcott, still mediocre and injury prone, £100k a week
Ramsey, on £100k for one good season. Reverted to type now
Chesney, a nothing liability keeper who seems to concede each time the ball is near him, on reported £80k a week
Mertesacker, a slow weakling, also on £80k a week.
Danny Welwide, United reject on £100k a week. :shock:
Gibbs, a shocking defender, on a minimum of £50k p/w
Arteta just got a new deal, carry on picking up your £70k
Giroud on £80k a week, what for we still don't know
Gazidis on £2m a year, even though he can't sack the manager
Kroenke, £3m in advisory fees
Cheapest ST, £1.2k :shock:

It's the biggest economic scandal and mismanagement of resources known to sport!
Pardew, Fat Sam and Garry Monk are performing better on FAR less. A joke this club...
And yet fans will pay the next ST hike to fund this garbage :roll:

Wilshere is a very good player being ruined by Wenger (one of many players who have)
For example, see how much better a player he is under Hodgson

Scholes is a monosyllabic inbred ginger monkey, but he nailed it about Jack; there has been no significant improvement in over 3 years. Jack is still that inconsistant, injury-prone hot head he was 3 years ago. Yes, there is deffo talent there and he has brilliant ability in flashes - but it's never often enough.

His injuries really are down to his style of play and lack of on-field intelligence; he invites the tackles that injure him, never releases the ball early enough, always looking to take on that extra man.

And Jack Wilshere is a petulant, cigarette smoking chav. Can't stand the fecker. Has a face I'd enjoy repeatedly punching.

Made of glass too.

I really struggle to identify where he plays for us. He couldn't score in a brothel so an advanced role doesn't really work, and yet he's far too inclined to keep hold of the ball and run into trouble if played as a deep lying playmaker.

It may help if we had an enforcer worth his salt to allow him to flourish but we don't. His temper and injury record are both suspect too.

He's a Jack of all trades :oops: if you will, but doesn't excel at anything it seems.
