Jack Wilshere: Star of the Future

So easy to pick a hyped player and say he won't develop, much harder to back someone to make it. So oh great one 1TP, kindly stick your balls on the line and tell the world which young kids you think will develop and become good players. And then we can check back in 14 months and see how clever you are.

The new Darren Anderton, but without the talent.

i put berkley up, funnily enough after watching him play 30 mins at arsenal last season, and its not easy to stick your neck out when the southern media and the lemmings start banging on about a player.your met with so you no more than fergie,wenger respected journo,s etc

I'm not sure who is worse him or Cleverley.

I'm an arsenal fan and on twitter last season I put up the Wiltshire flat on his face count   The which minute will jack first hit the deck. The jack knee clutch count..The jack ankle clutch count.
  The is jack blind( given ball clear route to goal but jack does a 360 heads for 4 opponents throws his self to the ground one arm aloft other demonstrating the perfect ankle clutch)   after one game when jack was clutching for ages and everyone own players included ignored   Then sheepishly he gets up even gooners in the ground were laughing at him when he rose.limped three strides then sprinted after the ball.
Did get it wrong on the jack wheelchair has more children than goals tho.
He's useless .and it's no surprise since he's back full time arsenal are falling

aperfect case in point henry winter,fat sam,our southern journo luvies and the loons on here all had ravel morrison captaining england in brazil after a one off performance against spurs,if you want him roy he,s now at qpr,

Jack shines against the big sides, Brazil, Barca and tonight Bayern, this is when you'll see him come into his own.

I agree that Wilshere has the potential to be one of Englands all time great players... But that's the future, who knows what will happen to him given his injury problems...

For now he's not that special and he's very inconsistent... Which Jack will turn up tonight? The one that can create a goal out of nothing or the Jack that spends half the game rolling around on the ground...

hope jack does not become another joe cole always injured and idolised by media stewart robson a pundit who is not scared to tell the truth has said jack runs on sides of feet and will be prone to injuries

Stewart Robson has a chip on his shoulder larger than the shard, every time I hear him on radio he's having a go at Arsenal, I don't know why he's so bitter but he's one of these people a bit like David Pleat, Garth Crooks and Clarke Carlise who think their opinion is gospel and more important than yours.

Clark Carlisle has displaced Hazel Irvine as the person I'd most like to throw out of an aircraft.

Yeah but he is in mensa Jed!!

He won't be in the starters tonight IMO rosicky will
Wenger doesn't trust jack as much as he used to if Ramsey was about he would never start

shining like a turd tonight

I know you can make an argument for resting him for the weekend but I'd have brought him on to see if he could have turned the game.

redknapp found one pass and made him best player on the pitch in 1st half, LOL

To be fair he's done very well at being on the floor a lot tonight

You can't expect him to dominate when Bayern have an extra man in there after the sending off, first half he was on top of the midfield, but the extra man makes everyone run more, game was flipping ruined with the sending off

Yeah. You can tell that with all the goals and the goals he provides for others

he is cr@p, but to be fair so is marty

think i just saw him touch the ball for the first time this half

Headnap will give hin MOM

Get the ball, fall down. Get the ball, fall down.

Great player.

That'll explain Arsenal's half time lead eh mes. Another disappearing act, another excuse.

Get the ball,Give the ball away. fall down. Get the ball, Run into a player.fall down.

Jack Wilshere

He's warming up for the World Cup where I expect him to peak in time to be the best play at the tournament, still feeling his way back form injury hence the going down to ground business, doesn't want to risk getting hurt by some clumbering no mark.

feeling his way back from injury for about 3 yrs now

godot turned up before wilshire

Mesmerised

"He's warming up for the World Cup"


That is good news. At his current rate of progression we should see him peak just in time for Qatar 2022

Loved the bravery the little c unt showed turning his back terrified for a side foot ed first goal. Should have blocked it

A lot of jealous resentful posters on this thread, like I said, the man down meant Bayern were allowed to overrun the midfield, it will be different at the Allianz Arena provided the Ref chooses not to be centre of attention again.

Dream on man...yer pish

Was expecting him to cost us a goal with his ball dwelling but only cost us with that **** freekick which ended up with the ball in our net.  Not his worst game

So that's it then deckchair cost us both goals.  But was only face down on the pitch 3 x in the first 8 mins.
So I suppose he's running in nicely for the wcup.

We are all biased towards our own team and particularly players we favour but mesmerised takes it to a new level with his admiration of Wilshere - pity it is completely unjustified - he isn't very good

Absolutely superb from Wilshere, ripped Sunderland apart to set up Giroud.

shame he cant do it against good teams

He was man of the match against Barca and Brazil.

brazil was a friendly

so was today

Wheelchair out injured again.

Gives him the rest he deserves ready for Brazil.

sicknote strikes again

Arsenal will probably do better without him

I think we can safely assume that Paul Scholes is not a fan.

"Jack Wilshere, he came on the scene and what a top player he looked, but he’s never really gone on. He needs people like Vieira to take him to the next level. His development, he doesn’t look any better now than he did at 17.”

spot on

Hilarious stuff by mesmerised here. My favourite part is "Xavi and Iniesta rolled into one player"

Yes, now we know why Paul Scholes kept his mouth shut for all the years as a player, nothing intelligent comes out when he opens it, walofs.

Ha he been living under a rock, he has been constantly set back by injuries, how can having a 6ft4in player help take him to the next level, it's a nonsensical statement to begin with, he needs to stay injury free, and the natural talent will do the talking.

Btt it's obvious what's going on here, Scholes, who was a genuine great, sees Wilshere as being a threat to his 'best English player of the last 20 yeas' throne, he looks at Jack and he sees himself, without the carrot topping, so he tries to discredit him, unlike the ginger midget though, Wilshere wont be ABANDONING his country aged 29 under Rudolphs command.

wind-up merchant. end of thread.

Wilshere will have packed up completely by 29 years old.

When he is actually on the field he often gives a good impression of having packed it in

Yes Scholes has been living under a rock and you are right. LOL

So Wilshere has not progressed one bit since aged 17 - ffs get a grip.

Gooners going nowhere 2-0 down. Wilshere subbed off. 2-2 FT.

Wheelchair off - makes all the difference.

The day that he does not lie down in the opposing half claiming that he was fouled after losing possession will be the day that he is is a real footballer...

But Arsene must train his young boys to lie down.

sell wilshere

useless

Garbage-and i seen a few.

the sad thing is that he will be in the england squad no matter what, how are england supposed to progress. 

The bloke wouldnt get into many other epl teams.

He does does zilch, look energetic for 20mins, gets tired and falls over.

Looked v poor in the flesh today.

Hard to tell who is worse, him or Monreal!

Needs a new start, perhaps Carlisle Utd could take a change on him for 50K?

*chance

Well it clearly hasn't happened for Wilshere the way we hoped. Injuries, attitude, too much exposure at a young age...he will improve but unlikely to become the world class force we dreamed of.

Oh well, if you have 2 child prodigies, 1 of them fulfilling their promise (Ramsey) isn't so bad :)

Even by wheelchairs standards yday was a shocker. Usual running head first into defender throws himself to floor roll over arm aloft knee clutch grimace ankle clutch. Game still going on gunners playing with 10 men for 90 secs then gets up. Spends 5 mins fake limp( getting breath back)
Wenger was heard shouting at him at least twice yday.
Subbed then arsenal save the game.
I'm a gooner and he's pants and most fans have had enough.

Another thing that interests me.
Has another club ever tried to buy him as I'm sure he would be offloaded.

How the London press loved Jack.

It has been obvious for years that he was the most over rated midfielder in the country. More interested in showing off his tattoos at the end of the match than scoring a goal.

If Arsenal want to win the league, they need to get rid of three very poor midfield players Wilshire, Arteta and Cazorla.

Another thing that interests me.

Arsenal went through a phase of offering through-the-ranks players big contracts on little evidence.  It was meant to stave off interest of other clubs, which it certainly did because no-one in their right minds would pay, for example, Bendtner £57k pw.  Unfortunately it meant Arsenal ended up with a lot of ordinary players on big salaries that they could not shift, and those players have no intention of taking a pay cut for another club.  Wilshere will be the same; there may be loan enquiries when everyone is fit and he can't get a game

When discussing the England midfield a few weeks before the world cup I said to a work colleague I wouldn't be surprised to see Wilshere playing for someone like West Brom or Sunderland in a few years time, I can't see him becoming an indispensable fixture in top level side.

It will be a while because Wenger will persevere with him.  Diaby is 16 months away from being eligible for a testimonial

happiest player regarding wilt is oxo whilst jacks around oxo is getting away with murder another one been in reverse gear for  seasons,but lets leave them  alone for a while and concentrate on the latest media luvie chambers,in the week journeymen ba playing for a bog average team could  have scored a hatrick and was culpable for evertons  goals yesterday .people are demanding he gets picked for england,how easy it is to get caps these days

Too many ciggies for Jack.

Birds dumped him now. 
Didn't like the camp capers with Joan hart.
Been dumped since March that's his new excuse to keep the hype going

Cracking haul for this fishing trip.

Cattermole twice the player Wiltshire is based on today's performance.

Saw my old mate from Hanley,screwing because Villa beat you,copper!

enjoy it, will probably the last time you see them score until Benteke is back

Anyone else think Wheelchair played his best football for BOLTON WANDERERS?

Who is better: Wilshere or McCarthy?
In keeping with a digital age in which everything is predetermined by an online poll, I propose a vote.
Which midfielder would you rather have in your team. Arsenal's Jack Wilshere or Everton's James McCarthy?
I offer this fully aware Arsenal fans will be incandescent with rage anyone has the audacity to compare the future of English football with the Republic of Ireland midfielder, but it is a worthwhile experiment to assess the honesty of the average supporter. Any Arsenal fans watching at Goodison on Saturday - or indeed any neutral not dazzled by hype or patriotic favouritism - would surely agree that based on the last 18 months it is McCarthy and Evertonians who should be insulted by the question.
The difference between McCarthy and Wilshere is the Everton midfielder, well, does stuff. He reads the game expertly, makes tackles and interceptions, passes the ball to his team mates and covers so much ground his 'heat map' must be radioactive.
Wilshere - or certainly the current version of him - does none of the above. True, he is a different type of player, selected for his creativity, but he does not score enough goals, has no turn of pace, creates nothing, often concedes possession cheaply and looks like he might be injured every time an opponent has the audacity to tackle him.
If the pair were made available for transfer today, aside perhaps from Chelsea and Manchester City with their warehouses of midfielders, McCarthy would enhance every other team in the country. Arsenal, for example, would be much superior with McCarthy sitting deep in their midfield rather than Wilshere doing nothing much at all.
If Wilshere was for sale, no-one else in the top four would be bidding. My guess is he'd be pursued by those clubs who become safe havens for those stars prematurely worshipped as a part of a new generation of English footballers until we all realised the illusion.
Currently, Wilshere puts one in mind of Joe Cole. He might have peaked at 18 and seems to be dining out on the memory of what he was - what he once represented - rather than what he actually is. If he does not radically improve soon he might as well start measuring up for that West Ham or Aston Villa jersey. Chris Bascombe

Wheelchair peaked about 4 years ago.

As a gooner, I'd be delighted to get £25m for him right now.

A very fair assessment by mightymoyes - the latent potential of Wilshere has never been fulfilled & you have to doubt it will ever happen now - a gradual decline which started sometime ago will eventually result in a transfer to a team with aspirations no greater than survival

i didnt write that, copied from the telegraph

the sad thing about that article and what it fails to say is this,
wiltshire would love to reach the level of performance that cole actualy reached on occasions for west ham and chelski, thats how overated the london journo,s have made wiltshire,after 5 years they,ll still trot out an england friendly against brazil , he hasnt even come close to reaching the heights of an average epl player

the absence of the OP on this/his thread pretty much is the gold seal on every other contributors negative opinion of Jack Wheelchair.

I saw wilshire when he was on loan  at Bolton, few seasons ago at sunderland, thought he was tremendous player , best player on pith, even though s/land won 4-0. just don't think through reasons unbeknown to me he has developed as a player. everytime i see him seems to regress and if I was wenger would cash in.
hodgson might do him a favour and drop him from england squad too, especially if hodgson takes an unusual step and selects on a meritocratic system.

Mrs wheelchair has ruined jack. Little frolic in the pool with hart and it's him or me time.
Poor jacks at home alone now.  No kids or mrs not very inspiring

who picks him up off the carpet at home then ,

i must have been offworld at the time and as a result have no idea what is going on - have Jack & Joan declared for each other or something?     Football enormously backward in terms of gay rights so to credit to both if so.

he's not an iron is he ?

https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8...

Wheelchair has made his choice.
Joan who looked stunning tonight in various shades of primrose from hair to feet.

jack wheelchair

is he freddie mark 2

On and off the pitch he is consumed by the red mist;and will retaliate violently at the slightest provocation.

i'm surprised mugmerised isn't here w@nking over wheelchairs performance, and he didn't even land on his arse

!

Two sublime goals when it mattered and Man of the match in an international to add to his MOTM awards v Barca, Brazil and Man City - big game players, turns up when it matters.

Would have been the star of Brazil if RoyHodgersaurus hadn't had such poor tactics in playing 442 v Italy and Uruguay, it's 451 on the big stage esp when Pirlo is playing.
