Wilshere: Wenger told me to take Bergkamp’s No.10 shirt

Jack Wilshere has revealed that Arsene Wenger personally suggested he take Arsenal’s number 10 shirt in the aftermath of Robin van Persie’s departure last year.

The midfielder, who was still sidelined by injury at the time, admits the opportunity came as a huge personal boost during the final stages of his rehabilitation with Dennis Bergkamp, who’d worn the shirt between 1995-2006, his personal hero.

Speaking to Zapsportz, the England international detailed:

“I think I’d been out for more than 14 months then and the boss came to me and said ‘I want you to have the number 10 shirt, I still believe in you’.

“That was a huge boost for me as my number 10 idol Is Dennis Bergkamp, for me he is the best player of all time. And definitely the best Arsenal player of all time.”

Obviously close to boss Wenger, who has nurtured his career since he broke into the first team as a 16-year-old, Wilshere made clear that for all his loyalty to the Gunners his future (somewhat worryingly) might take a different direction once the Frenchman has moved on.

“I want to win things with Arsenal and I want to be there in the future, but if the boss leaves then things could change.

“Arsenal are always in my heart and by signing a deal for the next five years shows my commitment to them and their commitment to me so at the moment everything is good.

“Arsene Wenger has been there for so many years and he’s always delivered trophies.

“OK we’ve had a little dip in the last five or six years, but he’s a great manager and people who question his ability are ridiculous.

“He’s qualified for the Champions’ League for 16 years so I think he’s the right man for the job.”

Unfortunately in the interim, the shirt was worn by a bunch of dirty cunts. Hopefully Jack cleans it off.

On the other hand, what is up with the rumor that Poldi is going to be loaned out to Schalke????? 1) What will happen when more players are injured? Are you telling me having Poldi on our team is worse than loaning him out? 2) He was purchased just last year. Are you telling me this is another bad purchase? I am so sick of “bargain” purchase strategy that we are trying to employ. Arsene has a degree in economics. How can he ignore the change in supply and demand?

Those of us who live outside the UK have to make do with these funky keyboards that don’t have a key for the “you-know-what-goes-here” sign. It’s hard being out here in “Forrin Land” and trying to write about how much money Arsene should spend when you can’t type the “it’s-a-fucking-pound” sign.

We do get a $ key, but what fucking use is that to an Arsenal fan ?

With all due respect that is a ridiculous parallel to draw. If you want to look at it from an economic perspective. Food is a perishable and the demand for it is price inelastic as it is a good which cost a small amount relative to your income. Spending £20m or so on players is a different thing. Why buy a player who’s price is over-inflated when you can get a player of similar ability for a much sheaper price. Hence why he has a cieling. He wants to get value for what money Arsenal is making. While the bigger… Read more »

Wilshere: city ledgend :'(

The Ox, The Ram, Willy and Wally

I think he’ll be no-ones legend if he doesn’t return to his old form.

Injury and hype have slightly got to him – but I still think he can do it.

Agreed, unfortunately. He simply has yet to approach his 2010-11 level, although that level might be somewhat idealized at this point. I feel like when he plays in one of the holding roles, as he did a couple years ago, our midfield is bypassed far too easily when the opponent has the ball. In the attacking role, he’s too predictable, prone to overdribbling, and frankly we’re a much better side with Rocisky there at the moment. But he’s still fighty Jack who plays with his heart on his sleeve, and my favorite player in the current squad. I think he’ll… Read more »

Gutbukkit Deffrolla

Get Flamini behind him (or even Arteta on a more regular basis) and I think Wilshire will get back to his old self. It must be hard getting back into top form when the team is so unsettled. It’s not only our own injuries that can put you off your game, and a run with a stable team, or with quality replacements (Hopefully Flamini for the injured Arteta is one) can make a lot of difference when you are trying to regain some form.

Midfield Corporal

I look at Cesc at 21 and think he was a much more complete player than Jack is at the moment. Perhaps it goes to show the benefit of having played with Vieira, Gilberto, Pires, Henry , Bergkamp and RVP. Poor Jack came into the side last season after a long injury and had the weight of a struggling team on his shoulders, which meant he’s tried to do too much. Hopefully if we can surround him with some better players he’ll reach his full potential and lead us to a string of trophies.

Arsecrew

Jack needs to calm down when he plays. Its always hurry hurry and he always takes one or two touches with his eyes focused on the ball before releasing it. Big players have vision and knows their surrounding. Jack has been compared to Xavi and to become as good as him he needs to develope a first touch game. It would also be good if he found some composure in front of goal. He is not complete and still a kid, wich his comments shows (a bit stupid to hint that he will leave if Wenger goes, but hey do… Read more »

If jack has an ordinary game then he’s a 6.5/10. Which is excellent so lay off him. He’ll be the player we want him to be if we show a bit of patience and even he doesn’t reach those heights so what? I’m happy with him playing the way he is. He’s still starting in our midfield and he’s obviously going to improve with games. The only thing that is holding him back is that he seems to stay down for a long time after he goes down. As long as his body can cope with the pressure he’ll be… Read more »

Gutbukkit Deffrolla

Arsecrew, Wilshire is trying to convince the fans to lay off Wenger. If the team trusts Wenger and we sack him, as half the fans are now screaming for, then what does that do to the team? It could fuck us up for the entire season, that’s what it could do. Not to mention that players have frequently said that they came here because of Wenger. Is it so hard to think that if he went so might a few of our players?

Stop fucking hating on the team is what I get from Wilshire’s comments.

However you may feel about Wenger as a fan, for a lot of the players Wenger is Arsenal and Arsenal is Wenger. If they bring in some chimp like Brendan Rogers after Wenger leaves then you can expect a lot of players to leave as well.

Bring in a Klopp or Guardiola and they’ll stay.

Rather have Buck Rogers instead of Brendan

Midfield Corporal

You’ve just reminded me of my first schoolboy crush, Wilma Deering from Buck rodgers, coupled with thought of Bergkamp, I think I need to lie down.

Big Chief from Antarctica

Not too surprising he mentions Wenger alongside his future. The confidence shown by Wenger in his past is one of the hallmarks of the manager. No manager would have given, for example, RVP so many chances. He kept believing in him. Betrayed and still keeps believing in his players. Ramsey as the prime example now.

Wenger shouldn’t be taken for granted.

goonerbynature

Yeah. I think the comment was blown out of proportion slightly, he’s clearly speaking in the context of the present, where some are calling for Wenger to be sacked and he feels he would reconsider his own future in the club if such a drastic and unnecessary step were to be taken. He also speaks about his “commitment to them [Arsenal]” and it’s clear from what he says that the conversation and questions were about Wenger’s future, rather than Wilshere himself.

no player/manager is bigger than the club. I can only worry about the now and take the future how it comes

Burak

“no player/manager is bigger than the club.” This sounds so charismatic, and I see this written so often, as though it expresses some unquestionable loyalty to the club. Except that the club needs a manager and players, and what you really want is for the individuals filling those roles to meet your expectations for the club, which is why… “I can only worry about the now and take the future how it comes” …this part bugs me. If you really care that much about the club, then you’ll think about its present and future (which will one day inevitably becomes… Read more »

I just wish wenger would stop treating the first team like an academy. Obviously, these guyz see him as a father figure and there’s nothing wrong with that except of coz when it comes to taking decisive action against them.
I’m not talking about wilshere here, I’m talking about all the other “managed” players that saw wenger that way and so were given a bit too many chances to impress.

Bould's Eyeliner

And yet when they start to produce it doesn’t bother you? Tired of talking about Ramsey’s Crucifixion and Resurrection but let’s look at injuries fundamentally. – Almost never the player’s fault; How do you blame a player for a cunt like Shawcross? In that case, I believe that giving a good player the chance to recover from an injury is pretty much common sense and decency. – A good player can still be a good player; Wenger makes a rational choice for continuing to have faith in young players – an injury at 20 really is a recoverable thing, and… Read more »

What trophies are these? I love you Jack, but you and I have differing views on the phrase ‘always delivered trophies’.

The Emirates Cup a couple of times, the 4th Place Trophy three times and don’t forget the coveted Pointless Trophy which we successfully bid for on eBay.

out of curiosity, would you be pleased if we had won the Carling Cup a few times in the last eight years, with our League & Champions league positions being the same? I don’t get it – Arsenal were a competitive team, always in with a shout for the title (save for the last 2-3 years) in an incredibly competitive league. The fact that no one has outright dominated the league for the last “8 trophy-less” seasons should tell you that. I do admit that things changed dramatically after the summer Cesc left, but what could you do – he… Read more »

I would have loved three or four wins in the last seven years because it would have added “Feel like a winner” to the team’s skillset. I agree on what you say about Cesc. He would have been leading this team this season had he stayed, and we wouldn’t have needed boasts about potentially buying top stars because even the anti-Wengerites could surely see that Fabregas was a top star. The plan was a good one, and the only thing that really let it down was that Fabregas had that gnawing need to return to his roots. Jack could have… Read more »

Although Jack may turn out to be a very good player as glimpses between injury suggests the No. 10 Dennis thing should not be a millstone around his neck as no one could compare to Mr Bergkamp the legend.

One of the things people like about Arsenal is that Wenger really believes in his players. It might be his greatest weakness as well, but think back to Gibbs messing up in the CL tie with ManU a few years ago. That might have been the end of him at another club, but Wenger stuck with him, and now look at him.

I think people should think how much of a change it is going to be if Arsene was to leave. People only value trophies but stability at a football club is the ultimate goal, especially for fans. Just look back and see clubs like Leeds, Liverpool, Rangers, Nottingham forest, Blackburn etc. What do you think their past trophies are worth now?? Arsene is ultimately as equally responsible for the past few years’ failure to win trophies as he is for the past success of the club.

Jack is a bit overrated. Nowhere near the quality of cesc fabregas and he’s not young anymore in football terms. I hope he becomes an arsenal legend but probably more a ray parlour status than a berkamp or Henry…

I think arseblog is letting their pessimism get the best of them. The article doesn’t imply that ONCE Wenger leaves he might reconsider his future but rather IF he was to leave i.e. acrimoniously or if he was pushed out as some fans have started suggesting we do, then he might have to reconsider his future. But I find it hard to imagine that if Wenger were to retire at Arsenal that Jack would consider leaving.

Most fascinating comments section I’ve seen in a while. Every little thing people can jump on now it seems. We have been, are and will be one of the top clubs in Europe for the foreseeable. We’re in the elite, ffs. There are hundreds of thousands of clubs in the world, we’re in the top 20. Spoilt by the early years, but we’ve got a lot to look forward to.

Well, we won nothing until 1929, so I wouldn’t call us spoilt by the early years. We do seem to have a lot of fans who expect to be paid for their support in trophies.

Jack makes a great 10. I think he is best played a little forward and behind the main striker giving us the extra offensive body in the box or where he can run at defenders carrying the ball into the box. Ramsey is more similar to Arteta. Neither can get by their men but both have good vision and are conssumate passers of the ball. he is in many ways auditioning for that role. We can benefit from one other player who can carry the ball deep (thus freeing Jack further forward). This particularly in Diaby’s absence. Preferably someone with… Read more »
