Media balls: Wilshere’s Arsenal future as clear as mud

by | 27th, November 2016

How’s Jack Wilshere getting along at Arsenal? He’s playing for AFC Bournemouth but he’ll be back the Gunners soon enough. The Evening Standard confirms the news: “Arsene Wenger confirms Jack Wilshere will be offered new Arsenal contract.”

Good for Jack. And good for Arsenal.

But in September the Metro told us: “Mesut Ozil set to sign bumper new Arsenal deal that will see him inherit Jack Wilshere’s No.10 shirt.”

Ozil hasn’t signed any new deal. He wears the Number 11 shirt.

 

The Metro added that Wilshere “sees his long-term future away from the club”.

He doesn’t.

On October 22, the Mail reported on one of its own columnists: “Jack Wilshere’s future is away from Arsenal after Bournemouth loan, says Jamie Redknapp… Jack Wilshere’s career at Arsenal is over.”

No. It isn’t.

Such are the facts.
