Apparently we're going to let Wilshere leave on loan. What a shame

That's you speaking as a fan. However, if I were running a record label and wanted results, I would kick an underperforming artist off my books. Similarly, as a club, Arsenal ought to rid themselves of an underperforming player.

Yay we disagree and no-one has called anyone a ****.wd the new mature awimb

Seems like Juventus might be the choice. He's going on loan to a better club

Swapping the bench in London, for the bench in Turin? I'm not sure he's quite grasped the point of a loan move. Surely West Ham would be a better fit?

He's always seemed like a natural West Ham player to me.

Yup. Horribly overrated by virtue of being both English and home-grown. The sort of ineffectual, lightweight player people would moan about ceaselessly if Wenger had signed him from abroad.

I have to say I totally disagree. The most talented English midfielder since Scholes in my opinion. I really didn't know anyone thought that way about him.

Burney, you originally questioned his talent as well as his output. Having seen your other posts, you seem to be backing away from that a bit.

No. I said he was never as good as people made out. As I also made clear, 'good' is as much a matter of character and application as talent. Glenn Helder was talented.

Fair enough, but I'd say when fit for a spell he was every bit as good as people made out. Glenn Helder was not talented btw, at least not at football.

I saw Glenn Helder's debut for us. He played like a god. Unfortunately, the rest of the time he played like a dog.

I would much prefer if Jack stayed especially with our injury record.

Based on Saturday's lineup you would say that Cazorla is first choice and would be partnered with a more defensive minded player (Xhaka, Coquelin or Elneny). That leaves Jack and Ramsey to fight it out as the other CM. I can't imagine Cazorla playing every game and with Ramsey's injury record, I can see Jack getting plenty of minutes. Maybe Wenger has different ideas about the midfield combination though.

He's obviously in the huff for being left out of the England squad
