Great if he stays but our midfield needs some reconstruction so I wouldn't feel too bad about him leaving. While Wilshere has somewhat proved his fitness I don't think his proved his quality consistently over the past two seasons.

Our poor form has coincided with him in the team.

That's his problem though.

Max Meyer will be available for a free this summer too. younger, less injury prone and similar in his style of play compared to Jack. Also will demand less in wages.
Being completely honesty Jack has been pretty average. solid but not special. which is perfect for a squad player, but not a starter.
I do still think he will sign, but his performances have to go up a few notches ala Özil around Nov/Dec if he wants to up his pay package.

I’m certain he’ll demand what he can get on an open market which means obscene amount considering second tier teams like Everton can pay up over 100k in wages, especially if a player came on a free.

"He earns more so he spends more".... So what, the poor must feel sorry for him that he has expensive cars, houses, gadgets etc etc etc. My word, the world has lost the plot.

Think the point GoonerZig was making was that fans expect players to accept whatever deal they get because a weeks wage is way more than most earn in a year. Wilshere obviously would have higher than usual outgoings so he'd also want a better weekly wage if he can get it, especially when his mate Drinkwater is on 120,000 a week and Barkey reportedly on 150,000 a week.
Think his point was spot on to be honest and I don't know what the fuss is about. All he said was Wilshere would have higher outgoings and is a high earner compared to the general public so whilst 80,000 a week to some here is amazing to Wilshere it would just be normal.

To be fair, neither Barkley nor Drinkwater deserve more than 80K a week...

Can't make his mind up
It’s not a ton of money, he’s been mostly fit for a year and a half now, and if we don’t give it to him, someone else will. Just sign him up and move on.

Terrible hot takes
I agree for sure
But his starting status doesn't warrant his wage sadly
But we have always had this issue it seems.. .
I cant see any other team willing to risk it thou
YeahBee
Terrible hot takes
U really think another team would take the chance?
A mid to lower league team cant afford such a risk
A better team he would lessen his chances of actually playing compared to us
MLS is my bet if he doesn't sign a new contract ... Hed be a super over there

It's a difficult one. The heart says he should stay because he's one of us and that's why many want him to succeed. Realistically though he hasn't lived up to the expectations we had of him when he first burst onto the scene. I'd be gutted to see him leave but if the club decided to let him go then I can see where they're coming from.

He should test “ free agency”. My money is on no major European club signing him. High risk with low rewards. Let him walk.

I thought there was a ban on this **** ?
It ain't witty, funny or clever anymore mate.....
Wilshere, Wilshere, Wilshere, Wilshere, Wilshere..........
Anyway, Wilshere and Ramsey are connected when it comes to contracts.
Both are high risk in terms of injury
Both take up similar positions on the park
Both expect to be first teamers
It's just that Wilshere contract is up first but I do think Ramsey will eventually be offered something similar next season or once Jack signs.
You only keep one unless you can tie them both down on these contracts.
I just fear that we let Wilshere go and keep Ramsey.
First, Jack is not a 20-30m asset, otherwise he would've been sold last summer.
Second, he's not being penalized for being injured, but the reality is that he's very very injury prone. What the club doesnt want is another squaddy on big wages that just sucks up budget that could be used on another player. Not to mention, squad players on big wages are hard to shift.
Finally, Jack just hasn't shown he can be top class. The risk is too high. If anything, I'm surprised they are trying to keep him.
Those were terrible decisions andan think the club now realises that now. Especially with the new structure, I suspect we will be more ruthless in our recruitment and with our squad. It's why we shifted Walcott et al

Wants you to learn about football
What team would go for Wilshere apart for Everton?
Liverpool? chelsea? Sp**s? united? City?
i dont think so.
If he wants to play for a top club he has to stay with us and accept his squad player level with a squad player salary.
We made the mistake with Walcott because liverpool was pushing, in this case no top club is interested.

Young player eg AMN gets 5k-25k per week
Bench player eg Elneny gets 50k per week
Consistent first 11 player eg Xhaka gets 90k-110k per week
Nailed on first teamer eg Mikhi gets 200k per week
Star marquee getting, eg Özil gets 350k per week
Drinkwater and Barkley are apparently on 90k per week in Chelsea....... they have overpaid for them but still it is hard to argue Wilshere deserves to be paid more than those 2.

People said that about Ox but look at him now, looks a hell of a lot better than he ever did for us. Wilshere walks into that Liverpool midfield any day of the week.
