Jack Wilshere

[tuco55]

Spoiler: show

Jack Wilshere is an amazing English talent. In February 2008, he made his debut for Arsenal Reserves against Reading, and scored Arsenal's only goal of the match. In April he made his home debut, against Derby County Reserves, coming off the bench to assist Rhys Murphy. Against a West Ham United side, he set up the first goal for Portuguese striker Rui Fonte and was the scorer of the second goal, a curler that went into the top corner. He then played in the Atalanta Cup along with the club's other Under-16 players where they won the tournament and Wilshere winning player of the tournament.

WFF could be lowered to 4/5 imo, just watching this video notice how he very rarely uses his right foot, even when sometimes it would be better to:

His Debut with Bolton:

[deity86]

Fully agree.

Moved him back to Arsenal and updated Response, Header, Technique, Team Work, WFF and added *TD. I still think some areas may be conservative so hopefully he'll get even more game time next season whether it be on loan somewhere or with us.

I think we need to add CM to his positions, he's been playing there in pre-season and Arsene has hinted he may be used there this season with injuries to Denilson, Fabregas, Song, Diaby etc.

[CDDRodrigo]

He's playing very well in these first friendlies. He could use an update after some games on EPL.

He's playing CMF today as well.

I thought he was poop.

I thought he was poop.

His first touch was quiet dismal today. And basically did nothing all game.

heard a few pundits talking about him ousting gareth barry as england's midfield fulcrum recently

does 42 still accurately denote his defensive qualities?

He needs an overall update for most of his attributes in my opinion.
Let's wait for some more matches to get an accurate evaluation.

[Oswaldo]

He was really amazing against Spurs. If he continues like that then he should get an update for sure.

[CDDRodrigo]

I don't think we need to wait anymore. He needs an update now.

[Jez]

Well, how about some good old fashioned stats discussion?

[pedala robinho]

Well, it's better you guys start the discussion now, because if you wait... It's just a little time to the maniacs fanboys start to post obscenitys here .

[BigStu]

omg whys he not got SPA 90?

[s-cobar]

I have some notes from the past where I worked with Tom or with Deity on some ideas about arsenal players - I´ll search them and post it

Can't wait for this !

Well he was garbage and out of his depth against Liverpool. If he continues like that he should get a downgrade for sure.

[Oswaldo]

well It is a consistency matter. But it's a general trend to forgive the youngsters for their flaws and praise the good things they do. We have to balance the stats between his bad & good days, so what we shall do is to wait more

Well, don't know if this help, but I would to do some comparisons between Wilshere and other players of similar age...

Attack:
Seeing that we have Coutinho (73) and Canales (79), I really believe Wilshere is underrated. I can be wrong, as I'm not a regular follower of this players, but I'm almost sure that Wilshere has a better positioning sense and attacking inteligence than Coutinho, who can be even underrated at 73.

Defence
Worst than both players, Coutinho (46) and Canales (48)? Don't sounds right to my ears, though it can be more a case of decreasing Coutinho a bit and increasing Wilshere some points.

Dribbling Skills
I just see him way far to Coutinho and Canales... I personally see him more like this AGI: 88, DA: 83 and DS: 82.

Passing Skills
His current passing skills are under Coutinho and A LOT under Canales... Don't know, but something don't sounds right to me. Call me crazy, but I have caught some suggestions that sounds even fair to me = SPA: 80, SPS: 80 / LPA: 78, LPS: 77. Ladder-wise, it doesn't looks going overboard.

Response
Four points under Canales, but three above Coutinho... Don't know, maybe a case of rising a bit both Coutinho and Wilshere...

Curling
Deserves a raise, would put him above both Coutinho and Canales. 82 would look fair.

Don't know if this would help, as I really can't make solid comments on this players, but I think at least it can be an incentive .

Stamina: 80

um ... i think 81 or 82 is better

he has been improved a little
