i dont know why ...but Wilshere reminds me of messi

A little bit, yes. They both have great balance and a good technique. They don't have useless skills like Ronaldo, they just beat players with their balance and good touch. They both keep the ball close to their feet so it's very hard to take the ball away from them.Double_H said:i dont know why ...but Wilshere reminds me of messi
messi always seems to be able to bounce off people and keep both balance and the ball. i'd be impressed, once seeing Wilshere against real epl players, if he can do the same. the boy is silk, though...finely wrought, smooth, and strong.stiiphunn said:A little bit, yes.

Rohit said:What us? Did you watch the youth tournament last season where we reached the finals and Lansbury won player of the tournament. What do you mean by hunger? Just because Lansbury wasn't running around the ground like a man possessed in his appearances so far, doesn't mean he has no hunger. What 17 year old apart from Jack Wilshere is making strides or showing quality enough that suggests he can be part of the first team albeit against less than mediocre opposition?
It is funny how we all cry and whine for experience in our first team and then write off 17 year olds on baseless assessments.
RockyRocastle said:What a farce of a game that was! Enjoyable though.
Really excited about Wilshere, he looks to have so much potential. There is something of the Messi about him, although obviously not that good.
Ramsey looks a class act aswell, I think he will grow into a top player.
Saying all this though we were playing a pub team.
After all this hype around Barazite aswell it is interesting that Arsène has left him behind and taken Simpson, he looks way short of the required standard. As does Randall. Harsh to write Lansbuy off as he was played out of position.
And eight Englishmen on the pitch at the final whistle, which was very good to see.

10-2, nik with 4, vela 3, Wilshere 2, theo 1, and berglund XI 2.
fun. and you're right, they were s***e again.
How did I watch the last pre-season game and miss this one!
I thought that after the snore-fest last week, watching the dark night would be a better way to spend the afternoon. Looks like I was so wrong.
raidersoftheark said:I don't think anyone is quite writing him off just yet, but they have not shown the required hunger and talent to Wenger and to us, that demonstrates that they are capable of having any part in the upcoming season. We are Arsenal, and it is fair for us to demand these things from 17-19 year olds, because players of this age are already making strides at this club to play in the prem, the FA and the CC.
I can't agree with either of those bolded parts. How can you demand such things from a 17 year old? I've said this before, but we can't let the success we've had from the likes of Fabregas cloud our judgement of other players. Each player is an individual, and they won't all mature as players or even men at the same stage or rate. I think to expect such things is so misguided and just asking for trouble. We have a very promising youth policy, but you need to let it run it's course naturally, and kind of like fruit, pick the players and play them when they are ready.raidersoftheark said:Ok, so Lansbury won player of the tourney. And? That don't justify a ho-hum performance against a team of nobodies from Austria (which has to be the worst team we've face in eons). Yeah, he'll certainly improve (this is why I am not writing him off), but based on his past few matches, he doesn't look good enough for this next season, and that is ultimately what is significant. Especially when Rasmey, Vela, Wilshere, Coquelin, Barazite, Denilson have all looked much better than him and are all around a similar age.
He does look like an outstanding prospect, but I agree. I still think he looks too lightweight, and that could show him up against better opposition. But to me that is his biggest barrier right now. Technically he is obviously amazing for his age, and I was very impressed by what I seen of his mentality tonight, and from what I've read others say about it.Lukazan said:Shall we not wait until Wilshere plays a league game for us, or even just a game against decent opposition before we go asking ourselves such outrageous questions?

HAHA, i also opted on watching the dark knight at the time, what a f****g waste of time.
