Wilshere is a great shout. His age (and Bale's) would mean more service then you'd get out of the City boys or Rooney. Wilshere's injuries would concern me though and he's an Arsenal man through and through so not sure whether the performances would be as good for another club (same concern I had re: Gerrard). Therefore I voted Bale. However I think we need a Bale type of player less than some of the other players on the list - so its tough.
I reckon that Jesus would have made a superb creative midfielder. He probably would have played for Barcelona.
