Lets face facts PG, the only reason you like Jack is A) Because he is English and B) Because he is dirty.
No doubt he is a fantasticly talented young player and has easily been the best English mid this season but its precisely because he is English that his failings have been glossed over by both fans and especially by the media.
If he was French he would have been called out a few times over some of his performances and the fact he goes MIA.
He is still too raw, when he is flying high he is very VERY good, when he can't get into the game he goes missing, and he gets very rash with his tackles.
I still think fit and on form, Diaby, Song and Fabregas is our best midfield. Trouble is however, Diaby is always injured and its for exactly that reason that Wilshere has played as much as he has done.
Wilshere is a good passer of the ball, he likes to get stuck in, and he is up for a dog fight, Diaby is more skillful, a better dribbler and much more powerful in his runs, not to mention a much bigger goal threat.
If it were upto me however, and Ramsey hadn't had his horrific injury, he would be playing in that CM spot...
He is better than Wilshere, Diaby and Denilson IMO...
I disagree. You are talking as if Diaby has been amazing. Diaby has had so many years to prove his worth and he is still inconsistent. His performances are terrible one day and then amazing the next.
Wilshere has been good. He has creativity, he can pick out a pass that others (apart from Cesc or Arshavin) cant see. His contribution has been immense. I have also highlighted some mistakes he has made and I agree because he is english there is a bias towards him which means he gets away with a lot more than he should.
But he has been pretty good and his contribution has been greater than Diaby has ever made. We have too many fancy players as it is what we need is some grit. Wilshere gives us some grit and bite in midfield.
Diaby alongside Fab and Song is amazing, when he doesn't play with those two, he is often poor/inconsistent.
I don't think his contribution in 5 months has been greater than Diaby has ever made, thats just pure tripe IMO.
He has been good, very good in some games, but he has gone missing a lot this season, due in no small part to his lack of experience, and that is never picked up on.
Just because he is the next young English prodigy, he has been mega hyped, and just goes to show that there is an air of xenophobia amongst everyone, because if Diaby or Denilson had come off the back of some of the games when Wilshere had gone missing they would have been absolutely, and ridiculously slated and the fire burning against both of them would have just been fuelled more, such is the extent that those two are hated by some of our fans.
Yet Wilshere is often praised when he is poor, like he can do no wrong...That annoys me...
Anyway, like i said, in an ideal World, AW would have spent and bought a proper box to boxer, or Ramsey wouldn't have broken his leg.
If Ramsey hadn't broken his leg, Wilshere wouldn't have gotten a look in, no doubt in my mind who is the better out of those two.
