Who cares how he feels frankly, like Diaby we have a player who is never going to stay fit that's a shame but we don't owe these guys a living.
Frankly harsh as it sounds, fuck him....let him resurrect his career with a mid table club, why should we being paying him for not playing. Arsenal is a football club not a convalescence home
You almost kinda sorta maybe had me until you put the 'fuck him' part in there.....
I don't actually agree that we should move him on either. I know the arguments from a business sense but we can neither claim to run entirely as a business all the time, nor a sports club......and so there is room for both as we see fit(no pun intended there).

Probably, gives him more time to go to nightclubs and parties with hot tubs and smoke ciggies., it's a hard life.
Whether you look at it as a sports club or a business it's not conducive to keep him here, when we can offload and have someone in the squad who will actually play.
Why, he never plays and gets paid a fortune. Sounds like a waste of money to me, as has been said we're not a charity and it's not our job and we don't owe him a living, he's done absolutely nothing in his career so far to be deserving of any loyalty.
I agree with that. Injuries will happen and I think Wilshere will recover and get through this phase. Or at least I hope. I wouldn't want to sell him right now. That's a bit too cut throat and a corporate decision and most fans complain about the way our club is going.
But I think we need to review these wages. I'm sure Ox and Ramsey will be up next for massive contracts and it's too much. We can't still have a socialist wage structure and try to keep everyone on similar wages. It's just not smart business.
Doubt Wilshere got injured on purpose. But if he did - fuck him - sell him.
Excellent player though. Just needs a good run of games and for the manager to use him properly and kick a bit of discipline into him. Then again, same could be said of Ramsey, Theo, Ox...
But if we're going to sell him then signing him up to a new contract is a smart move. His fee just went up by tens of millions.

The crazy wages are the result of the money funnel. More being pumped in at the top and more being siphoned off by the players and agents. The extra money is just being washed through the clubs.

This sort of thing would have been an issue a few years back (for example, with Diaby and Rosicky), when additions were scarce, and every penny we had available was precious - back then we really couldn't afford to be a couple of key players down, year after year after year. I'm kind of easy about it this time round though - on the one hand you have to say the wages look obscene, considering what we've been getting in return these last couple of years, but on the other we can comfortably afford it now, it's not stopping us from investing in midfield (as we've just seen), we're not reliant on him being fit, and it doesn't look like we're pinning any future hopes on him either? It's an indulgence on our part, no question about it, but one that we can allow ourselves this time.
The ball's in Wilshere's court now - obviously the club will be hoping that he goes on to fulfil his potential, but it's no skin off our nose if he doesn't. Not much he can do about the injuries, but beyond that it really is up to him whether he wants to be a serious player, or just another nobody who's happy to sit on the bench and take his money...
