Shukes Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Can’t agree with that at all,Walcott has been a good signing. In no way ya is he a waste of money. Yes he was a risk due to his horrendous injury record, but it’s proved to be a shrewd move. Wilshire could be another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilshere has a better injury record than Walcott. But you are happy with Walcott. Yeah.... I recall you being annoyed at McCarthy and his injury proneness being the reason he broke his leg.

Theo is a right winger so i don't think it's a comparitive choice. Whatever you think of wilshere he has a highly regarded fan base of ex pros who believe he is a tremendous footballer.

But in a completely hypothetical world, if there was a choice it would be Walcott. Plus just looking on games played, since Wiltshire started at Arsenal Walcott has made many more appearances than him, so I'm not sure what you mean by Wiltshire having a better injury record. IMO Wiltshire is a YouTube Superstar, whilst Theo has consistently proven he is a great player in this league.

The whole point of this is that he has come through injuries..... hopefully has learned how to manage himself. He had a good spell of games with Bournemouth and of recent his games for arsenal have shown him to be getting back the quality he had. Lots of young players can suffer injuries early on and get a good spell. Look at Gerrard, giggs. £8m signing fee..... bargain if we get him at that.

Wilshere when fit played the majority of games for arsenal in the centre. Theo Walcott has had similar injury issues over a longer period of time and spent time not nailing down a steady role. I'm made up we got Walcott but it bemuses me how someone is ok to have Walcott at £20m yet scoffs at getting wilshere for £8m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walcott was a bargain at £20m due to the inflated market - superb goals and assists combined, proven talent if not always fit. Wiltshire is a Gibson mk2 waiting to rot somewhere for the rest of his career - and now I've said that he is bound to sign and become a superstar! markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makis Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I have nothing against him as a player but I’d be careful to sign too many injury-prone players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Guys Wilshire is a class act ability wise. I’m guessing most of you have only watched highlights etc... and I do t mean that disrespectfully, as he plays for another team. I watch Arsenal quite a bit due to my son, and when he is on the pitch, he is the player that everything happens around. He controls their whole team. I have no idea if he is over his injuries or not, but if he is, then we can’t turn players like that down. He would be better than anything we have. The comments about Gibson mk2 are good insults, but just insults. He is a world away in ability from Gibson. He is a hundred times the player that Gibson was at his best. The only question is his injury record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 And that's the crux of the matter Shukes, he can't be anything like you say he is if he's injured and not playing. We have enough money going out in medical bills as it is. markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Some players are good enough to take on despite a poor injury record. Gibson wasn't, wilshere is. Gibson wasn't arsed about his career and he isnt a patch on jack. Wilshere has been foolish as a young lad but I believe he has a desire to prove himself and reach levels that his potential promised. This kid ran the midfield against the best Barca team in years.... says a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Imo that's a sensible move for Arsenal, they obviously still have reservations about his injury record and don't want to pay him huge sums while lying in the medical room. I,d go one further than that, offer a pay if you play contract, as it should be for all well known sicknotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haiku Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I would rather have Ramsay, but Wilshere is very good as well. For £ 8.000.000 is a no brainer. Sigh, Morgan fucking Schneiderlin earns that for a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what the future holds? Giggs used to suffer injuries all the time in his early years but managed to find a way to balance himself with yoga. The fact remains is that he is a quality footballer who would add quality to our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
