I can't predict the future, that's where the if's and but's came from. Just like your last line. And that's why people usually use other players career as examples.
He bossed the barca midfield? Really?
The main difference between them is that Wilshere can do pretty much everything Cleverley can do, as well as being much more creative and having the ability to accelerate past players in a Gazza-like way.
He didn't, but he held his own against them in the Nou Camp, which was pretty impressive especially as quite a lot of it was with ten men.
This is not good, repeatedly injuried and so young. I'm not sure but this reminds me of Ando.
He did more in one game than our entire midfield did in 2 finals. That counts for something.
Our midfield against Barca's is a no contest really.
He stood up, whereas a more senior player like Fabregas didn't look up for it at all (probably wasn't mind). I was very impressed by Wilshere over those legs.
I thought it was impressive as well. "Bossing" is a ridiculous overstatement though. I've never seen Barcelona's midfield bossed let alone by an Arsenal one.
That he impressed against Barcelona does count. That he did better than our laughable efforts does not. We played into barcelonas hands in those finals. Besides, to be honest, our midfielders in those finals were nothing special really. It's not our strength and it is their main one.
Yeah, I gave up pretty quickly the majority were clearly toss pots.
Sol has already played Fifa with him. He's our hidden weapon.
Indeed - I was reading an old thread on Clichy where the majority actually wanted his head on a plate, to hang him, shoot him or make him commit suicide. I mean, this place can have some ridiculous knee-jerk reactions, but that should probably have been reported, and not just to the mods!
And he doesn't have the mental fragility of Reyes, most importantly. What a waste of talent Reyes was.
Anyone that comes back from a serious injury is going to be prone to getting injured in other area's especially muscles due to lack of match fitness, surprised Wenger would play him so soon after an International. Wilshere needs to be handled with kid gloves at the moment, not good for him to be missing so much football through injury.
It was so frustrating because he had so much talent and it was just wasted for us.
At times it was almost like watching the gooners of old. I know it was only sunderland but there were some great passing moves between wilshere and carzola.
Possibly not, but I can't see him staying there long-term if they continue to underperform like they have been.
The sicknote team maybe.
