Got to love Jacks enthusiasm but you can't help feel he'll regret saying this a few years down the line!

cesc/clichy etc. were all spouting such bollocks a few years ago; now here we are.
when he gets used to playing at the top level and the novelty wears off brace yourself for 'i've got to win things' tallking points.
i am jaded by all these fickle fairweather badge-kissing tripe that passes for loyalty and grit.
‘Arsene was very cautious and David was very ambitious for the club,’ said former director Keith Edelman, managing director at the time. ‘He was very good at getting Arsene into a position where he was comfortable spending money.’
The board have said if wenger identifies a player he really wants and he needs the money it's there. Wenger doesn't think it's worth it!
Totally agree.no doubt.

I don't doubt Jack really believes in his comments at the moment but loyalty in football is a thing of the past.
I hope I'm proved wrong but I doubt we'll all be heading over to the Emirates to watch Wilshere's testimonial in 10 years time! Or any Arsenal players testimonial for that matter!
Eboue will still be here.
The King Is Back.
Oh crap. I forgot about him.
But I stand by my comment; "I doubt we'll all be heading over to the Emirates to watch"!
Eboue will get a full house....as should every player who get's a testimonial.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
I'm really not sure if you're being serious!
Are you actually saying;
a) Eboue will be here in 10 years time?
b) He'll get a testimonial?
c) 60,000 people will go and watch it?
a) he doesnt need to be here in another 10 years. Hes been here since 2005 i think so another 4 will do it
b) If hes here, then why not?
c)doubt it but there'll be a decent turn out i reckon depending on ticket prices.
a) My general point at the begining was that I think testimonials are a dying thing and we wont be seeing any in 10 years time, but I take your point.
b) It's all a bit hypothetical, he could go on an amazing run of incredible form from now until then, but at the moment he's pretty far down the pecking order and has never cemented a regular starting role, you rarely see a testimonial for such bit part players.
c) To be honest, if he were to have one, I'd be there! I've actually got a lot of time for him. But from the majority of people I speak to and the reactions of those I sit near to at the ground, he's not the most popular of characters!
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...075399,00.htmlJack Wilshere insists Arsenal can challenge for the Premier League title this season if they sign 'a few more players' before the transfer window closes.
The 19-year-old midfielder was part of the Gunners team that was booed from the pitch in Sunday's pre-season friendly draw with New York Red Bulls.
Arsenal's lack of business in the transfer market no doubt fuelled the frustration of the Emirates crowd, with various deficiencies in Arsene Wenger's squad yet to be addressed.
Key players such as Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri are not guaranteed to stay in North London this summer, while Wenger's only signings so far have been young centre-back Carl Jenkinson and forward Gervinho.
England international Wilshere knows the heat is on his side to break their six-year silverware drought this season, and he believes a couple of new faces could prove the difference.
He told the Daily Mail: "We are not a spending club but we still managed to stay up there with the top teams. And we have to win things this year.
"Maybe if we had a few more faces we could really push on. If we get a few more players we can really challenge for the title.
"Around March and April we have to stay really strong. We are confident we can be up and around it then so we have to remain strong at that crucial time."
Wilshere limped out of Sunday's friendly with an ankle injury that could rule him out of England's opening game of the new campaign, a friendly against Holland on August 10th.
