Guest Stevie Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Arsene Wenger is ready to allow midfielder Jack Wilshere out on loan, but only with the right club. Wilshere became Arsenal's youngest player in both Europe and the Barclays Premier League when introduced during the early part of the 2008/09 campaign. However, Wenger has been cautious in his use of the England Under-21 midfielder this season. Jack Wilshere Rising star: Wenger is willing to listen to loan offers for Jack Wilshere Jack the lad: Wilshere training ahead of Arsenal's final Group H clash The 17-year-old has made just five appearances in total, three as substitute, but is set to feature in a youthful Gunners team for the final Champions League Group H game at Olympiacos tomorrow night. Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers, along with Middlesbrough, have been linked with a temporary move for Wilshere, who turns 18 on January 1. Wenger believes the youngster could benefit from a spell of regular first-team football away from Emirates Stadium. 'There is a chance [for a loan], if we have an interesting opportunity,' the Arsenal manager said. 'I would prefer it to be in the Premier League, but at the top level of the Championship could be interesting as well. 'It is important for Jack to play, so if we find a good opportunity, we will consider it.' We're top heavy in midfield, but if I was toon manager, I would without doubt do everything to get this kid on loan for another option. I've only seen him about six times, and I'm not going to make rash predictions, but I think he has the ability to be as good as Gazza, no really. He'll play for England for years and years, he's better than Aaron Ramsay who's got more experience. Wenger says he'll loan him to the right club, well he has a long history of bumming the toon "best fans in England", "potentially as big as Arsenal", so howay fatty sanction a loan bid for him.

Guest Stevie Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) It mentions Rangers and Celtic being interested, what possible benefit could he get by going there??? Honestly I think if ourhat goes in the ring he's ours. Edited December 9, 2009 by Stevie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7717 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 The only thing working against us getting him could be a concern that he wouldn't play that much for us. If he did come here and didn't play it would be a minor travesty as he looks to be a wonderful player with composure and skills well in advance of his age. If we got him for the remainder of the year with an option to extend beyond that it would be nice. Obviously he'll always be one for Arsenal (been there since he was 9 according to wikipedia) but he'd be a good player to have here for a year or so.

Holden McGroin 6859 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I think I read something about Wilshere saying that the Championship wouldn't suit him and he only wants to go on loan to a PL club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stevie Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I think I read something about Wilshere saying that the Championship wouldn't suit him and he only wants to go on loan to a PL club. Big difference between Newcastle and other Championship clubs though, and I'm sure he'd view it that way. Good experience for him, playing in a winning team, medal at the end of the season, in front of big crowds, bigger away supports than he's used to with Arsenal's pathetic following, he'd enjoy while making our play more attractive.

I'd love him here and think he'd easily start for us at home, perhaps bench away at some of the trickier grounds. I can't see him going to Scotland. It's a shit league, lower standard than the Championship an it's further to go from home. I could see him joining QPR onloan due to the money they've apparently got and the relative proximity to Arsenal, but if he thinks with his head he'd see we're in need of his kind of player and he'd be alongside genuine internationals and seasoned premiership pros.

wykikitoon 21173 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Wenger wont let his players goto Scotland from what Ive heard. The Gooners already have a couple of players already in the Championship so he wont have a problem with us. So if it was us or the Smogs, I am sure he & wenger prefer it was us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1892 0 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Surely it'd get his confidence right up if he comes here, plays for the remainder and we get promoted (champions). Good player, hope we sign him on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Bruce and wenger are pals aren't they? I can see him going there ahead of the Championship. Also, while we may not be a typical Championship team, he still would have to play against that sort of shit every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffidae 0 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 who would he replace in our current line-up , and what long-term impact would that have on that player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Guthrie/Ryan Taylor for starters. hopefully it would spur either player on not to be so shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffidae 0 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Guthrie/Ryan Taylor for starters. hopefully it would spur either player on not to be so shit. they’re playing right sided midfield/winger, Wilshere is a left sided attacking midfield. I only ask the question because I imagine he would play instead of Jonas, Nolan or even a returning Barton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6859 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 The championship is just a slugfest really and we arent exactly a pretty team. He may want to play at the (much) higher level to test himself against better players anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a thinbare squad as it is! exactly. we need the bodies. Pancrate can change a game with his pace(from what I've heard), and we don't have much of it in our squad. We'll never get Wilshire permenantly, we'd be lucky to get him on loan. As it is, we've taken a pacey, experienced winger on a free transfer. Nowt wrong there.

Giraffidae 0 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 so, would you still sign him if he wants to play in his preferred position as a central attacking midfielder? which it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
