Will end up with the same sort of career Joe Cole has had.
We have been waiting for an English player to be called amongst the very best in the world for a long time and all the players touted as such have disappointed. Gazza, Joe Cole, Michael Owen, Rooney..and Wilshere will be the next. |

The lad is a shining star in a crap team. However unless he moves to get better players around him and share the workload, he is going to be a spent force or become a sick note.

The press love Wilshere but what has he ever done? He has only ever scored 2 goals at senior level.
Bayern just lapped up his crap passing last night. If you were being extremely kind you would describe his performance as naive. And what on earth was he doing wearing a Bayern Munich shirt for his post match interview. Arsenal got well and truly spanked, he personally had a nightmare of a game and he wants to wear a ****' souvenir! |

I've seen Jack Wiltshere play and he's good at keeping the ball but 90% of the balls he plays are sideways....he does flatter to deceive. I don't see him playing a killer ball that often. He's a good player and he's one of the few players that feels comfortable with the ball but does lack penetration.

By:
at least wilshere looked like he was trying,cant say that about the rest especialy that left back.
|
|
By:
Didn't see the game so can't comment in full but on one hand I've seen some say he had a good game and proved how good he is and others say he had one.
As usual I am sure people are not really factoring the impact of team performance on the individual. |

Comments re Wilshere very harsh imho. Stood out and battled almost single handedly at times. Walcott was practically non existant and you have to wonder what is wrong with him.
|
|
By:
Wilshere battled but was clueless & useless.
What is wrong with Theo? He signed a big money deal at Arsenal rather than moving to a club where he who could win silverware. Yet another well off young millionaire leading a cushy life. |
|
By:
Massively overrated player. Will be playing in the Championship within 5 years with someone like Ipswich .

Tell me which club he could have signed for that fulfilled this criteria AND got a game... |
|
By:
If he were to sign for united he would be the worlds best midfirelder, and future england captain before the ink dried, after that he would pfa player of the year and sports personalty of the year also, but that might take at least two weeks
|

By:
It is true Walcott would not be an automatic starter at United but he could have fought for a place just like Nani & Young do.

some blind unts on this thread, bookmarked to bring it up in a couple of years to mug off the haters

Thought he played well last night, sooner have in my team then Carrick!
Reminds me off a young Paul Gascoigne but with a left foot. |
|
By:
2 goals that says it all Spends too much time on the floor breaking up the play. IMO it has ruined arsenals flow since he's been back. I logged a game where he spent over 7 minutes laying on the floor with or without trainers Every time arsenal got playing down he'd go
He's also very unfit blowing like a prostitute after 70 mins yday If some mugs gonna pay 30 m I'd drive him there myself One trick pony head down charge flick ball right fall down |

Surely a young Lionel Messi but with a club foot. |

He does sulk like a prima donna. He was taken out at one stage when Arsenal were pushing for an equaliser, but legally, as the defender got the ball. He stayed down because the ref didn't give him the free kick that he wanted, not because he was injured. Arsenal won the ball back in midfield to attack again but he was still down on the edge of the box. The attack fizzled out and then he gets up again and is running around. I'm not saying he won't become a top player, but he's a million miles off being one now and his attitude stinks.

Jesus jermaine...
I have been banging on about him falling over in the opposition box for years to break up play. It is something the awful Wenger has been teaching and that is why he (Wenger) is no role model and should never have been allowed to coach in the Premier League. I thought that I was the only one who had seen the pumpkin headed cheating person trying to take an advantage.... |
|
By:
I don't see what he brings to the team can't score don't do free kicks corners a liability everytime he tackles makes scholes seem careful. Dreadful ball hog
All round attention seeker certain to get in some trouble off field potential future joey Barton unless he gets the right manager |
|
By:
one of them senior goals against leeds,to be fair you couldnt put a dvd of his best moments of his career together to justify anywhere near the hype he,s recieving,praise of wenger counts for nought as he,s said the same about 50 young kids prior to wiltshire yet to turn up against utd,city, l,pool or a big european club,and he was bog average last night,
and like the good old forum we are we dont judge him against bayern players but against the games biggest cheater walcott, |
|
By:
I am not sure Walcott is good enough to cheat...
|
|
By:
Forums been a bit better last few days bit of anger back about
A lot of the players read or hear about what's said bout them. Good for them to hear a few home truths Good for motivation of a player not performing. You notice a lot more when your had a hundred on something. Most people on here probably notice more than the guys that write in the papers Fact is jacks been average since he's been back played well against brazil and everyone goes berserk |
|
By:
This thread is a prime example of how clueless some people are yet like to dish out opinion as fact.
Wilshere has spent about 80% of Arsenal's games as the deepest lying midfielder, done by Wenger to develop his all round game. It's a matter of weeks he's been playing as the attacking midfielder, which is probably the most technical position on the pitch. He's leaning, he'll be deadly when he reads when to offload the ball and make certain runs. Cesc hardly got any goals or assists in his first 80 odd Arsenal games. The only negative in his game is his milking of injuries when he gets a knock |

He certainly is "leaning"... He is leaning me towards never watching football again the pumpkin headed cheating bas tard.... |
|
By:
2 senior goals.
Most full backs do better than that. |
|
By:
superb player only gonna get better.cant believe some of the comments on here
|
|
By:
Makelele managed 2 goals for Chelsea in 144 games, didn't see that as an issue
|
|
By:
If he was a Man Utd player would have been given his papers at Halloween.....
|
|
By:
Apart from the pathetic two goals. I'm struggling to remember ten shots in his career. To build an England team around him is the biggest joke I've heard lampard and gerrard score more in a month still than and there on there last legs
Wants to spend less time rolling around on the floor more time shooting at goal Also needs to learn a few shapes and tricks he has none not one trick I don't even think he ever changes direction |
|
By:
What baffles me is why the press & Arsenal fans love him.
He doesn't score goals He doesn't have good close control His long range passing is more miss than hit He must suck a lot of **** |

"We have been waiting for an English player to be called amongst the very best in the world for a long time and all the players touted as such have disappointed. Gazza, Joe Cole, Michael Owen, Rooney..and Wilshere will be the next". The chances of it happening (an English player to be called amongst the very best in the world) are very slim. It would require an English kid to (be born) or move to a foreign country such as Latin Europe or South America at a very young age, be coached there and then play in a league where skill and technique is continously developed. Exposure to the EPL, at any stage, is a definite no-no. So I'd say the chances of an English Messi or Ronaldo are about 1 in a million. |

Some very harsh words on here for probably the brightest english prospect we've seen for a while. He, along wih the likes of Cleverley, Welbeck, Sturridge, Oxlade Chamberlain, Zaha are Englands attacking future so the sooner we get to like it the better. The lad has missed a full season out of his career but he is now starting to look a fine player again.
