Agree with Northbank123, Wilshere is much better suited to playing deep midfield, passing from deep and making tackles, he is good in that position.
I think it is possible that one day he could play as the number 10 that his shirt number hints at, but not as an out-and-out striker as he is just too slow.
Cazorla is better than Wilshere as a number 10, so I would like to see central midfield built around Wilshere plus one other.
As for Podolski, I think his most effective work has been cutting in from the left and shooting, so carry on with him there, hoping his ankle injury clears up.
Says nothing we haven't heard already ,but still he hasn't been signed and now we are linked with Saurez ????
Since we agreed personal terms with him we hear stories about our bids for Rooney, Fellaini and now Saurez why is that I wonder ? ? ? ?
It couldn't possibly be that we are playing up our interest in others to get a lower price from Real Madrid for the player
could it ???????????
No that would be hoodwinking us all wouldn't it ???????
I do think something will break before they leave for the east next Thursday but I'm far from confident that this deal is done !

Gonzalo Higuain's father Jorge has revealed that they have finally been given permission by Real Madrid to officially open talks with Arsenal.
Arsenal have been locked in talks with Real for weeks about a deal for the Argentina international striker and sources claim that the two clubs have now agreed a deal.
Real Madrid wanted €25million (£21million) for the 25-year-old, with Arsenal's opening offer believed to be €20million but it appears a compromise has now been reached, and it will represent a club-record deal for the English club.
"We have been given permission by Real Madrid to negotiate with Arsenal," Higuain senior, who represents the player along with one of his other sons, told Fox Sports Argentina.
"I will luckily be able to see my son in the Premier League soon."
Higuain is now set to fly into England and could complete his long-awaited move over the weekend.
