Sampdoria bid £6m for Wilshere. Got to be worth a go. More talented than all our central midfielders combined.
But his injury record over the last five years is worse than Carroll's. You can't at the same time hope Wilshere will suddenly be fit all the time and yet write Carroll off as somebody who never will be, when their records are the same.
I think the finances are the key. Plus the status of Carroll. Carroll is deemed our star striker and No.1 when fit. He cost a club record fee at the time and is on reasonable wages.
Wilshere would be an attractive signing as he would cost a lot less due to his injury record and would be competing with 3 others for CM. Our season would not crumble with him unavailable, in the same way it seems to do with Andy. A lot of emphasis is often placed on Andy by the club.
And if Jack did stay fit and play 25+ games. That's some player on our hands.
Injury record aside, did he really stand out for Bournemouth last season?
However, if we went in for him I wouldnt be against it (ignoring add ons) at 6M. At that price you cant really get much of a player these days (especially one with his pedigree).
I think I just talked myself into it ;puzzled ;wahoo
If we get those 4 and maybe Gray aswell I think we will have a nicely balance squad . The problem areas would have been addressed and we have plenty of options and cover.

That's good enough for me, I'm going to bed.
Nothing since the 26th of May.

And his wages will be high.

Wouldn't be too bad for starters.
My only concern would be if Arnie is being bought in as one of two strikers we need.
But otherwise, and making the enormours assumption that we get these deals done, great effort by the board ;clap
(I look forward to you guys quoting this post when he's terrible)
