Potential to be a good player? Is he not good already? Do you watch football? Yeah I agree hes not as good as Lamps etc in their primes. The boys 19 and he is the best youngster england have thats a fact!

I disagree. I think adam Johnson is more talented

He is a very,very good player. Make no mistake about that. One of the few English midfielder players able to run with the ball and keep it under his control,feisty too at times. If he was a United player we would be drooling about him. He is similar in a small way to Brady but not as good I don't think. Interesting to see next season if he can weigh in with a few goals and keep his performance level up.
All that said I have decided I dislike him - too cocky!

Nah, I disagree.

I genuinely believe Wilshere is class. He is exactly the type of CM we are looking for now. Someone who sits deep but is comfrotable going forward, greatpassing and vision, great ball retention abliilty and young.

Hoenst to god, if I could choose one player to buy now, it would be him. No joke

Agree. Just someone answer me this. What exactly has he done to be called "Englands next big prospect"? And dont say he held his own against Xavi & Iniesta in one match. Doesnt cut it for me. Too much unneccessary hype thesedays. Try firing Arsenal to a trophy then he's deserved of some praise.

Wilshere is the best young english talent out there, forget about what he has or not done. Look at his natural ability, has so many abilities that no other english player in today's game has.

I'm a neutral but Rooney, Gerrard and Adam Johnson have far more to their games and the first are much better players. The first two have fired their clubs to many trophies and have performed year after year. Whilshire has had 1 good year

How many 18 year olds have you seen that have done that?


Wilshere is a special one off talent and will be one of the greats

Exactly my point about overhyping him. Anderson has performed brilliantly against gerrard, lampard and fabregas. Doesn't mean he will be one of the greats

This is just the media feeding your minds once again like they did with rooney good as messi, england will win the world cup, golden generation, pl is best in the world etc etc. Come on, We've been here before. Lets not go there again.

Lets give him a few seasons before we start hyping him up to the ridiculous standards the media and certain folk on here do, bare in mind, these same things said of Wilshere were also said of David Bentley.

Bentley was supposed to be the 'next' david beckham and look what happened

Come on, Im not even an Arsenal fan but when I watch Wilshere play, I know hes going to be a star

Not only does he have the technical ablilty of a continential player, but he has this arragonce and determination about him that makes him a winner.

Hes 19 and already ahead of Gerrard/Lamaprd in England's pecking order (trust, when botha re fit, one wilshere will still start) and plays every Arsenal game.




To say hes more talented than any England player is a bit controversial though. Theres no denying that Rooney is one hell of a talent too

posted on 11/6/11

I agree he's overrated. The best young midfielder in tge PL is James McCarthy. At 18 is starting regularly and at 19 single handedly with N'Zogbia and Rodalegga saved Wigan from relegation. Wilshere is a decent player but he's no better than Henderson Muamba and Rodwell. He doesn't strike me as anything that special when I see him. Very hyped up

Who is this 'Whilshire' you speak of?

Lamps and gerrard are coming towards the end of their careers at 33 and 31 and after those two there aren't many which is why whilshire will play.

Still...Capello is one of the most experienced and successful managers in the game, he usually goes for experience over talent yet he has Wilshere in his first XI

At 19, Lampard was looking medicore rotting on West Ham's bench and gerrard was in Liverpool's reserves effectively. Why compare Wilshere to Xavi and Ineista now and not Xavi and Ineista when they were 19.

At 19, Wilshere is one of the best in a long time

Jack Wilshere is definitely the most mis-spelt player in English Football.

He is a talented player with plenty of potential but like Lampard and Gerrard before him is being hyped out of all proportion by the English media.

He got 8 out of 10 for England last week for what? Winning a penalty? He was lucky to get that. He ran at goal, should have passed to Darren Bent, lost the ball, got lucky with the richochet and just got to the ball ahead of the defender. I nearly forgot about his booking.

Take the Young Player of the Year Award which he won. How did Wilshere have a better season than Javier Hernandez or Nani or Joe Hart or even the actual Player of the Year Gareth 'I too am overhyped' Bale.

Lets face it United fans, we're raving about Tuncliffe and hes yet to even get a sniff at first team football. If we had Wilshere in our ranks, we too would be hyping him up like Arsenal fans too.

Hes the best since Scholes is all I have to say

Co sign ^^ Just what exactly did Wilshere do this year for Arsenal to win the young player of the year award. Help them from the quadruple to 4th? Didnt he start every game this year? Where was his magic then. I didnt see it.

He won it because the people that played against him so fit to vote him as the best young player. You say he helped us get from a quadruple to 4th but forget to mention that he was the stand out player in the midfield that got us to that stage . Going into the CC final we where in all 4 competiton. Wilshere faded toawrds the end because he is still a kid. And that was his first full season. Nani is 24 so for him to win the 'young' award is absurd. Also the Little Pea only got in the United team in the 2nd part of the season. The voting was probaly done before he peaked in the season.
