I been absent for a while the reason being I find this time of year a bit boring with all the speculation talk and repetition. Much prefer the banter when the season starts.
Anyhow! I fancy a bit of a whinge and its aimed at Jack Wilshere. let's all stop pampering him its getting a bit ridiculous. I think a lot of people are remembering this 16 year old kid with so much potential. Well he is now getting on for 23 married and has a family HE IS NOT A KID ANYMORE!.
Wenger is going to put him in a new role supposedly.
Ok give it a go why not? But in the meantime let it be known that if he doesn't up his game he is on the list to go.
Arsenal have been more than patient with him there is no denying that. Forget about his off field antics if he wants a smoke he is going to do it. His problem is he is too thick to do it discretely.
It's on the pitch that concerns me and it looks like he is going to be given this new role at the expense of us signing one or two new players.
I have seen nothing consistantly in the last 2 seasons that makes me want to say wow! what a dynamite player he is. Just snippets here and there. Not good enough.
His injuries are well known. On the pitch he has taken to falling over at every opportunity matter of fact he is getting quite pathetic and this is coming from an Arsenal supporter of over 50 years.
Would I sell him? Going on the last couple of years? Yes in a heart beat! We could well upgrade Jack as we are really getting nothing out of him.

{Ed025's Note - he has not been at his best for a good while now golds, maybe this new role is last chance saloon, the guy is very talented, but your right when you say he has been under performing mate..

Completely agree, Wilshere is an angry little man that needs to calm down and try play the game.

I honestly would pick Arteta over him. And on his day I think Diaby would be a better choice. Trouble is we don't have anyone who is a straight up DM. We have bag fulls of CM. But most are fairly attack minded. If were going to play 1 CDM and 2 more attack minded, then we have to pick out of Ramsey, Ozil, Diaby, Rosicky, Cazorla and Ox to name but a few. And I would put Wilshere near the bottom of the list.

Hes too keen on picking up the ball and attracting fouls 35-40 yards from goal, when considering how good we are on the counter, doesn't really make sense.

Silly move IMO. I think we must buy a out and out DM

Funny how you mention boring and repetitive and post the same old thing about Jack.

I'm not the only one whose noted you've done it under a variety of guises.

It is not rocket science to see he needs to come good this season with some great performances but nothing has changed since you last whined about him.

It's pre season, let's seen how he gets on when the season is underway.

I hope it is just media bull dung and not us getting tight on shelling out on a top quality def mid. Jack is not up to the job.

haha brilliant Stoner!
I agree, move on Golds!
He's not lived up to potential, but still nowhere near as bad as you've been making out!
He's a gooner, let's get behind him!

Don't understand "the under different guises comment " Never done that at all.
Are you going to tell me and other people that he had been the business . Why do people think that because he plays for Arsenal he shouldn't get a bit of criticism.
Why are you having a dig at me? I'm saying what a lot of people are thinking. What do you want to hear that he has been the best player on the team for us the greatest thing we have produced.
Alright 'then "what a fantastic player and ambassador he is for Arsenal greatest player we have had for ages."
Is that ok?
Be real . I don't mind people disagreeing but please don't accuse me and slag me off. It's not on really. I'm not some sort of mug truthfully.

{Ed007's Note - Can we drop all this BS about people posting under other names, see what happens when one person tries to be a smart ar$e? Anyone caught posting under multiple accounts will be blocked.
Why should we do all this for nothing when people are trying to rip the pi$$ out of it and us?}

Yes he has to step up but look at Rambo had a stormer last season and that's what he has to get to, a fag and a bevy on holiday is fine as long as he is focused and picks his game up, can still be class on his day, not sure whether DM is the way forward though very doubtful does not suit his game and he is eons away from being gs19 just my opinion

{Ed025's Note - and its a fair one HC, if he got his act together he would be like a new signing mate..

Ed007. Thanks mate I appreciate it. You boys would have been the first to have known if anyone was posting under different names. Pity people have to be popped off I thought we were all on the same side here.

{Ed007's Note - To be honest we all expected better as well, we'll just need to be more vigilant now, we'll probably get other clowns trying it now no doubt.}
