Who is the better midfielder?
Wilshere is world class, Fletcher is premiership class.
Guardiola even once said if there is one premiership player he would take then it would be Wilshere.
Even when Arsenal lost to Barca... he was the first midfielder to cause Xavi and Iniesta problems.
Fletcher is only good at roughing up people.
Wilshere will one day lead England to world cup glory and will win the ballon d'or!
Wilshere v Fletcher

Wilshere is top notch imo. He would be the perfect for our midfield too, he can do a bit of everything and you can base your team around his retention of the ball. When he leaves in 3 or so years, I hope it's to us (or anybody but not City).
I'd prefer a player like Gotze or Neymar as they are so exciting to watch..

Wilshere is far from world class. He's only 18/19.
Unless you consider world class as being in the top 20 (maybe 10 if your pushing it) in your position then he is definitely not world class.
Whether he is better than Fletcher, I personally would say not although he will be in the future should he stay away from injury.

Why do you waste your time with such articles. They are different types of player, different generations and comparing the two does really achieve anything.
Why don't you compare two players that are the same nationality, similar age, have played for national youth teams together, are in similar positions on the pitch and starting to take a starting spot on their respective teams. Oh thats right your to scarred to compare Wilshere and Cleverly because you know ours is better, thats why you chose to compare yours with fletcher.

Wilshere is good player, massively overrated though, because he's English.

Clev Wilshere
Chamberlain Rooney Young
Welbeck
That looks good to me and the sooner young hungry talent is introduced to the national team the better. Look at the Germans...they put faith in their youth and it's paid off.

Swap Chamberlain for Albrighton and you may be on to something

I do like Albrighton a lot...he has been on the bench a bit though hasn't he? Like his attitude, great cross and works his ballacks off
Sturridge deserves a mention too... would that side be a little offensive though?

That's what I like about Albrighton is that he'll put a shift in and help defend which Walcott never does and Chamberlain doesn't seem too bothered about either
