Pearce Sees The Light As Jack Stays Home
England under 21s manager, Stuart Pearce has finally taken the sensible step of ruling Jack Wilshere out of the up coming International tournament.
Pearce had previously risked the wrath of Wenger after saying he was taking Jack and that was that. However after some well placed comments regarding Jack and Liverpool`s Andy Carrol, Pearce has opted to leave the pair at home.
'Andy Carroll and Jack Wilshere will not be part of the Under 21 squad which travels to Denmark. Andy has been ruled out through injury,' said on the FA`s website
'I spoke to Jack last week and he explained that while he told me in March that he wanted to be part of the squad, he now feels he is not in the best condition to take part in the finals.'
'I spoke to Jack last week and he explained that while he told me in March that he wanted to be part of the squad, he now feels he is not in the best condition to take part in the finals.'
'That is based on the number of games he has played for Arsenal this season, sports science data which Jack was presented with last week and concerns he has for his fitness looking ahead to next season.
'Jack has always expressed his enjoyment at being involved with the U21 squad, and while I am disappointed not to have him with us for the finals I've accepted the situation. I am very conscious of the importance of looking after all our players, and that is why I have frequent conversations with club managers throughout the season.
Wenger had also commented that Wilshere would miss pre-season and the start of the new season claiming the young Englishman would need a lengthy rest after a gruelling campaign in which he took part in more than 50 games followed with the Under 21s tournament.
However now we should have a rested and refreshed Jack Wilshere ready for the new season.

The best news I've heard since Birmingham got relegated.

Good work Arsenal, Pearce is too much of a clump to realise we actually sent Arshavins data to him :)
nikolaijns
Great news. Wilshere would certainly benefit from a proper pre season
to take his game up another notch for the new season. If he adds goals
to his game he would develop into a near complete midfielder.

I have spent the afternoon listening to commentary on this matter and I have to say Wenger is coming in for a huge deluge of criticism. And, in my view, with every justification. Two points are important here. Firstly Wilshire was presented with a compendium of statistics which 'showed' him he was tired. Well no ***** sherlock! Wilshire has been utterly rinsed by Wenger this season, exploited would be a good word for it. Why? Because of Wenger's incompetence. He couldn't get his act together and sort his squad out and so Wilshire has been forced to play over and over again. In fact, he has spent more time on the pitch than any other Arsenal player! *****ed over by Wenger. Now he's been tricked by the old man into missing out on one of the most important moments of his career! Seriously, you couldn't make it up. And, when he starts to break down Wenger will start trying to blame the tackling of other teams. The truth, as everybody knows, is that Wenger is using this lad as a human shield to protect his arse and his 6 million a year job. I hope Fabregas gets the move he years for and escapes this professional bully. I wish him well. I actually feel sad for Wilshire.

When professors come to do dissetations on the subject of 'laughable posts on the Internet' That one above by the troll will get a chapter all of it's own.
nikolaijns
Laugh out loud stupidity from the troll. As usual.
Deltaforce
A good pre-season? What you mean dragging Wilshire's arse around China as a publicity stunt, so Arsenal plc can try to cash in the popularity of the premier league, so they can set up sweat shops in Beijing, selling millions of pounds worth of rubbish to peasants? I wonder if Wenger will have a clipboard of stats showing how 'tired' he is then, when the money men come calling, demanding their pound of Wilshire's flesh? I doubt it. This is all stems back to Wenger and his failings, which somebody for some reason wants to cover up. Shameful.
Tony Rocky Horror
Wenger has always been opposed to world globetrotting whoring but don't let the truth or anything close get in the way of your dribbling rancour against the bloke.
nikolaijns
"one of the most important moments of his career" - HAHAHAHA! Do you know anything about football?
Rocky7
He's a spuddy Rocky, so clearly not!

On side note..there has been rumours about players leaving Arsenal. Does it mean that all the Bench IX are leaving ? Players like . 1.Almunia. 2. Eboue. 3.Gibbs (On loan). 4. Denilson 5. Squillaci. 6.Djourou. 7. Arshavin. 8. Diaby. 9.Bendtner 10. Rosicky 11. Vela.....All these are are sh..t IX. Who among these players stays?
Arseniger
I'm relieved the players aren't too down that would be terrible, it's bad enough having the fans moping about. Good to see them publically larking about reminiscing about the size of each others cocks. Wilshere hung like a rhino apparantly, thats enough to get you over a self combusting f*[kstorm that we in January fondly remembered as a season. http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/oddballs/864103-jack-wilshere-issues-super-injunction-twitter-threat-to-cesc-fabregas
nikolaijns
For me only Djourou and Eboue deserve some sympathy in terms of wages/productivity. Eboue brings other things to the table. And we will be losing 5 homegrown players.
Arseniger
I'd hold onto Gibbs (far from ready for regular berth but promising, fitness allowing) Djourou and give Diaby and Arshavin a last season apiece. Wouldn't lose a seconds sleep over the rest just don't look to make a profit as in the main the cheap purchasing cost has more than paid for them.
nikolaijns
Pearce is copping out, by blaming Wilshere for this decision. Does that mean Pearce does not look at player stats to make his decision on which players to take? Incompetence.
prits
Heh, have to laugh at the troll. Criticised for not playing English players, now criticised for playing them too much. One can only imagine how this was relayed to Pearce. "Jack tired. Jack play more, Jack get owy." "Eh?" "Jack might get booboo, not play anymore."
Little Dutch
Very funny, LD. Really :-)
Naijagunner
The worst damage to come out of this is to Capello. He said the reason England did so badly at the world cup was tiredness; the response? Send his new centre mid to play in a junior cup the summer before the Euros. Capello should have put his foot down and told Pearce Wilshere isn't going. It's hard to blame Pearce for wanting to boost his own CV, but he shouldn't have been allowed to make the desicion.
deaduncleted
though I understand the priority for Arsenal to want to keep Wilshere at home instead of going with the U-21s, if wenger was so worried about his physical state, why didnt he rest him more during the season instead of flogging him all season, when the GPS figures were apparently telling him that he was an injury risk.
Lionhart
Because he would've had to play Denilson.
shewore
What I find hilarious is all this media coverage of a tournament England puts little effort into by failing to produce players who can actually win it and assigning a crap manager who can't ever make a success of any tournament. Pearce is a joke of a manager. What idiots like the Ugly Arsenal-Obsessed Troll ignore is that Arsenal went thru all this with Theo Walcott - he went to the U21s, got injured, came back unable to play, had a horrible season with injury & poor when he could play and then failed to get into the world cup. If the Ugly Arsenal-Obsessed Troll is so concerned about England's performance in major tournaments, he should be concerned about Jack's fitness for Euro 2012 and not some youth tournament no one cares about.
jaelle
Exactly shewore. He ran the lad into the ground because he had little, if any, faith in the back-up. Shame really no-one had the balls to tap him on the shoulder and remind him that HE is the one responsible for player recruitment and it therefore follows axiomatically that if a player is too ***** to play that is HIS fault. The more shocking aspect of all this is that Wenger spent a week compiling a dossier of stats to rob Wilshire of an opportunity to play for his country whilst he should have been preparing his team for a crucial match. Arsenal have now finished fourth in a two horse race but that's by the by.
The plain, hard and unpallatable fact for some is that Wilshire wanted to go but has been blocked from doing so by his manager who used him continuously, far beyond his capacities. I'm afraid it's another example of a foreign manager showing a lack of respect for England. It is not a Frenchman's place to dictate to an Englishmen when he can play for his country. What a total outrage.
Tony Rocky Horror
Sigh. Honestly TRH, just ***** off. Utter waste of oxygen, you've done quite enough to destroy this forum. Does us all a favour and go for a lonely walk in the woods with a Smith and Wesson.
Little Dutch
TRH - Arsenal pay his wages, so if we want to play him till he's shattered, that's our call as a club. He's not been robbed of anything - it's a micky mouse International - Paul Gerrard has the record for most clean sheets at U21 level, tells you all you need to know about the quality.
deaduncleted
I think it's fair to say that just as our club is hopefully looking to shift on some useless deadweight bulk maybe we should follow suit? I'm all up for freedom of expression and letting everyone have a say but we've seen and heard everything that numpty no lifes like TRH and Jack stain and P.avfc have to say and I think we're all collectively sick of their flatulent f*'kwittery, so how about it mods. Let a new broom sweep clean, let's have a Vital Arsenal summer clean out of all these trolls stinking out our site. Show of hands to say aye?
nikolaijns
Aye. I'll be Homer, "TRH, you're cut, P.Avfc, you're cut. Jackstan- I don't doubt you could probably do with the practise with the English language. That's why it was so hard to cut you......"
Little Dutch
I have one aye from my esteemed colleague, that's good enough for me. Let the banhammer swing! and let it crush some fetid troll skull! Vital mods do your job, vital moddies do your job.
nikolaijns
After what Arry did to Bale you would think you would keep your gob shut TRH. He was playing Bale at 60%, you could see he was proper f*'ked, a little brush from Chesney and he was writhing in agony like he was back in the animal testing lab.
iceman10
That will be good riddance, indeed. Sick of the trolls; TRH in particular. Summer clean out. Lol!
Naijagunner
So general consensus so far....Amos, Lou, Rocky, Gunnerkid whenever you're ready :) swing low sweet banhammer, coming forth to smack a troll home.
nikolaijns
Everybody knows club comes before country now which is an awful shame , Would be nice for England to win something , Wenger has stated he does not like his players playing for anyone other than Arsenal hahaha , He really is a miserable old git !!
ODDJOB79
LOL, ODDJOB79, idiots like you are truly hilarious! Haters like you just invent stuff out of nothing - Wenger has NEVER EVER EVER EVER said "he does not like his players playing for anyone other than Arsenal" - EVER! You couldn't produce such a quote from him if you researched for decades. Liar.
jaelle
My name oddbod, me want engurland win in compteeshun me would never watch anyways, arsneal bad very bad arsenial uggggghhhhhh brain hurt too long typy wurds urrrrrrrrfffffghhh
nikolaijns
A big Aye to the summer cleaning proposal. Lets get us some trolls
benedict.
Deltaforce
Summer clean out at VA and at Arsenal!! The world would be a much better place indeed.
Eboue=GOD
The world would be a much better place without people who annoy you or who disagree with you? Having that attitude is all well and good until the powers that be decide that you're the one who needs to be silenced. Who would you turn to then? The people who disagree with the government. If there are any of them left.
Tony Rocky Horror
Pillock, you'd still be free to troll anywhere else that's the difference. Only an idiot such as you could equate the ability to air a voice of political dissent in a climate of suppression with lame unfunny pointless internet trolling.
nikolaijns
It's not that you offer a contrary view. I'm all for that. Huddersfield Yiddo manages it quite eloquently and you won't find anyone calling for him to be banned over here. It's the fact that your entire purpose is just to ruin the forum and annoy. You're like a wasp on a pint of orange juice, you serve no other purpose than to annoy and you know it. Don't hold yourself up as some kind of great political contrarian. You're a tw_at with a keyboard.
Little Dutch
And you're a beer-soaked deluded kidult who's *****ing his life up the wall working in a crap job and compensating himself for that fact by dragging himself up and down the country with a group of imbeciles, following a pack of no-mark strangers who wouldn't slash on your teeth if your gums were on fire. But hey, we all have our cross to bear...
Tony Rocky Horror
for the love of Dennis can we please put this sad old lonely fv'k out of his and our misery now? Where the ***** are the mods? Get this tragicvnt outta here!!
