Jack plus 30 million to Liverpool??

Hi Gooners, no this is not a wum article, genuine question.....how important is Jack Wilshire to the Arsenal set up now?

It's plain as day to me that adding Suarez to this Arsenal side will frankly see us walk the Premier League title!!

Giroud is a good, honest professional.....but..sorry....ultimately we need better I'm afraid! Having a striker who could create something out of nothing when things are not going our way is essential! Plus Suarez with our midfield is 30 odd goals I reckon!

Additionally...Jack does not start in my midfield when all options are available....my starting midfield is Arteta/Flamini, Ozil, Theo, Carzola and of course Rambo.....NO room for Jack!

So....serious question...Liverpool obviously has no intention of selling us Suarez strictly for cash....would you as a fan be comfortable with giving up Jack PLUS cash to get one of the best strikers in world football?

All in all....a very round about way of asking has Jack Wiltshire arguably become more expendable than before??!

I'm a huge NFL fan! (I know.........I know ) so the concept of trading "Favorited" players.....in order to get the BEST FIT for a team is a concept not foreign to me!

Wilshire is overrated. He is another overhyped english player, who has been built up to ridiculous levels by a nation and media desperate for another homegrown football idol. He is good, but not in the top bracket of players, and nowhere near the top three midfielders in the world. Currently, he isnt even in the top three at his own club. There are no doubts at all that if the arsenal squad could only have one of Suarez or Wilshire, it would be vastly stronger and more potent with Suarez.

Anybody who cant see that is being extremely short sighted.

Wilshere knows this and he is undoubtedly one of the few players in our squad who could play their whole career at Arsenal (Ramsey, Gibbs, Ox could also be 1 club men as well as Szczesny).

Some of these players were signed from other clubs.

Wilshere isn't as talented as Ramsey. I've always said that. However, he's still extremely good. He's got that something that you just can't teach. Honestly, you will eat your words on this on one day.

Jack plus £30,000,000 for Aguero.

Hell yes.

Brian is 100% correct.

Wilshere is a young Joey Barton.

Anyone who wouldn't swap Wilshire for Suarez is either a wum or blind.

Wilshere can't even start for arsenal ffs.

I said it 2 years ago after the press ranting and raving about Wilshire that he is very similar to a youg Joey Barton and I've been proven right in more ways than one.

He is unsellable, why would you sell a future world class talent who's been with us since nine years old.

Wilshere is so young with so much potential. What a stupid notion. Why would we sell Wilshere?

Half of the so called fans cant even spell Wilshere so how do you expect to be taken seriously.

Wilshere is young and a year behind Rambo in his recovery from injury. Would you seriously want to give one of out rivals a player who could lift them to our level in a year or two? Wilshere is stronger and more physical than Rambo and I think the two of them could form a partnership that can rule the PL for ten years after Wilshere has fully recovered from his injury which is clearly still giving him problems. He still has pins in his ankle I think and once they are removed it should allow him to kick on in his development. He will then be a great player. Id rather just buy a player for cash or give them Bendtner and cash.

We should offer Bendtner (self acknowledged top striker) plus Abou Diaby plus 35M for Suarez.

You think Wilshere's better than
Kroos, Gundogan and Thiago?
----------------
You don't? He's further back in
his development due to injuries
sure, but Thiago is certainly
worse than Jack, he's more on
Eriksen's level. I see you dropped
Koke from your statement.
--------

Kroos and Gundogan are miles better than Wilshere. Anyone who thinks otherwise either needs to watch more football or is well deluded. Thiago is easily better as well. It's a shame his long term injury ruined his great start for Bayern - a team Wilshere wouldn't come close to starting for. And I've seen nothing to suggest he's better than Koke. If Wilshere were Spanish, he'd barely get a mention cos players like him are well common throughout Spain. He's not better or more talented than the likes of Illaramendi, Benat and Muniain who wouldn't get a sniff of the Spanish squad. Wilshere is hyped like he is cos he's one of few English players who are technically proficient like their European counterparts. But he has simply not produced enough to justify the hype.
