Still think there's been something a bit toxic about Arsenal for a few years and players have been stunted, whereas maybe elsewhere they could flourish. I think Everton should take a punt on him. I think you make a good point about Arsenal being a bit of a toxic environment for young players, certainly in their games. So many flopped under the old regime, I hope we can start getting the best out of youngsters once again. I think a lot will improve a lot next season, but for me it was too late for Wilshere. Still maintain Palace is the perfect destination for him.
Danny Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 7 hours ago, Smiley Culture said: 65 games in all comps (as he was played mainly in the Europa last season at Arsenal, rather than being out through injury) over the past two seasons, average of 32.5 games a season. That’s pretty standard I reckon across the league. And you’d suspect that he’d be managed slightly differently in regards to training and being rested due to his injury record. His fitness hasn’t been a huge issue over the past two seasons. He made something like 38 appearances last season yet only 20 in the league...my point was more that there were times at Bournemouth he was on the bench, wasn't trusted to start game in game out in the league at Arsenal, but has been fairly fit the last two seasons. Just not been that good.

Exactly. Since the early days of Rosicky and Van Persie Arsenal have had this situation of players you forget about due to the length of some of their injuries. Makes sense for arsenal to break free of that and for him to get out too.
Dave Posted June 25, 2018 Author Posted June 25, 2018 He's been linked with us, but to be honest, I hope we stay clear. I imagine his wage demands to play for us will be a lot higher than the demands he was prepared to play at Arsenal for. Which already places him in the category of expectation we had when we signed Benteke, Sakho and Cabaye. We need attacking minded midfielders as we only have out of contract James McArthur and a potentially past it Jason Puncheon if you take out our new found winger strikers and R-LC (fuck you @stan). However, we need attacking midfielders that are match fit. We have taken risks on the last couple of years on players with injury concerns and none of them have worked out. Of the top of my head I can think of Wickham, Remy, Flamini and Chungy. On top of that, when Wilshire has been fit for Bournemouth and played regularly for Arsenal, he hasn't actually taken the game to people in a manner that makes me believe he would establish himself as a key player here. At the same time, West Ham would probably be a better fit for him. I can see him getting behind the whole mantra of the club given his Dad is a fan. There will be a role for him in the middle of the park, and he plays the style of football Pellegrini prefers.
DeadLinesman Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 6 hours ago, The Palace Fan said: He's finally willing to move abroad. Apparently. Permanent residency in Ibiza probably. He can smoke, drink, start fights and then run off and hide behind his mates to his hearts content.
Dave Posted July 5, 2018 Author Posted July 5, 2018 He's held talks with West Ham. I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up there in all honesty. If it's got any chance of it working out for him in England, West Ham are probably the best suited club.
Dave Posted July 6, 2018 Author Posted July 6, 2018 Sky Sports seems to think a deal with West Ham is close to happening. The success of this deal is going to to be dependant on his ability to keep fit. He's either going to play 30+ games, establish a connection with the fans, be appreciated for his efforts. Or he's going to be one of a number of unsuccessful high profile names signed by the current regime that the fans flip out about come February next year.
Smiley Culture Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 They’re spending money at West Ham this summer, they’ve almost been forced to in all honesty, and I can see them having a relatively successful season on the pitch. They’re in need of a creative player due to Lanzini’s injury and Wilshere could be that player.
Danny Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Wilshere got a full season near enough at Bournemouth and if I'm not mistaken was relegated to the bench a few times and didn't make a massive impact. Also seemed to be in Arsenal's Europa League rotation last season? On a free there's not much to lose but I don't think he'll be amazing.
Chaaay AFC Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Officially signed for West Ham now on a 3 year deal. Hope he does well there and at least he is playing under a top coach.
Dave Posted July 9, 2018 Author Posted July 9, 2018 Like the Rooney transfer thread, it's pleasing to see this thread finally move. With all the options available to him this looked like the most logical move. Fingers crossed he stays fit and becomes a fan favourite. A good Jack Wilshere is in everybody's best interests.
Machado Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 This guy is the definition of loser and his career is a joke.
Marc Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 He didn't stand out at Bournemouth and got dropped. Whatever he's on at West Ham, which isprobably like 70-100k a week he's not worth it.
ScoRoss Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Seems to be linked with a move to Rangers today, although they did sign another midfielder yesterday. Would be for a very low wages, relatively, to an average EPL player for them to take him.
Smiley Culture Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 I genuinely thought he’d have been nailed on to go to Inter Miami.
Lucas Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 If he does go to the SPL, I'll be interested to see how his chipstick legs cope with the plastic pitches up there. I'm sure the SPL have 3 or 4 sides with artificial pitches because Brendan Rodgers complained about it before. That can be quite dangerous for players who have been blighted by certain injuries. I'm almost sure it would affect him.

Danny Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Let’s be honest when Wilshere came through he showed glimpses of a great midfielder, but clearly didn’t have the body or mentality for it
Cicero Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 The statement would only be valid if it was 9 years ago.
