West Ham United fans are growing sick of hearing from Jack Wilshere but with another podcast came another host of claims this week.
Prem boss kills West Ham insider’s claim with crushing blow to reported January plan
It seems Wilshere has made more appearances on football podcasts since being released by West Ham than he did on the pitch in the two years he was there.
It was both a shame and highly inevitable Wilshere’s move to his supposed boyhood club West Ham did not work out.
Wilshere at it again
Dogged by injuries for years before being released by Arsenal in his mid-20s, why West Ham thought they could change anything is beyond comprehension.
But they took a risk which ultimately cost them over £10 million in wages.
Wilshere has been critical of West Ham since departing on deadline day, October 5th.
As a free agent Wilshere then had over two weeks to secure a new club before squads were registered with the league.
But he remained without a club and seems to have spent most of his time since publicising his availability, fitness regime and having a pop at West Ham.
‘No room for technical players like me at West Ham’
Another week and another podcast for Wilshere saw the former England midfielder take another pot shot at the Hammers.
He was speaking on the ITV Football Show podcast.
And Wilshere made a new claim that would not only be a worry for two current players, but also completely contradict the club’s latest big money arrival in the process.
Wilshere told ITV Football Show that there is no room for a technical player like him under David Moyes at West Ham.
“I just felt we were going into big games after lockdown where we were defending most of the time, and he wanted to play Dec (Rice) and (Tomas) Soucek in midfield and they were brilliant, so I couldn’t argue with that,” Wilshere said on the ITV Football Show.
“But I felt that there wasn’t really a place for a technical player who wanted to get on the ball and make things happen.
“It was more about getting onto second balls and intercepting play.”
Bad news for Lanzini and Benrahma if Wilshere’s latest whine has any substance
If true (it isn’t) then that would surely worry Manuel Lanzini and new boy Said Benrahma too?
Both in the mould Wilshere describes, one would have to wonder why Moyes would then commit over £25m to sign Benrahma if there was no room for players of his ilk at West Ham.
The truth is Wilshere simply was not good enough.
On the very rare occasion he was fit Wilshere failed to shine for West Ham.
Not wanted by Arsenal, not wanted by Bournemouth – who were offered the chance to take him after a spell on loan – and not wanted by his boyhood club West Ham.
Now seemingly not wanted by Premier League clubs, even on a free transfer.
Wilshere is the common denominator here. Perhaps he needs to start looking at himself before throwing stones and criticising a club that paid him millions for very little in return.
Of course no player wants to be injured. And hopefully Wilshere can resurrect his career.
But he is showing West Ham a lack of respect and looking to blame everyone but himself, painting Moyes as some sort of football dinosaur in the process.
Turn it in Jack, we’ve heard enough.
