I imagine the same will apply to Walcott when he gets older that although he may be a centre forward, he won’t mind dropping out to the wing to create space for team mates, stretching the opposition back line, before using his electric pace to run through to Wilshere’s perfect through balls!

good article!

I love watching players like Wilshire. Having tried to play football myself for over 20 years I know it is difficult to keep a composed head when in possession. Hoofing the ball in no particular direction is easy enough to do when a player comes to close you down, but to act in the calm and collected fashion that Wilshire does at such a young age is incredible.

I’d love to see him at Old Trafford. I really think he could provide the stability and invention United sometimes lack in the middle of the park. However, I know that United would have to cough up a hefty sum to snatch him from the Emirates. A sum that they just haven’t got. Also, Wilshire looks like he suits Arsenal and I doubt he would want to leave.

I’ll have to save my admiration for him in England games. He is truly a class act. I just hope he delivers to his promise.

You summed Wilshere up perfectly, a real talent, who appears to improve with every game

Along with Wayne Rooney (when he returns to form) I think the Arsenal duo form the three musketeers that Capello that will take England into a new era.

I haven’t been exposed to Wilshire as much as I would like, but I recall seeing him in a friendly tournament – maybe the Emirates cup – two seasons ago and even then, he looked like a class act.

Having watched him on and off ever since, I can vouch that he is a very gifted individual indeed.

He is one of those rare players that recieves the ball with an elegance and not only that, he receives the ball whilst turning in the right direction and moving out of tight spot with the ball.

When he has players around him, he can access the ball in a tight space and effortlessly carry the ball in and out of danger. I honestly believe this is one of the hardest skills to develop in football. Anyone can do a couple of step overs and look menacing, but what Wilshire does on the ball is a rare gift.

Very few players have the gift to slow a game down and to pick out a seemingly impossible pass, Wilshire can and he does it at will.

He’s an exciting prospect for any Arsenal follower and I am confident that he will have a bright future for England.

Hopefully by 2014, Walcott will have defined his crossing abilities, which still seems to be the one element to his game that lets him down.

His rapid pace makes him unplayable and a headache for defenders. But, if he can increase his crossing success rate he can become the most devestating winger to do an England shirt.
