Little has been seen of Jack Wilshere in the Arsenal first team sure, the odd substitute appearance here and there, the Carling cup and pre-season but other than that not much.
In the January transfer window he went on loan to Bolton Wanderers and had a successful string of starting appearances and even netted a goal, amazing as it is for an Arsenal fan to be happy Bolton scored a goal what I find amazing is in competitive matches for Arsenal he has played 15 games and got 1 goal and 1 assist which he equalled in his 14 games on loan to Bolton.
This young man has raised a lot of eyes and made many people pay attention, he impressed Owen Coyle (Bolton manager) so much that there is talk of him going back on loan at Bolton this time for the entire season not just half. I for one do not want to see this happen because I think this young man could play a large role in this years battle for a trophy.
With his keen eye for a pass, his surprising strength and his eager approach to tackling he carries a large threat to the opposition, however this is far from an article licking his ass, as impressive as this young man is he does have his downsides, his most visible being his one-sidedness the 18 year old seems to only want to use his left foot it is as if his right does not exist in his mind, which at times means he goes back due to his one footed play style, however he has shown that even with one foot he is a magnificent player so I could only imagine how good he would be if he improved his right foot.
Another thing that says a lot is the fact he is an 18 year old Englishman at Arsenal only six days older than me, Arsene Wenger must see something spectacular in him because he is still at Arsenal, we all know le boss' approach to selling English players but I stray from the topic, with age on his side (probably his left), talent most certainly in his locker and the surrounded by international stars who play such beautiful football he has got role models in the game.
As I look ahead to the Emirates cup, I know probably the only silverware Arsenal will win this year and even thats not certain with AC Milan turning up, I certainly expect and hope to see this wonder kid as I was there last year when he destroyed Rangers almost single handedly, so I will leave you with a video of that game and hopefully I will see Jack Wilshere starting and ending the premier league campaign in an Arsenal shirt not a Bolton shit but ones thing for sure no matter what club shirt this young man wears the England shirt is definatly in his future.
here is the game mentioned above
may I suggest you watch without the sound no offence but Americans can not do football commentary.
for now thats all
