Wilshere – I need to fight for my place next season
The young Jack Wilshere may have taken the Premiership by surprise this season, but he is by no means resting on his laurels and knows that he will have to improve if he wants to keep his place in the England and Arsenal teams next season.
Wilshere said: “There are still big players missing – the likes of (Wayne) Rooney, Steven Gerrard, who plays centre-mid,”
“I’m still 19. I’ve got a lot of work to do.”
“I’ve got to come back in the summer and have a good pre-season and see if I can get back in the team next year.”
“At the start of the season, there was talk of me going back to Bolton on loan and the manager (Arsene Wenger) said he’d be happy with me if I played 25 games,”
“I played 60 games.
“I’ve surprised myself, really, but hopefully I can do the same next year.
“I’ve still got a lot of work to do. I’m 19. there are good players at Arsenal who want to take my position and there are even better players with England who want to take my position.
“So I’ve got to work hard and try to keep myself in every team that I play in.”
It is great to see such humility in a young and talented player like Wilshere. If only some other Arsenal players felt like fighting for their place, like Fabregas and Arshavin maybe?

Wilshere is a very talented player, but the most likeable thing about him is that his feet are always firm on the ground; he is not growing a big ego because of the fantastic season he has had. He has a very bright and promising future ahead of him for both Arsenal and England.

Yes i agree, Im excited about frimpong as well, because at the beginning of the season, they were supposedly on level terms! apparently hes like a terrior, just goes round tackling everyone, Somethings wrong with arshavin at the moment, but im sure his class will come back if he works hard enough.

What? He’s saying that the current overaged overrated crop of england midfielders are better than Fabregas, Nasri, Song and even himself? Lol. Scott Parker is the only one of them that I would like to see at Arsenal.

Wenger is the every day cause of failure to the Gunners team.
Why don’t he go for the BIG names?

This boy not only has talented feet but a talented brain as well. There’s not a single Arsenal fan who doesn’t agree that the first 2 names on the team sheet are Wilshere and RVP. He’s a humble kid, not like some silly morons who think they are the best in the world after shining for only one season, only to armtwist the club to pay them ‘road-contractor wages’

Wilshere is the reason why players are leaving. He exposes their tardiness … Fabregas has been embarrassing in comparison with Wilshere. Nasri would be after Ramsey for the spot left vacant by Fabregas. Nasri is not as good as Ramsey or Wilshere in the centre, he will have to remain a Winger.
