Looks like he's forever going to be known as the 16 year old kid who went to 2006 world cup.
Was just looking at his career now as he only turned 31 a few years back yet seems basically finished in premier league. Is just a squad player at a team who've been bottom half in premier league for most of the season. No one even cares about him never getting called up for England for years (last cap in october 2016).
Just hype then or was there something there. He did have from memory one really good scoring season for Arsenal but he never developed into their go to match winner like Van Persie or Alexis for spells did.
Not on the scale of Wilshere but he did have a few bad injuries at key times, think he was playing well at around the point he got injured v Spurs (only remember that for the Spurs fans chucking coins at him when he was taunting them as he was going off
)
Not a bad career but he only actually played in one international tournament for England which wouldn't have been foreseen in 2006.
