I cannot stress how impressed I am with Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere. Two beautifully taken goals today and a man of the match in both of his Emirates Cup games, he certainly looks the real deal. Wenger has created superstars before and it’s about time he did it with an English player.

Wilshere looks to have the touch and intelligence of Bergkamp with the pace and skill of Henry, a mouthwatering combination for Arsenal and England supporters alike. Currently a winger I see him moving up front when he gets a big stronger.

I don’t imagine he’ll make South Africa 2010 (Although with a good season and a few injuries…) but Capello was there and the 17 year old was the only English player on show. Wenger typically is urging patience with the player and unfortunately we may not see much of him this season bar his Carling Cup performances. I however say throw him in the deep end and see if he floats, I’m sure he would relish the oppurtunity. One to watch and I see great things ahead for this young player.

On another note it was great to see both Eduardo and Rosicky playing and looking sharp, and Arsenal as a unit looked very dangerous. With an injury free season and some sort of miracle in defense I wouldn’t write them out of the title race.
