Normally agree with most of your posts football-wise but I just can't see the attraction to Wilshere. Honestly think he's one if the most over-rated players England has produced in the last ten years.

I've seen him play a load of times for Arsenal and very rarely has he had a decisive impact on games. Even less so for England where on the main I think he's been a massive disappointment.
I reckon me and you would be bestest mates i f we knocked about together in real life like marra.
 
Not true no matter how many times you say miles

Why isn't it true?

His performances prove it, what has Wilshere done to make you think he is better than Henderson? he simply isn't.

Probably one of the few in the country who think it like
 
Makes perfect sense to me. I compared Henderson to Xavi back in 2011 :cool: Since then he's added a work rate and all action tempo to his game that Xavi can't match though. :p

:eek: FFS hes always had workrate and tempo to his game. THATS always been his No1 asset. He cant cross as well as Beckham or dribble better than Giggs or score as often as Lampard or shoot like Gerrard or pick a pass like Xavi or head it like errrh a midfielder who's good at headers BUT he covers more ground than any of em and always has.
The only way I could see this Barca thing working would be alternating defensive midfield duties with Busquets & Mascherano & Henderson. With central defensive roles shared between Picque & Busquets & Mascherano. Sort of four men in the match day squad that can cover three roles. Possibly a FFP based decision. Suarez will surely of put a word in for him.
I hope it happens for both him and his career and his family.

I don't think there's any doubt Wilshere has more natural talent than Henderson, but Hendo being streets ahead of him now shows the value of hard work and a grounded personality.

One of them wants to be a footballer, the other just wants to live the lifestyle of a footballer.

I would dispute that a lot like

Wilshere is good at tricks and first touch, but Henderson has a better range of passing, a much better shot a better cross, a better engine, he is quicker, stronger

None of that is down to hard work and personality, they are all attributes that he is better at narurally

It depends what you define as "natural talent"

don't agree at all personally

Henderson wants to be in the back pages of the papers whereas Wilshere seems to want to be in the front ones.

When Wilshere first broke onto the scene it looked like he was going to be one of the world's best, he had it all. Great passing, first touch, vision and enough acceleration to get him past players.

I'd argue Henderson has become better at those things you mention through pure hard work. He is a naturally good crosser of the ball, but the rest of his attributes have developed very quickly through playing week in, week out and having a determined and professional attitude.
 
If true I'd be delighted for our local lad who just happens to be a mint footballer..............hope he comes home one day and sees out the twilight of his career with us ! :cool:
 
If the Barca scouts were watching Suarez last season, which they would have been cos they signed him, it's only logical that they would have flagged Henderson as well cos he's been impressive for them.

Chances are they would have been keeping tabs on him this season and, if anything, he's been even better for them. So he's probably one of number of players they're interested in.

TBF I'd be well chuffed for the lad if he ended up there. He should be the poster boy for our academy as the inspiration for what a player with a canny amount of ability and an even better attitude can do for himself.
Chances are it's made up by Henderson's agent during contract talks with Liverpool.

The bits in bold aren't true like. Unfortunately Wilshere's career looks like it'll be ruined by injuries. He is naturally a better footballer than Hendersono but doesn't look like he'll realise it.

Wilshere was just starting to show it again until his last injury. He's made of glass and is always recovering from injury it seems. I honestly think he gets a hard time from most because he's overhyped (which isn't his fault), seems like a proper arsehole (which is his fault) and he's English.
 
I just think he will. He drifts in and out of games, then he'll hit a purple patch which he is doing at the moment.
Don't get me wrong it would be great for the lad and our academy would benefit in the future.

With one touch quality players like Barca all over the field he'd fit in superbly.

You've got mint taste in Internet friends mate... Although haven't you been for a pint with @Freddie the Greek before? Cos he's a bit of a mincemeat TBH.

Don't know why people are having a wankfest over Henderson.
He doesn't play for us anymore - so fuck all to do with SAFC.

He's a local lad playing in the same league as us and doing very well. It's only natural he's gonna generate a bit of debate there mate.
