Rovers13 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 England would be daft not to build their midfield around Barkley. He's miles ahead of Wilshere imo, and that is despite being younger and missing a season through injury. Wilshere missed more than that through injury.

PaulC Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Wilshere and Barkley are different types of players anyway. There's no reason why they both can't be part of the England side for ta long time to come. Its good that there are some good English players coming through after a period where there hasn't been too much. Comparisons with Gazza are a little premature i think.

The_Rev Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Neither of those players will be as good as Gazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Yes very difficult to be as good as Gazza. Best English player since Bobby Charlton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Rooney is the closest we have come and he has never hit the heights he should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire does not play the same role as Barkley so they could work very well together. Wiltshire gets more stick than he deserves because of the amount of hype that greeted his arrival. He is a better player than many on here will give credit to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some common ones that I've seen on here and elsewhere: "Wiltshere" instead of Wilshere (Jack Wilshere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I was picked up on the spelling of Wlishere before. I have been careful to spell his name right since..... Anyway are Arsenal going to top their group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
