Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted August 24, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted August 24, 2018 Exactly the sort of shite he needs to be coming out with to buy himself more time with the West Ham fanbase. Played Manuel . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Well to be fair he is right. They do share similar characteristics. Just like a $1 wine and $10,000 wine, we know they are both the same thing but one is obviously superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I hope Pellegrini can get the best out of Wilshere but I think the potential that was seen years ago will probably be just that. But still a fit and on form Wilshere is much better for England than some of our reserve options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people assume that when comparing 2 players they are talking about them being at a similar level footballistically but this mentality pisses me off. For example, UTC's Donald Millan reminds me a lot of Juan Roman Riquelme and I say this all the time. Sometimes I get laughed off because they "Riquelme is a lot better" when I was really just comparing styles. Both are Enganche's and play similarly but that doesn't mean I think he's at Riquelme's level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMG Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 They'll be comaprable after Wilshire wins a World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Liquidator Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Wow, hell of a talk up by Pellegrini. Maybe they are the same height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 To be fair there probably isn't much difference between the two. Pirlo is 39 and retired 2 years ago, he must have dropped to Wilshere's level by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Their style of play is similar. Don't think Pellegrini was suggesting Wilshere's as good as Pirlo so the only issue here is that the people that look for any reason for banter on twitter are quite thick.

Dr. Gonzo Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Jack Wilshire honestly might be the most overrated player I’ve ever seen in my life. Pirlo was probably the best deep lying playmaker in football, if not the best - definitely one of the best, and demonstrated it consistently year after year. Wilshire’s got a decent range of passing and they’re both midfielders, and I think that’s where the similarities are. But he’s nothing like the consistent match tempo setting playmaker Pirlo was and he never will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 There was a good period of several years when nobody spoke about Pirlo and then he joined Juve; which then caused everyone to collectively circle-jerk over him for the rest of his career. Jack Wilshere had one good game and created a career from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
