Nothing much more than Wilshere

Not much news around today. I haven't read anything new about Senderos' move to Everton, which I would imagine will happen in the next week. I don't like the idea of selling him without a quality replacement. Unloading a 4th choice center back and bringing in someone who could possibly push the starting two like Bassong or Hangeland would be good business but I don't see it happening.

Wilshere is being touted in the papers as a possible new England savior for the upcoming world cup. That's all a bit over the top for me. He's only just come into the first team, he's not even a regular. I think that in the near future, maybe a few years, he'll be Englands answer to a naturally left sided midfielder since Steward Downing never really managed. The next European Cup maybe.

I admit to going a little crazy over him having watched the last two games and I do think that he'll be one of the best players in the world some day, it's just that Wenger needs to work out how to play it, how to drive down the expectation and proctect him some. I discussed how he may benefit from playing a lot, the way Cesc did at the same age, but others have talked about having to keep a lid on him a bit so he doesn't get ruined by a failure to live up to hype.

Not much else to report, we'll go back to rival analysis tomorrow.
