Nothing to link this with, but merely my own thought that this thread is inevitable. We have a 30 page thread on Bale but for me that's just the wrong target even if it would be exciting.
Our squads pretty strong now, with Zaha coming in with have a nice balance of strength in experience and potential in nearly every area. Except for that great big obvious one, central midfield. Wilshere's young, English, as talented as any young midfielder around with the added bonus of having the grit necessary for the premier league. Also looks at home on the biggest stage against the world best players with minimal real expereince.
Have been a fan of his for while but it was sensible to wait to see how he'd return after ~15 months out. He seems fine in that regard and is continue to fulfil his potential. He tossed some jibes at RvP about loyalty last summer which could be an issue, but the after the Bayern game you could maybe see he received a dose of reality and cynicism. If Arsenal do get spanked again and end up 5th, we'll have to see.
Arsenal would be loathe to sell to us, no doubt. But what i'm actually suggesting is bulldoze the deal, beat our own record. We don't need to spend any money elsewhere in the squad (well except maybe a 2nd mid), we spent £50mill 2 years ago, ~£40mill last year. Use the vast majority of it to buy him if needs be. Yes it would be a lot of money, but better spent than on a 5th winger. For me the deal makes a lot of sense.
