West Ham 2018/19

I don’t believe we’ll see the same Wilshere that was in his brief prime a few years back.

Agree with this. His many injuries seriously hampered his career, which is a shame because -despite the man apparently being an odious twat- he could have been one of the truly greats.

In a friendly wasn't it? I remember watching one of those friendly pre season cups Arsenal always had, he was being described as Messi like.
Horrid player, horrid individual.

I think it was a champions league game. Bar a few wonder goals the injuries the attitude, inconsistenties and petulance pretty much have summed up his career

One of my mates said he was throwing pound coins from outside of the pub to passers by and calling them peasants and his 'mates' were laughing egging him on. He werent happy when he joined the Hammers

Pellers must have felt he had a point to prove by returning to the Prem after leaving City, but sadly this looks destined to end in tears.

I'm sure the dildo brothers compensation package of a couple of million and unlimited wank mags will cushion the blow of being sacked.

You just know they'll beat us...

I hear you and yes those I believe were his qualities which he showed every now and then for Arsenal and England. But I think successive injuries have hampered his progress - I don’t believe we’ll see the same Wilshere that was in his brief prime a few years back. Off the ball he is a passenger and for a club like us we can’t afford that, let alone another crock earning 100k + a week.

We signed him start of the season so a Manuel/Sullivan signing.

Fair comment.

Bit confused there as u say he doesnt create ...but then admit he is 'composed on the ball' and 'can pick out a decent pass'....
I do like Noble,a damn good player..but maybe his own skills were not enough to drive WHU to any success....perhaps thats why they took a chance on Wilshire....ive always thought wilshere lookeda tidy composed central midfield player...whose main attributes appeared to be moving the ball in a tidy fashion from derp central mid up to attacking areas..his ball retention/control was very good..plays a bit like our Gundogan...you need players like this in a passing team to form a cohesive link between defence and attack.Wilshere would always show for the ball and be comfortable on if...his dribbling skills in tight situations were also top notch iirc...I would have been quite happy if he,d signed for City a few years back.

As you say his injuries have become all to predictable now-but thats not his fault surely?
Just out of interest BH.. was it Manuel who signed the player ,or did he arrive before the manager?

Even if he signed before Manuel officially joined, I’m sure The Engineer had some input.

Getting back to the football.Jack Wilshire could play football..at the highest level.a very talented footballer.i think there is a lot left in the tank yet..imo

There were some on here recently saying Manuel didnt have a clue defensively.
They are a lot quieter now.by all accounts a well drilled defensive unit yesterday,gaining an invaluable point/clean sheet against one of the best teams in the division.

From what I saw, Zabba did very well yesterday.
