Being reported that he's going to get called up to the England squad tomorrow.

He has officially made it. Bitches on tap.
If we don't sign one, I want to see this guy at DM. His weaknesses right now seem to be judging when to chase the ball and when to cover. He has got done a couple of times every game by being too aggressive. His strengths seem to be close control and finding a sharp pass, and quick interceptions. Think his physical strengths would come into play more. He has a presence that we lack there.
A call up for England is wrong in every way. Why don't these fuckers ever learn. Leave him to be the new boy at Arsenal finding his feet and picking up the experience he needs. Don't elevate him immediately so he jumps from prospect to International in the space of a few weeks. It's just stupid. Wankers are always chasing the "next" Terry or the "next" Rooney or the "next" whatever. It's just disruptive shit and interferes with the natural progression of the player. An England cap is worthless these days. Play one good game and you get selected by the media. Have one bad match and you get slaughtered. Same cunts that say he's ready then change their tune and say the opposite. They don't give a fuck about the player provided they get their column inches bashed out as a side note to their endless jollies. What a job, travel the world and a free pass to all the games just for having an opinion that's good for 24 hours.
Don't know where they get the idea that mingling with fucktards like Rooney is somehow good for careers. What do you get in return for a meaningless call up? Experience of going on a plane? Experience of wearing a different kit? Experience of having a bunch of hype written about you? How is that going to improve what a player does on the pitch?
As I said in the other thread, England CBs have always been good. He'll be competing with players who are better than him. I don't see the harm in it, it's a confidence booster and he should learn a bit. Defensive players generally aren't hyped up by the media, it'll always be the attacking geniuses they're after.
The idea that the likes of Rooney and Terry are out to corrupt younger players isn't true. Their off the pitch antics are personality issues but on the pitch they're not lacking application or a competitive edge or they wouldn't be starting for their respective clubs right now. It's the same with Wilshere, off the pitch stuff seems completely separate. Managers like Ferguson, Mourinho and Wenger don't put up with unprofessional players.
