7 games into this young season and the another international break has come. So i took this time to reflect on the one bright spot of the gunners season so far. That being, the ever involved Jack Wilshere. For a mere 18 year old he has the gile of a veteren in the middle of midfield. Arsenal's fourth place standing right now is far from what I would like to see, but I have to ask myself where would we be without Wilshere. Because of the injury crisis that is ever present at Arsenal, Jack has been pushed into the big stage and has handled it with more than anyone could have expected. Although it is not exactly a blinding start on paper ( he only has one assist in 5 Premier league starts), it is easy to look out and see how he has handled himself and the ball in the middle of the park for us. It is so easy to forget that this chap is only 18 and his progress as a football is just beginning at the top level. He is everything Arsenal needs in one package. He is a workhorse in the middle and pressures the ball at every opportunity. Along with his attacking prowess and the his passing ability he is a joy to watch. If Wenger can stick around for a few more years, I believe young Jack will lead this team to the promise land. Trophies, trophies and more trophies!
