Surprises me that you see the value of Rosicky but don't like Wilshere's game. Seem to do the same functions with equally limited success rates but very easy on the eye. This season wilshere had cut down on his blind alley runs too. Poor bastard just needs to be injury free.
i wouldn't really agree that wilshere's game is similar to rosicky's, but i'd argue they're about equally valuable to the team. meaning, wilshere is a squad player whose market value is prob >20m but his actual value is more like 5-10m. his defending is bad, his attacking play is overrated, his passing is nothing special and his overall play is immature. i'd realise that surplus value and put it into a DM, GK or CF.
i'm sure i'll get shat on by the fanboys here, but imo, james milner is a better player than wilshere. he's more skillful than his reputation and he is better at helping his team win.
