    I thought arteta wasnt being offered a new contract but moved into the coaching team, so he is on the way out, while if rosicky is offered a new contract it'll only be for a year

    Offering Rosicky a contract at this point would be the dumbest decision ever.

    Can't imagine rosicky will be kept on beyond his current contract, neither will Arteta. But Wilshere will be persevered with for a while longer I'd imagine. He is talented and still young enough to overcome his problems and be a success, he's been with us since he was a kid, counts as a home grown player and im sure as he is English his image is worth a bit to us and he has shown his quality for the team when he has managed to stay fit so I think the club will stick by him for a while still.

    Provided we don't expect him to be fit all the time I don't have a problem with him adding depth to the squad.

    I do however think this will mean we definitely add another midfield option in January even if it's only as cover.

    Why do you still employ old glass knees Wilshere?

    Mmmmm I wonder how many more players will have their returned dates pushed forward. Either the medical team is incompetent or they are using disinformation, it's probably a bit of both. So that makes Welbeck and Wilshere who have had their returned dates delayed. Rosicky and Arteta look like distant memories. Seriously, we need to get reinforcements now than wait for these dudes to be resurrected from the dead.

    Surprising they didn't release this information one hour after transfer window closes after we make no signings??

    We're about to sign an Egyptian, so they don't mind telling the truth now, instead lying and hiding the truth in the summer.

    Looks like Elneny is coming in. Arteta, Rosicky and Flamini will be off this summer, so we definitely need midfield reinforcements. Wilshere is worth persevering with in my opinion, because he is an exceptional talent.

    Exceptional? *reallllly*

    There's no room for someone with glass knees in any team that has title aspirations. Get rid and be done with it. English premium, English hype.

    If you've ever watched Wilshere play when he's fit and on form then you will see that he is an exceptional talent. Whether he can get past his injury problems is another matter, but the lad has the skill to be one of the very best.

    What's the point in having a player that is exceptional for 2-3 games of the year though? You can't build a team around that. Oh well, off to hopefully watch us not get tonked by Southampton.

    Well, the point is that he needs to get over his injuries. The point I was making is that it's worth persevering with Wilshere for a while longer yet, because if he does then he's a top quality talent.
