This time last season he was playing really well but did the odd silly thing off the field and got slaughtered even though he outshone Ramsey despite Rambo's goals.
Then he got injured, an extended time out and came back. Every time he took to the field from then on he was very good, superb or masterful. Now he has another short/medium set back but sell him over my dead body.
We shouldn't sell him. Scored some incredible goals and he may have added long ranging shooting to his arsenal. He's still young and we have plenty of cover in the midfield but he needs to work his socks off this year. The constant injury set backs just slows his development.
Wilshere is probably the best talent to come through our academy in decades.
Phenomenal player.
:lol: heard it all now.
Jack played well but the team was not playing well at all. He doesn't fit with how Arsenal plays and more importantly be marginalized Özil and forced Santi to the bench.Quote:

I actually agree it's a position we're not short in. But he's got real quality and if he can just get over his injury problems he could be a good player for us.
It's always difficult with players who have persistent injuries. Many (me included) were calling for RvP to be sold just before he had that season for us where he dragged us into 4th place virtually on his own. It's easy to have 20:20 hindsight afterwards about these things.
We have that problem without Jack. Ozil played on the wing against Chelsea so Ramsey can play. It's down to the manager. It shouldn't take injuries to him from playing players out of position.Quote:

thing with Ramsey/Ozil vs. Jack/Ozil is that Jack operates in Ozil's space whereas Ramsey does not.Quote:
