He made the right decision. Bit of a busted flush at our place, what with that injury record and only sporadic good performances ..
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.
Quite right. Regardless of how good he looked at a very young age, he is 26 years old and has never been both good and fit for an extended period of time. We can hardly be accused of being rash in this case.
Wenger, of course, would have extended by now. Well done Unai and Sven imo.
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 :cloud9:

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.
Certainly the tactical debate may have confounded those lucky enough to be in earshot.
I remember thinking Leroy Fer had played well for the Canaries. A level of footballing insight and appreciation not many could even dream of, or perhaps 1-2 too many Timothy Taylor Landlord liveners.
The fact that my travelling companion drifted off in slumber during the game suggests the latter.
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.
Burney "Were you not awoken by some fat-necked, onion-breathed hominid calling Wenger a 'CAAAAAAAANNNTTT!' at the top of his voice?"
Early Claude
Oh how we miss those vital goals against the likes of Lincoln, Sutton United and Ludogrets and Soton reserves, eh.
He played 20 more games after he said that, anyway and chances are he was dropped because in the game where he said "they wanted it more" he was utterly abysmal
Likewise for Szczesny, he just may have been dropped for the two mistakes he made in the game rather than the smoking ffs
The Chelsea reject betwixt our sticks gave away a goal in his very first game. And has done so regularly. Last season he gave away two in a game but he wasn't dropped for Ospina - who doesn't needlessly give away goals, just suffers from being a midget in goalie terms.
Sorry, I thought Feo at his best was useful. He was like one of those '80s box strikers who did F-all except score a tap in once every game and a half.
He twice got best part of 20 goals from out wide. The year the scum sold Bale, he got one less goal+assist than the Welsher. And we were in the CL then, not playing Calais reserves.
If we'd had Auba when we had a 30-a season Alexis on the left and a 20-a-season Feo on the right, then a decent defence and 2 holding MFs and we could have challenged.
Feo and Sir Chez weren't the problems. But I know jack shît about footie and you'll tell me why Cech and Iwobi are so much better.
