Remember wilshire squaring up to petrov during houliers last game. Stan just laughed at him as we bossed the midfield and won.

Wiltshire has left Wet Spam by “mutual agreement”.
Don’t let anyone even consider him for a moment.

I do feel for the lad, he looked a serious player but he's made of glass. He's never going to hungry but still it must be horrible for him.

I've never seen it, he's a tidy enough player but he never looked to have anything to set him apart and physically he was a long way from suitable to play in the premier league.

Another one who was a favourite with a England managers. He only had to hint he was fit and he was in the squad.

Euro 2016 being a perfect example. It shows how entitled he was that two years later he had a good moan on twitter when Southgate didn't pick him for the World Cup.

Hodgson brought him on at half time v Iceland to turn things around. He hardly got a kick and any remaining hype about him was firmly extinguished that day.

Wilshere certainly had ability but never backed it up with consistently performances. Injuries of course played a huge role but don't think his off field antics helped.

I never had any faith in Nyland, ever.  Feels completely different with Martinez in goal. Good luck though.

Under Steve Round, we were very interested in Jack Wilshere had we stayed up.  Him an Fellaini apparently.

Blimey that's a scary parallel universe.

I can almost ( if I squint a bit ) see him going to Newcastle.

Fulham, I reckon. Presumably he can sign for anyone when he likes as he is a free agent? Although they would have to have a spare squad space for him. Same with Nyland.

I think that as they left during the window Wilshere and Nyland can sign for anyone at any time as they are now free agents, like when we signed Pires.

Wilshere saying he's fit and could have been playing, but West Ham just haven't been picking him.  Good player when he feels like it.

There was a funny quote from Richards talking about wiltshire on the BBC site where he said there was times under Dean where he was fit to play, but not fit to the level Dean wanted.

No micah I think he was just letting you down gently...

Was watching stuff on youtube and 'up next' was Sky Sports live. Very funny watching them try and make 3 transfers sound exciting "it's hotting up, it's all happening now". No it isn't, there's been a loan, a free transfer and Leeds have signed someone nobody has ever heard of. Sky wankers.
