Wilshere injured....again

[Power n Glory]

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...

You say that now but we don't what's round the corner. We shouldn't be wasteful with our resources in case of a rainy day. I have a feeling that rainy day will come with Silent Stan at the helm. We win the title.this year and the guy may start pulling back on spending so he can finance his LA Rams move.

I think that's a level of prudence too far mate. I mean, if we can't feel free to spend our money now, with all this stadium income and this ridiculous new Sky deal, then when? When will it ever be the right time under Stan? He might decide to pull back on spending whatever we do with our resources - I really don't see a new deal for Wilshere making any difference to his plans for us one way or the other...

You could see it in the way he played. He was supposed to be the holding player but how often would he go roaming forward?

Do you think Flamini has discipline problems when off the pitch and troublemaker? I mean just look at today's performance.

Need him back to save our season. At least when he does play he can pass a ball and at least attempt to tackle. He puts our current two imposters in Midfield to shame.

[Xhaka Can’t]

He writes checks his body can't cash.

Another with whom we need to cut our losses.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

His body can't write cheques.

[Xhaka Can’t]

His body can't write cheques.

Exactly.

I can't imagine Wilshere being worse than Ramsey.

We have had no midfield for weeks,this was an accident waiting to happen. Another one of our handful of no shows we have every season.
