    Wilshere out till october, i think something is very wrong. I also don't see why you guys always put him in our predicted squads, i imagine after over a year out of football he will start out in the reserves and its questionable if he'll be the same player. Lets hope he's not another michael owen, that would be sad, and i would be one to say he has been mismanaged by wenger, he played too many games !
    My betting is he'll turn 21 with only 2 PL goals to his name. There's no real coming back from that. To catch up experience wise he'll need 50-60 game seasons, yet his body won't be ready for that.

    Wilshere as a top talent is over. Shame because he does love football and I have a lot of time for that.

    It's the full-backs which is my main worry. They can't defend to save their lives (apart from Sagna). But it looks like Arsene is just going to ignore this issue (like the GK debacle).

    Lol, why is everyone talking like Wilshere's recovery is a forgone conclusion?

    I only see people talking of the 2 extremes. Some people are saying how he will come back as good as ever because he is mentally strong (Wenger would be proud :rolleyes:), and the rest are saying that his career is over.

    My view on the situation is that we should plan for a season with out Wilshere, it seems that Wenger is too if his interest in Sahin and Cazorla is true, and try to ease Jack back in without too much pressure.

    In my opinion, anything we do get from Jack this season is a bonus. His long term future is more important which is why we shouldn't have to rely on him this season.

    Unfortunate to hear about Wilshere. Talented player, but can't see him returning to the level he was at or exceeding that level. Hopefully he does a Sam Hutchinson and recovers as quickly as possible.

    Is it just me or has he left Twitter?

    Your medical staff are unbelievable :facepalm2: You might as well just wait or send players down to A&E. Value added by a costly medical team, zero.

    If I remember correctly, he left Twitter a while ago to focus on training and recovering fitness (this was before his latest injury, I think).

    Wilshere was always going to be coming back in October according to Wenger (though Wilshere wanted an early comeback in September), so I don't see what everyone's on about?

    Our Medical staff are questionable but that's how Wenger likes it because without a faulty backroom we wouldn't have seen the likes of Cesc, Cole, Van Persie, Wilshere, Scheszney etc take their opportunities and it also saves Wenger spending in the transfer window as the long term injured can be classed as "New signings"

    It works both ways so we're happy with it.

    You can't actually be serious about that?

    Are you seriously saying Wenger purposefully wants a poor medical team? That's just ridiculous.

    Seriously stop making massive conjectures. It only serves to make you look foolish.

    Why does everyone act like they know what's going on?

    How can anyone possibly say his career is over? That's preposterous. People inside Arsenal have said that he is progressing quite well. There really is no basis to write him off.

    After the initial shock, first thing that I asked: "Can I get it an Arsenal shirt?" Prospective father's response: "No." Still going to, though.

    Without injuries to Vieira, Dixon, Kanu, Petit, Gilberto, Pires then we would have probably seen Cesc still on loan at Celta Vigo and co-owned by Espanyol, Van Persie breaking through at some mid table German club, Ashley Cole just completing a £12m move to Tottenham after 4 great seasons at Villa and Jack Wilshere acting as reserve to Mark Noble and Alexandre Song sealing a move to Marsielle after winning the title with Montpellier.
