There's a couple good jokes in there. I quite liked the ketchup reference. Mildly funny. Wouldn't watch again.

I’d take him at Birmingham to be honest.

What’s the barrier? Is it his wages do you think?

Our manager at Birmingham, Lee Bowyer, was 45 yesterday. He, and our now retired technical director Craig Gardner, beat Wilshire in the 2011 Cup Final!

Funny. I'd take him back just for the January nostalgia feel around the Grove.

Worth giving him a try. It's a sad state of affairs when looking at Wilshere and thinking he'd potentially be an upgrade on our midfield

Still only 30, yet somehow hasn't managed to find a club for half the season!?

Seems very bizarre in these days players with all sorts of injury records and misdemeanours get snapped up very quickly.

Can only be asking too much money or too long a contract.

There can't be anyway he can't cut it in the championship decently for years yet.

Ego and wage demands.

With his fitness record nobody is offering what he expects.

What's with the ketchup? I didn't get it.

The ad (?) looks great though.

That spot in midfield Kalvin Phillips currently occupies next to Rice should've been his tbh

I remember when this guy was hyped up as one of the best midfielders of his generation. Staggering decline.

Injuries(excluded his personal life) have ruined his career, after 2010-2011, the season that he won Young Players Of The Year, he never competed over 30 games per season in EPL. He is only 30 years old, I really hope he can find the way to come back at high level football.

I will remember his extraordinary performance vs FC Barcelona, when he was only 20 Years old.

Just as random as seeing Marek Hamsik joining IFK Gothenburg last year

Pretty hilarous winter window for the Danish league

Khouma Babacar, Wagner Love and now Jack Wilshere joined. Pretty abnormal for names of that size coming (non Danes I guess).

Imagine saying 10 years ago that Jack Wilshere would be signing for some midtable Danish team as he turns 30.

How is Vagner Love still playing! Thought he would be in his 40s but apparently not
