Bournemouth fans on Wilshere;
If money was no object then we'd be mad not to go for Jack Wilshere. We could also play him alongside Lewis Cook.
Obviously they couldn't play together as a midfield two, but when you have players of that quality, you adapt the system to make it work. That would likely mean 3 in midfield with a more defensive player brought in too
Imagine a midfield 3 of Wilshere, Cook, and either: Gosling/inform Arter/a new midfield battler.
we can dream.
Imagine the purse strings will be looked after carefully with training ground and stadium to budget for. Keeping hold of Cook AND attracting someone like Wilshere is probably beyond our reach. Just keeping hold of cook will be hard enough over the next year or two.
We need creativity in midfield, so Wilshere or Maddison (or Ollie Watkins) would all be good signings. Especially as Cook, Gosling, Arter and Surman are all primarily defensive midfielders. We don't have a single attacking midfielder.
Jack Wilshere is magic
He wears a magic hat
And when he came to Bournemouth
He said, I fancy that
I'll never play for Palace
Cos Pardew is a prat
I'd rather play for Bournemouth in the famous red and black
Crystal Palace are after him apparently but I wouldn't put it past Eddie going forward if we went back in for him in January for a full transfer.
He loved it down here that's a fact,and if we are to stay in the Premier League long term,then we need quality players like Jack Wilshere in the squad.
Eddie Howe on Wilshere (January 2018):
"Absolutely, I don't see why Jack Wilshere cannot make that squad," said Howe, of Wilshere's World Cup chances.
"I'm sure it's a target for Jack and the way he's played I don't see any reason why he won't be a huge player in (England manager) Gareth Southgate's mind.
"I'm sure Jack will get a warm reception here. He was very popular in our dressing room and he did very well for us."
