Wilshere may have had a few off-field issues but nothing detrimental to his football, with that he's gone from strength to strength. Walcott, on the other hand, has been busy telling Wenger and Capello how it should be. He's as dumb off the pitch as on it in football terms. We may get lucky and he'll wise up and start performing, but so far no sign of that. He doesn't seem to have any competition for his place and I'm wondering why.
