Let's examine the lazy Jack Wilshere to #SWFC rumour. 28yo CM who has only played 448 minutes since Aug 2019. When he has played, hasn't been bad as such with decent duel ratings and ball retention. His playing style is more continental with dribbles/passes preference (1/4)

In terms of Wilshere concerns, primarily his wages and injuries. Medical history is frightening and well known - 3 serious injuries in 3 seasons (2 of those being a recurring ankle problem). In terms of wages, he's estimated to have been on £100k per week at West Ham. (2/4) #SWFC

Another issue is that Jack Wilshere is not suited to the style of direct, long and attritional football played by Pulis or West Ham for that matter. In addition, JW is quoted as saying as much himself. Very much the wrong sort of transfer target #SWFC require. (3/4)

Assessment
Current ability: Wilshere barely played for W.Ham but in theory has ability for #SWFC.
Potential: Wilshere is unlikely to improve given age & medical history.
Transfer viability: Wilshere is very unlikely to play for a club in a relegation battle with longball. (4/4)
