Jack Wilshere retires
Jack Wilshere retires
Guess it was inevitable. Such a great talent, Arsenal through and through. A career blighted by injuries. Seen his highs and lows, to finish at only 30 years is hard to take for him. I'd still have in the team ahead of Xhaka now. Good luck for the future Jack, hope your coaching career exceeds your playing one.

Looks like he will be appointed as the head coach of the U18s. Good luck to the lad.

Maybe Xhakash!t might consider retiring at 29…Nos89 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 1:05 pmGuess it was inevitable. Such a great talent, Arsenal through and through. A career blighted by injuries.

… but for injuries and lifestyle choices, Wilshere could have been an Arsenal great. So talented.

Re: Jack Wilshere retires
Not suprising really given his last couple of years….
Wishing him all the best
Not sure what his coaching ability is like to step into the under 18 role, but good luck to him if he does.
Scored an absolutely iconic goal that showed off our pass and move, one touch flick finish v. Norwich that deservedly got goal of the season

Re: Jack Wilshere retires
Is it harsh to blame Wenger for overplaying him and ruined his career !

Re: Jack Wilshere retires
That goal was Wilshere and Giroud at their best. Unfortunately we never got to see either of them at that level consistently.StuartL wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 4:22 pmIt suprising really given his last couple of years….

Jack was a superb talent and I can't help but think he wasted his career with poor onfield decision making and poor lifestyle choices.
Wish him all the best.

Re: Jack Wilshere retires
Sad to see him retire at 30. In another timeline, he's been our captain for five years and been the best midfielder in Europe for the last six or seven. It could have been so different. Blame Wanker for playing him into the ground as a 17 year old and not looking after him.
Re: Jack Wilshere retires
I lost count of the number of times other teams used to target his ankles. If he had played abroad I am sure he would have had a longer career.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 9:02 pmThat goal was Wilshere and Giroud at their best.

The Club has been mid-managed for approaching 20 years. All of these tales are collateral damage.
