    • @Squidward-jv7go
      @Squidward-jv7go 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Different type of player. When Wilshere was young he won young player of the year and was in the team of the year despite not scoring or assisting much at all. You say people loved him throughout, I’m pretty sure fans were losing patience with him him his final few seasons.
      I’m not hating on Iwobi but if we’re honest for every brilliant thing he does he will do something equally daft. But potential is there definitely
