Ya I guess I should give him more time but I dont quite think he will live up to expectations for some reason.

Hes tenacious yes but not quite got the tackling/defensive skills to be a dm.
He likes going forward but is often easily dispossesed and lacks the vision and shooting skills to be a great creative midfielder.
As another poster suggested I think he needs to adapt his game because he often looks a bit lost out there in my opinion.

We all remember his game against barca yes and those 2 goals in the champions league last season but to be honest I dont remember a whole lot else to praise him on since.

I suppose, he only scored Goal of the Season this year, what would we want with someone like that?

No way has he peaked and barring a disastrous season he shouldn't be anywhere near sell him level.

No issues with being dropped but he has a lot to offer the squad, I still think he has a huge future for us

I think cause Aaron Ramsey stepped it up big time, many are getting on Wilshire's back. then that article with Scholes saying he's not progressed with Arsenal has added more fuel to the fire.

I think a great World Cup with him shining and one injury free season where he truly shines will certainly put the doubters in their place. I think him and Ramsey and Ox will be a awesome that's for sure.

I think we should get the great cesc back and sell wilshere to chelski.......:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

What really annoys me about the whole Cesc situation is how Barca have treated him.

After all of that tapping up,a different Barca player in the papers everyday talking about Cesc and his Barca DNA,years of persistence. Then they finally get him and 3 years into his first contract with him they want him gone.

This is a decision they have made after selling Thiago to Bayern, Xavi in the twilight of his career and Iniesta the wrong side of 30. As was mentioned earlier, logic is not always a part of football.

Hmmm now apparently Jose isn't interested in Cesc.

Nice how all these guys keep the good folk of the tabloid media up to date with their thoughts, isn't it.

So what's that 10 million ad clicks later and we're back where we started.

I'm surprised that they wanted him seen as they sold of Mata who's the same kind of player. I think it's between Utd and Arsenal. City don't need him.

Spanish Johnny

Felt from the start he will end up with United. They will swoop late on when we have our business done and that gives both Wenger and Cesc the get out clause they both need.

Hope I am wrong but thats my feeling on it.

I hear even Untied aren't too keen either. I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed at Barca to fight for his place.

gosplan

Barca would be nuts to let him go before getting someone in.

Alfred Borden

Cesc to Munich?

Fooker

Think Utd. need defensive midfielders and Mata, Kagawa play a similar position. With Rooney and Van Persie they have to play a front 6 of:

Mata CM CM Kagawa

Rooney Van Persie

Then add in Januzaj, not sure Fabregas would be suited as the CM, they need a Fernandinho - Touré axis.

Once again I don't think they are calling out for that type of midfielder.

Liverpool are but I don't think Cesc missus would be to into that.

They are going for one of the A.Madrid midfielders (thinks it's Konke) players as a replacement and see how they are in debt I think they could get him.

He wants to be a centre midfielder doesn't he. I really think he's going to be a top class player.

Me too, i really think he could go down as our best ever. I think he is best off out the wing, no room in the middle for him.

With Theo being turned into a striker eventually, I say he be playing out the wing for a few wings, I doubt he complain as long as he's playing.

Agreed, lad is too talented not to be starting next year. Ramsey Ozil Theo and Ox should be 4 certs out of 6 for midfield and up top.

Looper007

Ox has been very good and Wilshire has played well. Good to see them get some game time.

Oh yeah like the look of him and he's young, he could get better with a group of great players around him. 15 million would do it. Is he a French International?

Been saying him for months!
He's young,cheap and from France.

Yup he is an international but havent seen him get a run out for them yet. Allows us to blow 50 million on a Cavani type striker then.

Yep plus a right back and GK for a cheap price.

He's played well in big games for the saints.
