Wilshere is overrated due to his age and GHELishness tbf
I don't agree. Walcott was over-rated because he was young and English but I've seen Wilshere enough to believe he's the real deal.
Wilshere has impressed at club and international level in a way Walcott didn't at his age.
you're right he is but he is still a better all round player than ramsey at the moment. not by a country mile but his game is more developed.
Wilshere was, by some distance, our best performer last season over the course of 38 games. You had Nasri playing brilliantly for 2-3 months but Jack was consistently excellent (though not as good as Nasri at his best). His natural ability can't be questioned - he's capable of doing shit that quite frankly Cesc and many other top players aren't. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3pZaRvt6g8 ...he steps up a gear in the big games (see Carling Cup final and his motm performance against Barcelona: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W8Ie4MyRX0 ). He was playing in a more defensive position for us last season (which is why Cappello started making comparisons with Makelele and everyone went mental) but this season he should get forward now that Cesc is no longer our no.10/ACM. Needs to add goals to become the complete player but he has shown he has everything else in his locker.
The biggest question is that will he be able to get back to the level he was at before the injury or will the injury have caused him to go backwards in his development. Ramsey needed a long time before he started to play well (which is now), Eduardo never really got back at all...there's no guarantees that Wilshere will be able to fit back in like nothing happened. But if he does, he's one of the best players in the league. Already.
