Jaspa Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 Gets along with Vardy doesnt he? Could be a new one to ping balls over the top after Mahrez goes. If its a CM we're after though I'd prefer taking Lewis Cook
cityfanlee23 Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 Quality player really. He gets the ball and drives forward which is something we need in that number 10 role. Gerrimin. 1
cityfanlee23 Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 (edited) Btw, still only 26!! The same age as Mahrez. Madness really and shows just how long he's been in the spotlight. And a free transfer. We should be going all out to. make this happen. 80k a week is fine for a player of his calibre on a free transfer in my opinion. Edited 15 May 2018 by cityfanlee23 2
UPinCarolina Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 I could tolerate this; one wonders if he would expect to be starting weekly though. Could he accept not being “the man” week in, week out?
SheppyFox Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 Hopefully we’d keep him fit would like to see this happen.

He's already on £100k and Arsenal are offering a pay cut contract. If Wilshere comes he will earn more than Vardy. He will be our highest earner at the club. Not sure it's worth it with his injury record. 1
m4DD0gg Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 (edited) Even if he does leave Arsenal there is not a cat in hells chance he will join us. Plus the first time he falls off the nose bag wagon we wont see him for 6 months because he will be 'injured'. Edited 15 May 2018 by m4DD0gg

Foxhateram Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 Radiculously overrated and always on the physio table. We don't need more cm's who are going to spend half the season out!!! Never liked him. Didn't exactly set the world alight on loan.
breadandcheese Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 He's a good player. I'd be happy if we signed him but it is a huge risk with his injury record.
Robin JD Popley Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 On his day, easily one of the best creative midfielders in this league. Would be very pleased to see him join us. 1
FOXYTALK Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 Pay him on 100k a week only on a pay as you play deal.
foxfanazer Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 Based on the fact that nobody ever spells his name correctly it’s a no from me In all seriousness if we could keep him fit it’s a no brainer
StriderHiryu Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 Hugely overrated player in my opinion and constantly injured or having off field problems. His loan season at Bournemouth was a flop. On a free transfer he’s good value but I personally think if this guy wasn’t English there would be a lot less hype around him. Danny Drinkwater has won the league more times than Jack. 2
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 A few years ago when we seemed to always have a sports science team you could rely on then then maybe. I wouldn't fancy us to keep him fit now.

Alf Bentley Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 I could see Wilshere being a good fit for us if we were playing 3 central midfielders some of the time. A midfield trio of Ndidi, Silva & Wilshere behind Vardy and Iheanacho could be quite tasty. If we're likely to mainly play a trad 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1, I couldn't see it working so well. With that formation, we'd surely need a No.10 or 2nd striker instead (plus about 3 defenders).
roblcfc84 Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 He’s played really well for Arsenal this season. Has ability and reads the game well, would be extremely surprised if he came to Leicester. Obviously question marks over his fitness but when he is fit, can be a really effective playmaker.
RumbleFox Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 (edited) On ability it really is a no brainer and anyone claiming he is not good enough I would seriously have to question. Of course the worries about fitness are reasonable and if people did not want to sign him based on that I would find it hard to argue with. If he is willing to come here I would happily welcome him as he is a very good footballer and I feel the "risk" is worth it as there would be no transfer fee. I honestly think with him, Pereira, Roberts, Evans we are heading in the right direction. All great young(ish) footballers. X Edited 15 May 2018 by RumbleFox 2
Bazly Posted 15 May 2018 Posted 15 May 2018 It'd just be one additional wheelchair beside the pitch. When he did the loan spell at Burnley he was injured most of the time. Be big wages to watch a player sit down.
