Jack Wilshere has put in some of the most inspired performances over the past few weeks for Arsenal. It’s the drive more than just the flashiness that’s also needed in abundance at the Emirates. He looks like a player who wants to win, one who feels as much hurt as the supporters do when lacklustre and unimaginative attitudes are the best the rest of his team-mates can muster. The captain’s armband for Wilshere at Arsenal is inevitable, but should it be rushed?

It’s symbolic, just as it is to see a player like Carl Jenkinson in the first-team, who is more deserving of a place in the starting XI than his senior counterpart. Two players who live for the Arsenal; two who were brought up with the values of the club and understand its traditions. Wilshere, the finest product any of us have seen from the Arsenal academy since Arsene Wenger took over; Jenkinson, the youngster who grew up on the terraces and who received that rare shot in life to represent his club.

Supporters want that blend of foreign imports who conjure spectacular moments of brilliance on the pitch and the links to something a little closer to home. It’s the brightest light in the tunnel of uncertainty that Wilshere has that right mix of both characteristics. Wilshere is a player of superstar makeup: a product of Ajax, good enough to play for Brazil, able to lock horns with the very best from Barcelona, but undoubtedly a player with Arsenal DNA.

It was slightly moving to see Wilshere relieve Thomas Vermaelen of his captain’s duties, if only for a moment when he took the armband during the win against West Ham. It was a greater feeling of pride than when Cesc Fabregas was named captain. Cesc was as good as anyone to come through the doors at Arsenal, and while he was adored during his time as the talisman of the club, he never really and truly felt like one of Arsenal’s own. That is certainly not the case with Wilshere.

[ad_pod id=’unruly-2′ align=’right’]

The thing about the captaincy at Arsenal is that it’s always been seen to be a device for Wenger to hold onto his best players. Fabregas, Thierry Henry, Robin van Persie. There’s no rush now. There’s no sense of urgency to keep the best young English midfielder in the country tied down to the club well into the future. Following his announcement that his new contract will run until 2018, Wilshere has shown his commitment, and it’s furthermore a great move from the club to have him sign for that length of time.

But you want to see players like Wilshere liberated and able to play his game without the weight the armband can often bring. It’s not always necessary to make such positions in a team official by handing down the captaincy. There are exceptions, and Wilshere may be the case; whereby young players are given greater responsibility and in turn see their performances rise to the next level.

However, there is also a very real possibility we may see similar outcomes to what happened with Fabregas. And I’m not suggesting Wilshere may grow tired and push for a move to Spain, but what happens when the younger players are asked to do too much, with management neglecting the importance of older figures in the squad?

You only need to look at Dortmund as one of the better examples. Players like Mario Gotze, Marco Reus and Mats Hummels are among the leading lights of a majestic generation of German talents. However, they’re all free from that greater level of responsibility and are given license to play the game without the weight of captaincy. Players like Sebastian Kehl and Roman Weidenfeller are indispensable for teams like that, where the larger percentage of the squad is younger talents but where older heads are necessary for guidance on the pitch.

Jack Wilshere needs players like Mikel Arteta, Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski. Fabregas didn’t have that help he needed. It wasn’t for lack of asking either, but for whatever reasons behind the scenes, Arsenal failed to provide necessary and invaluable additions.

Wilshere will become captain at Arsenal, and it should happen when everything is set up for him to inherit the armband. The last thing the club and the player need is a situation whereby the current captain is stripped of his title midway through the season and the pressure of expectation is heaped on the next in line without much notice.

It’s quite clear to tell how moved supporters are by watching Wilshere at the moment, and his performances are made even more significant due to the difficult period the club are in. But it would be far better to keep it this way, let the player have the freedom to play the game. There is no rush for official titles; Wilshere is already the leader of this team.

Thierry Henry has declared that he hopes to return to Arsenal in the future.

The Frenchman enjoyed a successful stint with the Gunners between 1999 and 2007, winning two Premier League titles and three FA Cups.

He left the club to join Barcelona before eventually moving MLS club New York Red Bulls, where he is still playing at the age of 35.

Since being in America, he has re-joined Arsenal on loan in 2012, and was expected to repeat the move earlier this winter.

Despite failing to secure a move back to the Emirates Stadium last month, Henry is still hopeful that he will spend a third spell with the club once his time in New York ends:

“All I know is that I will be involved in the game for sure and hopefully be involved with Arsenal because that is the heart talking there, that’s the team that I support. Forget about me as a player, that’s the team I support.” He is quoted by the Daily Mail.

“In any type or shape, if I can go back to the club I would love to do it, but it’s not up to me. That would be a desire, more a desire than something that can be officialised, I still have two years playing here and then I will see.

“But I would definitely love to be back with Arsenal.”

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has come in for criticism this season, with his side performing below expectations.

Henry is saddened by the treatment his former boss is receiving, and believes that his past glories should be appreciated to a greater extent by the fans:

“When you don’t win people are always going to question your work, your legacy and what you did before. It is sad somehow but that is the way the game is. What are you going to do?”

“For me, it is difficult to hear, difficult to see, but for me the boss will always be Arsene – always great for me and I know what he has done for the club.”

Winger Matthew Etherington could boost Stoke by shaking off a back injury in time for Saturday’s huge home clash against Aston Villa.

Potters assistant boss Dave Kemp confirmed the player pulled up with a back strain in training which resulted in him missing last Saturday’s 1-0 defeat against Everton at Goodison Park.

However, Etherington has improved this week and Kemp is hoping he will be available to make his 350th league start in what is being billed as a relegation six-pointer against third-bottom Villa, who are four points behind the Potters.

Speaking of Etherington’s chances of featuring and his importance to the team, Kemp told the Sentinel: “Matty’s been great for us ever since he signed along with James Beattie in that first season we were in the Premier League.

“Both were very important signings for us. James Beattie has moved on, but Matty’s stayed and become a really important part of our team. We miss him when he’s not playing.

“He was training okay before the Everton game, but then pulled up with a strain.

“It’s related to his back and we have to manage the problem until the end of the season, when he will be able to rest and be 100 per cent recovered.”

There would have been some quarters of the Arsenal support who would have greeted news of Arsene Wenger to PSG not with trepidation, but with the hope of a new dawn for the club. And that doesn’t take anything away from what he’s done in the past or what he may do in the little time he has left with Arsenal. It’s a nod to the idea that maybe the time is right for something different.

You have to ask the question from the other side of the table, too. What if Wenger himself feels that he’s taken this club as far as he can; with the limitations in the transfer market and the consistency at losing his top players each summer, it becomes a frustrating cycle which can be hard to break. Should Arsenal fans begrudge Wenger if he decides PSG is the last realistic chance for glory before he moves away from the dugout for good? If anything, Wenger has earned the right to walk away when he pleases.

[cat_link cat=”arsenal” type=”list”]

What would a move to PSG mean for Wenger and his stance on big-spending clubs in Europe? I don’t think it will matter too much. This is a coach who has long had to hide the complications that exist behind closed doors at Arsenal, and much of that came through the belief that spending recklessly was wrong and Arsenal’s approach was right. It also played into Wenger’s hand nicely, that being his preference for developing talents, while also avoiding the bidding wars that were likely to spring up for the world’s most sought-after players. Going to PSG, however, will allow Wenger the freedom to move in the transfer market, still taking on his well-thought-out approach to new signings, but with far less restrictions.

What’s on the table now is the prospect of a big summer of spending, for both Arsenal and PSG, with Wenger unlikely to be in the Premier League beyond next summer. How does this work out for Arsenal? Maybe it’s best to cut ties now while the opportunity is there. Wenger talks about his commitment to contracts, and yet who could really hold that small detail against him should all parties agree that a change in direction is needed?

It’s not a campaign to push the manager out the door of the Emirates. It is, however, an acknowledgement that there is a world beyond what many Arsenal fans know. This is a topic for discussion that is absolutely certain to arise again next year should Wenger remain at Arsenal beyond this summer, and yet many may be more willing to accept the matter then rather than now. It’s about holding onto the safe and secure option. It’s the uncertainty that arises should Wenger look to accept PSG’s proposal for one last go at a league title. Who knows how far this Arsenal team are from challenging? Who really knows outside of the club whether this truly is a summer of increased and ambitious spending?

But it’s a question of blame and grudges being held. Many fans still believe Wenger to be the right man for Arsenal, one who most trust with overseeing the reshaping of the playing squad before he leaves. It doesn’t keep with Wenger’s principles to move on with the club so precariously placed. To elaborate, and to reiterate: who can really tell what this summer holds for the club?

There will be very little blame attached should Wenger depart this summer. Most of it will come in the form of disappointment and the realisation that not everything was done to give Wenger a proper sending off. For whatever criticisms may be had over Wenger’s management – of which there are many – the real blame lies with the board and their decision to hide behind a man who most believe to be exempt from criticism.

Should Wenger leave, it may just be an admission that he’s had enough with the faults of this club that don’t necessarily lie at his door.

Harry Redknapp has revealed QPR’s Bobby Zamora needs surgery to solve his hip injury but doesn’t think he will have the operation.

Zamora has missed two months of the campaign with the problem and Redknapp admits he didn’t realise the full extent of the injury at first.

Redknapp believes the 32-year-old needs an operation to correct the problem but surgery could rule Zamora out for up to 10 months.

Zamora is out of contract at the end of next season and as an operation would account for almost the entirety of the 2013-14 season, Redknapp doesn’t think it is a viable option.

“I thought Bobby Zamora was fit,” he is quoted as saying on London 24. “If you’ve got frontmen you’ve got a chance.

“He wasn’t fit and he couldn’t play. He starts playing. He’ll be out another 10 months if he has an op.

“I don’t think he will [have it]. It would [rule him out for most of next season].

“It’s going to be difficult I think.”

[cat_link cat=”queens-park-rangers” type=”grid”]

Should you be the owner, Director of Football or manager of a European club that is in need of a star striker, this summer represents the best opportunity for some time to buy one. The availability of Robert Lewandowski, Edinson Cavani, Wanye Rooney and David Villa has been well known and speculated about, but over the last few weeks, Luis Suarez has fought tooth and nail to add his name to the list of illustrious front men of continental standard set to be on the move during the season break.

The Liverpool forward has made the rather abrupt decision to effectively transfer list himself on the grounds of the British Media targeting him and venturing into his personal life, in addition to a lack of support from his club following his eight-match suspension for biting Branislav Ivanovic during an Anfield fixture against Chelsea towards the end of the season.

It begs the question as to what Brendan Rodgers should do next. Should he let his star striker leave and heed to his demands? Or should he stand his ground and maintain the current party line that Suarez is not for sale at any price?

[cat_link cat=”Liverpool” type=”tower”]

What the Liverpool gaffer should not do is apologise – how else was he supposed to react to his talismanic forward biting an opponent in front of an entire stadium, not to mention the millions of viewers from across the world watching the incident live on television, apart from publicly condemn his actions? Anything less would have demonstrated that Rodgers lacked strength of character and any notion of moral compass, whilst also implying that Suarez had become a bigger quantity as an individual than his club.

The 26 year old has claimed the Reds have shown him a lack of loyalty, yet their previous campaign to back the troubled star during his ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra, t-shirts and all,  was one of the factors that cost Kenny Dalglish his job, and the hypocrisy on the Uruguayan’s part is clear to see, as he is now prepared to turn his back on a club that not only stood by him throughout constant controversy, but has furthermore now provided him with the platform to attract interest from Europe’s footballing superpowers.

With that in mind, it seems unlikely that a peaceful resolution to keep Suarez at Anfield will be found by the end of summer. But in many ways, the Uruguay international’s potential departure represents a blessing in disguise. His outrageous form this season, recording 25 goals and 5 assists in 33 Premier League appearances, spelled out that sooner or later Suarez would seek a move away from Merseyside, whilst his outspoken criticism of all things English has at least softened the blow from Rodgers’ perspective that he will not have to endure the pain of watching Suarez ply his trade at another Premier League club.

Similarly, it’s no secret that the Reds could certainly do with the potential £40million that Suarez’s transfer would bring in. A sizable chunk would be dedicated to finding a replacement and maintaining the Anfield tradition of having a talented front-man, but overall, the roster presents a great imbalance between young and old, overachieving and underperforming and potential and ability that needs to be addressed rigorously before Liverpool can seriously consider themselves contenders in the race for Champions League qualification.

The core aspects of the squad are clearly there, with a number of promising starlets such as Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling and Philippe Coutinho breaking through, yet this summer Rodgers will need to make further defensive acquisitions than simply Kolo Toure, with Jamie Carragher retiring as well as Martin Skrtel and Sebastian Coates expected to be moved, whilst none of his collection of young midfielders appear ready to take over the mantle in the middle of the park from Steven Gerrard – the England man is still going strong and has modified his game to suit his age, yet there is no doubt that he is slowly slipping into his twilight years.

The cash injection could well be the boost Liverpool need to return to past glories, or at least speed up the process of moving the club in the right direction, but the counter-argument is obvious the Reds stand a better likelihood of returning to top-tier continental football by keeping hold of their only world-class player. Daniel Sturridge kept up his exceptional form amid Suarez’s absence during the tail-end of the season, but the England youngster does not currently possess the ability to make the Merseyside club an attacking threat in the big matches in the way the Uruguayan can, and there is no doubting Suarez’s talismanic qualities.

The Liverpool forward has not only produced a steady supply of goals to make Rodgers’ first campaign at Anfield a much less painful process than it could have been, whilst the Reds boss leads the squad through a difficult transition period, but he has spent the most part of the season as the team’s only outlet going forward. Every attack went through the 26 year old – he was the first port of call in building up play, in addition to being one of a rare few Liverpool players capable of finishing chances.

Overall, he was directly responsible for nearly half of his club’s 71 domestic goals, and there is certainly some truth in the argument that had Suarez not come with such negative stigmatism, he would have been the favourite for the PFA Player of the year award – especially considering he was performing his miracles at a club that failed to break into the top half of the Premier League for the first four months of their campaign. It is no surprise that monoliths of European football are now running the rue over the Liverpool star.

My opinion is however that now represents the best opportunity to sell. Considering his unbelievable  form, Liverpool would only be able to hold onto their talisman for another year at most, and he has at least graced the Reds with the silver lining that he will not jump ship to another Premier League club. The fact Suarez has made himself available against his club’s wishes will undoubtedly knock a small chunk off any potential fee, and it’s a shame that a player can now dictate his own future based upon questionably superficial motives, but that is the nature of the modern professional footballer.

Reds fans will be bitterly disappointed, however, the compensation in the form of transfer revenues that Suarez’s departure will provide gives Brendan Rodgers the chance to continue his revolution at Anfield and further improve the Liverpool squad, which is still some way short in terms of quality and depth of the Premier League’s top four, in addition to possessing too many below-par performers such as Stewart Downing, who are yet to prove cost effective.

So far in his Liverpool career, the Anfield boss has made a series of astute and promising signings, and I believe Rodgers will be able to maintain his successes in the transfer market by taking full advantage of the potential £40million at his disposal. Sometimes you have to take a step back in order to move forwards, and although Suarez’s departure will be a huge loss on Merseyside, it could provide the foundations for the club ‘s future, by continuing and extrapolating further Liverpool’s current transfer policy of investing  in promising and talented youngsters.

The issue of diving has been thrust back into the spotlight over the weekend after David Moyes admitted warning one of his own players against the art.

Ashley Young was the Manchester United man targeted by Moyes, who also said there should be retrospective action taken against players that dive.

Young was booked for going down too easily under a challenge from Kagisho Dikgacoi during United’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Dikgacoi was later sent off for fouling the England international in the penalty area.

In an email to BBC Radio 5 live’s 606 programme, Palace chairman Steve Parish said: “If preventing a goal-scoring opportunity is a straight red then trying to create one by cheating should be a straight red also.

“Ashley Young’s dive and the appeal before put pressure on the ref to give a subsequent penalty that was certainly outside the area and probably wasn’t even a foul.

“Ashley Young has a yellow card and three points and we have no points and one less player to pick from for the next game.

“[The result] might have cost us a point that might keep us up. [We] need to get some momentum behind a straight red for a dive.”

Last season saw 34 yellow cards shown for simulation in the Premier League.

That figure was the highest recorded in four years, up 14 on the previous season’s total, suggesting that diving is indeed a growing problem for the English game.

So, how can it be stamped out? Is retrospective banning the answer? Or is issuing red cards instead of yellow ones a good idea?

Rio Ferdinand agrees with his new boss and thinks retrospective banning might be the answer.

He said: “It’s difficult for a referee to look at a situation and say ‘yes he dived or no he didn’t or there was contact’. So retrospective viewing and punishments may be the way to go.”

Fans have also been having their say on the Ashley Young incident, and diving in general, on Twitter.

@davey_deee tweeted: “Even as a #ManUtd fan… Completely agree with #CrystalPalace co-chairman Steve Parish.”

@colinfriel said: “I’m a Utd fan & it’s disgusting to see, he should’ve been sent off, fined & dropped for a few games at least.”

Asked whether that was a bit extreme by other Twitter users, @WhoMrWho tweeted to say: “It will always happen unless extreme punishment is put in place. I hate to see it.”

@philmscribe added: “It’ll make no difference. It’s too ingrained in him (Ashley Young) now. Sadly, he’ll get more pens than yellows from doing it, guaranteed.”

Whether the FA will try to initiate a scheme aimed at preventing diving remains to be seen, but now that a Premier League manager has had to publicly dig out one of his own players, surely something will have to be done soon.

What do you think? Does the issue need scrutinising? Was Moyes right to reprimand Young? Was what Parish said fair? And how about what other fans have said on the issue? Leave your thoughts below.

and Arsenal’s hopes of a January deal for Barcelona midfielder Alex Song have suffered a set back, with news that Inter Milan are keen on his signature, according to reports from The Express.

The ex-Gunners ace looks set to leave the Nou Camp this winter after a thoroughly disappointing 18 months.

The Cameroonian left the Emirates Stadium in 2012 to pursue silverware with Barca, but has struggled to earn a spot in the starting XI.

With the likes of Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Cesc Fabragas all impressive this term, Song’s hopes of reviving his career under recent managerial arrival Tata Martino look bleak.

As a result he is thought to be ready to leave in the New Year, which has prompted interest from United and Arsenal.

But, the Premier League duo face stern competition in the shape of Inter.

The Milan giants are ready to make a serious move for his services, which is likely to be accepted by Barca.

Song has insisted that he is committed to the Catalan club, but did confess that enjoyed his time at Arsenal:

“I do not know what will happen in the future,” he told RMC earlier this month.

“But it is true that I spent some fantastic seasons there [at Arsenal].

“We will see what happens, but for now I’m a Barcelona player.”

Arsenal travel to the Allianz Arena for the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie battling back from a two goal deficit.

Bayern Munich saw off Arsene Wenger’s men; capitalising after Wojciech Szczesny was sent off for bringing down Arjen Robben in the box.

From there the Bavarians seized control, with strikes from Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller leaving the Gunners with an uphill struggle.

However, all is not lost for Arsenal. Far from it. Here are three reasons why the dream isn’t over…

1) With 11 men on the pitch Arsenal more than took the game to Bayern…

2) If they win a penalty, they know to not let Mesut Ozil anywhere near it. Unless he promises to stop mucking around and take it properly…

3) Urrrm, remember what happened last time at the Allianz Arena…?

The Mirror ran a live blog of reaction yesterday following Thomas Hitzlsperger’s announcement. That alone should be enough to indicate why the former German international waited until after his retirement to come out.

Hitzlsperger said he was advised against coming out while he was still playing, during his season with Wolfsburg in 2011-12. It would have been an enormous weight on his shoulders, even if his playing career was winding down. The manner in which the media and football community can handle this matter, as evidenced yesterday, discourages those wishing to speak out about their personal lifestyle.

It is a shame, of course, but it’s wholly understandable. Is the football world ready for active players to publically announce their sexual orientation? It says more about football as a collective than it does of them, but promisingly Hitzlsperger isn’t the first athlete to come out in recent months.

The comments of PSG defender Alex seemed to set up a barricade for those looking to come out. “God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Yves,” was generally dismissed by Hitzlsperger, with the German stating he feels sorry for the defender, who’s inability to look past religion prevents him from looking at the wider situation.

But while Hitzlsperger has received plenty of support from those inside and away from the game, had he been an active player, his career could have been altered by his public coming out. Would clubs be so willing to offer him a contract? What about countries such as Russia, which more than likely would have closed its doors to him, regardless of footballing ability?

Hitzsperger’s interview was another positive step. As the highest-profile footballer to come out, it will encourage others to do the same. Even those who are intolerant of homosexuality, such as Alex, are in the minority.

It may have been too soon for the German to come out if he was an active player, such would be the furore – the aim is to take this matter to a place where it becomes a non-story. But those who are thinking to do so will be comforted by the fact that they are not alone, nor will they lack utmost support from fans, the media and the majority of their contemporaries.
