ponsaelius Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Wilshere was bossing Barcelona's midfield as a 19 year old. Injuries have killed him and he should be avoided. He was not shite though. Calling him shite is like saying Alex Pato was shite as a 19 year old for Milan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 He's very skilled, it's just like most young English players nowadays he's a bit thick and never really improved the necessary parts of his game to become a great player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Would rather we spent that kind of money on McCarthy than Wilshire. Really? Surprised by that, I always thought that Wilshire was a cut above players like McCarthy (when fit). Do they play the same role? McCarthy as far as I know is someone who specialises in breaking up play and would be seen as the midfield enforcer. Not really sure what Wilshere is.

thenige Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Will be extremely surprised if Wilshere doesn't end up at West Ham if he moves permanently from Arsenal. As for his attitude, he's certainly no more of a bellend than Shelvey in fairness and think given our current stature we'd be crazy not to take him assuming he'd fit into the system Rafa wants to play next season.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I doubt Wenger would have persisted with him for so long if he had an attitude problem, becomes he comes across as right charver off the pitch doesn't mean he has an attitude problem. We should obviously steer clear, but that isn't the reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I would take Wilshere 100%, play 4-3-3 with him, Shelvey and a proper defensive midfielder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Always thought Wilshere was a bit of a nothing player really. Technically decent without any real cutting edge and a bit lightweight. I'll be surprised if Rafa wants him. I would say the complete opposite of that. Tries to do the spectacular too often. Definitely not lightweight How's that the opposite of what I said?

Surprised by that, I always thought that Wilshire was a cut above players like McCarthy (when fit). Just me personally. I feel McCarthy is exactly what we need and I think Wilshire would come here to let his career die. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel McCarthy is exactly what we need and I think Wilshire would come here to let his career die. I don't like either option, personally would rather us take a punt on a talent from another league, we've got more than enough British lads in the squad. For what we would have to pay for either, we could get a really good prospect on the continent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 We've enough injury prone players in the squad already thanks. This. Can we not just sign good players that's not made of glass. The likes of Wilshere and Delph should be looked past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Wilshere would excite me as a signing, if he could get fit and string a good run of games together he would be class, if injuries haven't completely destroyed him. He doesn't seem to treat his body well away from the game, so those are both big ifs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I can't help but feel he'd be hugely disappointing. Really thought he'd show more at Bournemouth last season, but didn't do too much when he did play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 A major talent, but I fear that injury has robbed him of what little pace he had. I seem to remember he aggravated an ankle injury when he was rushed back to the first team too soon. I don't think he's recovered yet. A number of the young Arsenal players - Oxlade, Ramsey, Walcott, Wilshere - seem to have suffered long-term problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
