Wilshere setback to force Wenger into transfer market

January 27, 2012

Everyone was looking forward to seeing Jack Wilshere return to the Arsenal squad next month as he had started fitness training a couple of weeks ago, but it has been revealed today that he has had another setback and he will be back on the treatment table for at LEAST another three weeks.

With just four days left til the end of the transfer window, Arsene Wenger will be sweating that tests don’t show that Wilshere will be out for even longer. Just looked at what happened to Vermaelen last season…

And Wenger recently admitted that he (panic-)brought in Benayoun from Chelsea because of Wilshere’s previous injury when talking about a ban on loaning players over 21. He said: “But we were on the last day of the transfer window. We knew that Jack Wilshere would need surgery.

“So we were short in midfield at that point and to find two players so late was nearly impossible­ for us without using a loan.

“At that time, the most important thing was just to sign him.”

Much as he may not like it, I am fully expecting Wenger to now bring in two or three players in the last days of the transfer window, but who can he arrange at such short notice? Look out for lots of Arsenal transfer rumours coming in!

    This news just shows that our squad is not strong enough and also more panic buying will be undertaken. Wilshire played to many games for arsenal last year. Arsenal policy of selling word class players and replacing them with average players will only result in the decline of the club.
    We will lose champion league , premiership and sponsorship money together with gate receipts.

    So without wilshere suffering a set back,wenger does not know that his creativity lacks depth.someone like hazard+ arterta+ wilshere+ song will make the perfect MF,Sagna+mertersaker/koscienly +vermaleen+ vertonghen will make a very solid defence;With henry +RVP up front .Impact subs-walcott/gervinho/santos/park

    Dream on – Wenger will not be buying anyone. He keeps playing Arsh / DJ and out of form Walcott and Ramsey. So he obviously can’t see a problem. This is going to be a dismal season finishing with RVP leaving, how much more of these crap can we take.

    If he puts out an understrength side against Villa then it is time for him to go and take Kronke with him.

    xpect nothing much from arsenal coz wenger will never upgrade the squad with quality players, winning trophy this year is probability which i think is 0.

    I as arsenal fans, i believe perfectly that based on situation going on in arsenal club that posed a lot of frustruation to arsenal fans, one thing is certain, either wenger or board members will leave arsenal very soon by force or shame. We shall see.

    I hope our fans can now see the effect of overplaying a young player even when he is willing. Yet you booed Wenger when he learnt his lesson and withdraw Ox form a suspicious calf against ManU.

    There is just no pleasing Arsenal fans. Quite possibly the worst fans in the World.

      there’s nothing wrong with playing for 90 minutes? the problem arises when you play him for 90 minutes week in week out! stop being such and idiot, you know nothing about football.

    Wenger has lost it and the board members too are not helping matters and the fans are too quiet that Arsenal is going down relegation zone if nothing urgent is done to correct this man.
