"Jack Wilshere is a professional hospital patient whose career has been blighted by football. "

Vidal is closest player to Scholes in todays football, Scholes is much better ofc.

Well in today's football Scholes wouldn't have it as easy imo.
Nowadays playmakers need to be able to tacke a lot and good as well.

I think that's one thing that makes Kroos so good.

Valencia have confirmed that they have signed midfielder Enzo Perez from Benfica, for a fee believed to be around €25m.

is it transfer season already? LETS TRANSFER ALL THE GOOD BENFICA PLAYERS!!

Not bad for a 28 year old player, but probably worth it for Valencia. He's a beast of a player.

Gedion Zelalem is now a U.S. citizen! All signs seem to point to him commiting his international future to the USA. Even if he doesn't pan out, this can only be good news for the USMNT going forward.

Seems like we are finally breaking the mould of the typical USA player (strong, gritty, hard-working, etc) and getting some actual skill guys. Granted, it's basically by poaching them from other countries, but whatever, I'll take it!

Nice, better for him too. Will play alot more than if he chose Germany (unless becomes a world star) and he gets to see World Cups and experience them which will benefit Arsenal too.

The results of the poll shows us that no one (of course including Wenger and Hodgson) knows what to do with young Jack XD

How do people still support this manager? He said the exact same thing 2 years ago:

Wow I guess hating Jack Wilshere is the new FotM.

At above: What is he supposed to say? If he says the team is looking to sign players he looks desperate and loses bargaining power. Plus it could hurt team morale as it makes it look like the manager doesn't trust them.

Wenger may be stubborn but he's not stupid. Don't take anything he says at face value.

I am so curious what will come out of this poll
Poll: What type of player is Wilshere to you?

(Vote): Khedira, Bender (box to box, defensive minded)
(Vote): Schweinsteiger, Vidal (box to box, offensive minded)
(Vote): Kroos,Gundogan (jack of all trades)
(Vote): Fabregas (offensive minded)
(Vote): Pirlo (central, strong passing)
(Vote): Other




Where is the "a shit Paul Scholes" option? Because that's what Wilshere is.


Scholes would fall into Schweinsteiger/Vidal or Pirlo category imo?

Is that based on the only entertaining part of all of Alex's ferguson's autobiography (no I don't know why I read it either) where he talks about it been dangerous to take a piss at their old training ground (presumably they had no toilet) because Scholes was like a sniper and would always try and hit people in the back whilst they where taking a leak with a long range effort. Apparently he nailed garry Neville from 45 yards.

Honestly i never heared of this guy.

Short version: he's another "next big thing" kid - 17 years old, plays for Arsenal, has a couple senior team appearances to his name, compared to Fabregas in terms of his play style. Someone feel free to correct me if any of that is inaccurate.

But Jonjo Shelvey got charged with violent conduct for his incident with Emre Can. The inconsistency with the punishments sickens me.

Its not inconsistency... if the ref judged the incident no matter what, there can't be any punishment after it. Its such a stupid rule

At least he's not the 'new' Messi. There must be like 150 of them out there.
