Jack Wilshere

[Villan10]

Villan,what's your opinion on Albrighton?

Good player but not sure he's got that international quality. Although it's only his first season in the Premiership so maybe that's harsh. He's extremely direct and at the moment, a little one trick pony, although very successful one. A great crosser of the ball. In my opinion, one of the best in the league, has okay pace. Isn't blistering but let's say he's quick enough to open up a yard of space and put the ball in. I'd prefer on National stage, patient build up, intelligent players and wingers drifting inside looking to get inside the full backs rather than having wing back who are simply going to whip crosses in. Great enthusiasm, energy and ability to put a ball into the box but just think his all round game lacks that touch of class to make it. More likely to see F.Delph I think.

Cheers for that,i can only go off highlights etc. but more or less what i was thinking.

I'd prefer him over Young.

Gotta say I'm very impressed with Albrighton, but he doesn't seem to get attention cos it's all focused on Ashley Young. This is Albrighton's first season playing proper Prem games for Villa and he's been fantastic.

Not as fast as Walcott, though still quick, but he's more intelligent on the ball. Also beckhamesque in crossing and balls into the box. Has scored some goals too. One against Man U. He also tracks back and defends. He kind of reminds me of Arsenal Arshavin (on a good day).

Quality player with a great heart and lungs, never say die spirit,and gets his foot in where it hurts, and only a young lad to. My only negative concerning the lad is nothing to do with his on the pitch activity, it’s to do with the media hype surrounding the newly adopted golden boy of English football tag labelled upon him,it does get annoying,and may be a touch premature I think.

JackShit hasn't exactly pulled The Arse fat out of the fire at The Swamp! I think he is a typical Arse player - wants everything to go his way and sets about the ref if he gets tackled, although it'a quite alright for him to kick the crap out of people. One of Wenger's whingers. Might be a good midfielder but he is feted by being twenty and English. I am open to be surprised if he is the Arse captain and new Bergkamp by the time he is in his mid-twenties.

See the thing is you have already made your mind up and because thats that you will never think any different. Even if he won world player of the year you would say the exact same thing you have here

Read this bit! I pretty made my mind up about Jack when he was in the Arse youth team, but the above clause suggests that my mind is not closed!
