Jack Wilshere and our future midfield

[Nayan]

Comparing Jack to Makalele or Gatusso is difficult because they are obviously completely different players.

If you are comparing size, then Gatusso was the same size as Roy Keane and has about 2 stone of weight over Jack. He could physically bully and intimidate midfields in ways Jack never will.

Makalele was just an exception to every rule. He was similar size to Jack but could jump a mile and was still a strong guy. I know Jacks put on size but he still gets swatted around a lot in midfield and spends as much time on the floor as actually playing! He obviously gets targeted but hopefully he just learns to deal with it.

I wonder if Jack and Ramsey could strike up a partnership with a similar dynamic to Keane and Scholes.

there is no exception to a rule. If there was it wouldnt be a rule.
And the point was that football fans' fetich with being being and imposing is ridiculous. You're not the only one though - plenty of numpty managers have wasted huge sums on shit central midfielders who offer nothing other than speaking french, being tall and looking a bit nubian, like. You dopnt need to be 6foot 2 to play in midfield.
