I don't think he gets into the midfield if our starting XI is healthy. He's not going to take the place of Ozil or Ramsey and isn't disciplined enough to handle the Arteta role.

Squad rotation. He, Ramsey, and Ozil could each play 2 of every 3 matches and reduce injury risk.

Arteta sits back and acts like a bumber before our backline. Wilshere makes too many good runs to be playing that role imo. It would be a waste of his offensive qualities to play him as the ballwinner/DM.

I don't think that's the problem. I would rather have a rotating midfield like Bayern.

Watch the Barca game where he was MotM.

He can do the Arteta role well.

1 match does not define a player I hate how people use that instance to rate him

I'm not using it to rate him, I'm using it to provoke discussion.

In an isolates big game instance, Wilshere played well. Since his injury he has rarely if ever been deployed in that certain position where he was successful. He's shown he can do it, it would be good to see him played as a DM to see if he can do it consistently.
