Wilshere gone

[Luis Anaconda]

There is that lingering feeling about what he could have been, or even should have been given that he is 26 and no longer young Jack Wilshere. He was slightly different to your average English midfield player and very much in the mould of Arsenal, but then he was injured a lot and even under Wenger had moved down the pecking order.

Not making Southgate’s WC squad must have told him his career is seriously in reverse.

I am not one for huge sentimentality about footballers so no loss as far as I am concerned.

That was a sexy goal

I'd have thought his highlight would be that game against Barcelona. Even I was almost convinced after that.

I often tell my children about that.

The day I sat with LA, and Jack scored.

I'm afraid he never built on his early promise or appeared to learn from his mistakes. The same could be said for Walcott. I've no idea if that was a failing of the individual or of coaching or both, but it's been obvious for years that his true level is West Ham or Crystal Palace and it looks like that's where he's finally heading.

Walcott scored 19 goals from the wing in 2/3 of a season and was then dropped for saying "they wanted it more" after a defeat and never played again.

{He was trying to be honest - tell the fans they'd buck their ideas up - but AW took it as a criticism.}

Just like Sir Ches has a fag cos he's pissed off about a defeat and he gets dropped and replaced with some chav reject who is currently a worse keeper than the Pole.

Last term, Jack forced his way into the team and was looking good until the England call up. This is what was motivating him. When he was sent back injured, and thus knew he wouldn't go to the WC, he played like **** again.

Indeed, he had a small chance to prove Emery wrong, but he chose not to take it. Reasonable decision on his part.

He certainly had a fantastic football brain, but sadly his style lead to far too many injuries.

[Tony C]

Some would say - he’s played a complete blinder mugging us off the way he did...knew full well he was jumping ship.

Anyways he was just too weak, too slow, too artsy farty and not creative enough to be any sort of top level midfielder. Yeah sure the odd flick, dribble and quick pass but otherwise just another pretender.

Use to p iss me off week after week him coming on after marches saying - we’re sorry, we let the fans down, we’ll try harder etc etc every fecking week with that nonesense.

Next one on the hit list is Ozil...someone big needs to go to balance of us keeping Bellend.

[Burney]

Good. Can't have a man whose tongue lolls out like that playing for us. It's disgusting.
