All I've heard is rave reviews of this kid, "the next Jack Wilshere" seems to be the common consensus.
I'd love to see him myself.
He misses every single one.
He was just ranging in. Today his ATOMIC shots will all end up in the net. Is the world ready for his power?
Next Jack Wilshere? Oh no.... I'd prefer the next Aaron Ramsey.
Great news as Podolski training again. Soon there will be no room on our bench for that hack Bendtner! Yes.
Why? Jack Wilshere is more talented.
Not in my opinion. Aaron has it all, Jack does not.
Don't make me go looking for those posts again baby
Ush, you optimist. 😀
Yeah. You can. The option to do that is under 'Tactics' on the character screen. Check out the demo on the eShop.

I hope that's a non-localised OS translation
@Scum, don't wanna register any of my 3DS stuff until 3D Land is free, so no eshop for me just yet
Cheers for the answer
I guess if you are comparing the two right now. But why would you do that?
I'd say the only thing Ramsey is better at is finishing and staying healthy. And it would be dumb to say Jack isn't a good finisher, because we all said that last year about Ramsey and look how that turned out
My opinion on the 2 has changed since that time. I was wrong then, I'm right now. Ramsey is becoming the perfect midfielder in my opinion.
Thought it was amusing how Wenger said Jacky would never be a goalscorer, and then the later brought it up in a post-match interview after he'd scored! Mind games innit.

tbf you rate players based on their current ability. I can say Cissokho's ball control isn't good enough, because it isn't. If he turns a corner, fair enough. He probably won't though

I didn't :/
They play different positions and have totally different styles.
The reason people compare Crowley to Wilshere is because their style is very similar. Deep runs from midfield. Both have a great burst of pace. Both are at their best when they are facing the game.

Why would you compare Aaron Ramsey, who has had 2.5 seasons of consistent play, to Jack who has had 1/2 a season in that same amount of time? The comparison is meaningless.
And in all honestly, who cares who is better. They are both Arsenal players.
Me neither :/
I question Wilshere's ability to defend though. If he want's to replace Arteta eventually he needs to learn discipline, positioning, when to pass and when to run etc. He's also very hot headed.
At the moment he has to play next to the DM, much like Ramsey, therefore they are essentially competing for one another's place.
hhnnnnnnnnnnggggg
She's really rather beautiful.
West Brom vs A. Villa is at 8pm, right? Sky1??
Fair enough. 😊I hope that's a non-localised OS translation

Of course its meaningless, but its fun to compare player's attributes, and at the moment Ramsey has shows that he's capable of consistently decent finishing while Wilshere has not. Whether Wilshere will show the same in the future or not is irrelevant when discussing their current abilities.
Either way, scoring just isn't Wilshere's game. Not for the reserves (iirc), not at Bolton, and not now. Maybe if he got into the box more, and shot more, he'd add goals to his game, but I wouln't hold my breath

Bacon doesn't hate foreigners. He just hates black people.
Last year everyone was applauding him for being the only player who looked like he had any passion. Now its hot hotheadedness.
I think expecting Jack to just replace Areta's role is a mistake. They are very different players and Jack's talents would be wasted if he were just to play Arteta's role. I think a midfield pair of Ramsey and Jack will be the future and it will function differently from the current pair.
Also he is 21 ffs. Give him some consistent playing time before judging him so harshly.

Last season this is what everyone said.
Jack has 20 goals in 7 seasons(128 apps). Ramsey has 24 in 9 (200). Let's not jump to any conclusions.

Definitely getting Bravely Default, sounds awesome. Was worried it was based on a manga or something and I'd have no idea about the story, but it seems to be standalone which is great. Hope it doesn't rely too much on the AR features and online stuff outside of the actual game
Haven't played a JRPG since FFX. 3DS purchase is already redeeming itself, gonna try and get Fire Emblem as well to expand my library to 4 games already
Are all of the Phoenix Wright games worth playing in order, or are there any that aren't worth it?
So that's
Pokemon X
LoZ: A Link Between Worlds
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Bravely Default
999 (DS)
Virtue's Last Reward
Phoenix Wright series

Is there any link between the saves for 999 and VLR? There's no voice acting in either is there?

Ramsey will end up replacing Chesney.
nah, wilshere's very much a deep lying midfielder, imo.

Yep. Wilshere's best strength (pre injury at least) was nipping past 2 or 3 midfielders with the ball, either with a one-two, drop of the shoulder, or just bursting throught the gap. When he did that, he'd leave Arsenal with a 4 vs 4 or so scenario and plenty of movement ahead of him and space to weigh up his exquisite passing.
If he plays further up, there won't be any space to find by doing that, as the players he'd be facing would be a more compact defensive shape, with less space in behind, fewer players to find with the eventual pass, and a defensive midfielder to face thrown in for good measure
