It’s no secret that some of Arsenal’s woes
this season have hinged on the fact that their young talisman has been injured
for much of the season.
In terms of for Arsenal, his lay-off has
been detrimental, leaving them having to acquire lesser talented players in
the likes of Mikel Arteta in the summer to deputise.
Arteta is a solid enough player, but he’s
never going to win you a trophy.
However, looking towards Euro 2012 in the
summer, if Arsenal can actually enable Wilshere to recover with a remainder of
the season left, blooding the young star in the process, England could benefit
in the summer.
A fresh, zesty Wilshere, playing at his
pomp, roaming around the field playing angled passes and drifting past
opponents, could be instrumental in an England team who are all too often
exposed for playing in straight lines.
Wilshere is the kind of player who can
create a unity within the now-popular central midfield trio.
It sounds simple, but a defensive
midfielder; with Michael Carrick further enforcing his position, and Scott
Parker having placed himself in a great position; and an attacking midfielder,
who would still have to be Steven Gerrard when fit, requires a lynchpin, all
rounded player.
Wilshere can ghost past people at a jog,
very similarly to the Barcelona starlets and, like the Catalonia stars, can
prod through delicate passes which can disect a back-line.
Wenger may not have always been the England
team’s biggest hope, but, if he can get Wilshere to a point where he is ready
to train fully and having played games, we may have a huge asset to the team
added, in the best possible circumstances.
It’s been long said that players are too tired
and ‘worn out’ by the summer. One benefit to Wilshere having been missing for
so long is that he could, could, be back to fitness and fresh by the
summer.
