    Most didn't want him gone. I did. Not because of what he did on the pitch, because of what he did off it. But the point is we all have lessons to learn, me, you, the rest. Some don't want to see it.

    The funny thing is, Sagna's probably off in the summer. So some posters here will literally hate every single player at the club.

    Wilshere will one day show himself as even better than Ramsey.

    Problem is smoking causes cancer

    Personally I doubt it, I always saw the potential in Ramsey even before the injury.

    I just don't get Wilshere, there's so little end product with him and defensively he's a liability, what I also don't like is almost everything he does seems to involve going through the middle of the defence, I guess that's the consequence of growing up through the youth scheme with Wenger in charge.

    He's basically been massively hyped because he's English, might be a decent footballer but that's it IMO, when he had his spell at Bolton I was pretty underwhelmed personally.

    Ramsey's certainly demonstrated that we need to give Wilshere time. Almost a carbon copy in terms of injuries blighting his development. I think Wilshere isn't really doing enough to justify being first choice MF - and I would dearly love to see Ox or Santi tried alongside the Flam in CM, but I ain't writing him off yet.

    Wilshere is inconsistent at the moment and shouldn’t be an automatic first team starter. He has loads of potential but which young first teamer doesn’t? Over the last 10 years we’ve seen plenty of young team players come and go and we don’t know what’s on the cards for his career. He’s still got a long way to go, he’s struggling and I still say it was a mistake to reward him with that massive contract. We should be keeping our young players hungry and dish out the big contracts when they start producing consistently.

    If he sorts out his decision making in front of goal, starts to learn how to use his right foot, learns when and when not to dribble, sorts out his positional awareness, he’ll be a good little player. He’s still very raw.

    He's gone backwards during his injury. Now he needs to relearn some things, not necessarily his technical skills but his pitchcraft. Understandable that he feels the need to make up for lost time, but his first instinct these days is to take a few touches.

    Watch back his performance against Barca (the one everybody raves about) and it's clear it's a much more measured and mature performance. And it was notable because of who it was against. Too many players flatter to deceive, look like world-beaters against mediocre opposition and then flop against quality. Jack played defensive midfield against Barcelona, widely regarded as one of the best attacking midfields in the world at that time. And he wasn't out of place.

    It's that kind of performance that still has people believing. Ramsey is a case in point. Prior to his renaissance he was losing the ball more than any other player in the team. Now he's a f*cking beast.

    Jack can be a frustrating player to watch right now.
    He needs to refocus and tweak his game, but he is well capable of it.

    Out for 6 weeks.

    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
