A fit Jack Wiltshire playing 40 plus games a season for us would undoubtedly be a huge signing for us. He is some player on his game and not too old that he can't rediscover some good form. However, I am sick of us signing players that have been injury prone prior to signing for us only for us to have to pay up their contracts to get rid of them . If we do sign him I know how good he could be but worry he will be sitting in the dressing room injured all the time.

MOCBear, i totally agree with you mate. There's absolutely no doubt that an injury free jack wilshere is a fantastic, very talented midfielder, who can glide past opponents and has the killer ball in his armoury 👌 Remember when he was coming through the ranks at the arsenal, he was labelled by his peers as possibly the next paul gascoigne, as although not as good as gazza, no midfielder in england has ever been, over the last half century, wilshere had a similar midfield style to the great ONE👌.
No risk whatsoever, if we can attract wilshere up here to train with us at the rangers training centre, to run the rule over him for a period of time, to get an overall look at him!
Even then if everything does seem fine, we should offer him at the beginning, a pay as you play contract to see how everything goes. But i totally agree that IF we could get wilshere and keep him fit, there's not ANY midfielder currently playing in scotland, anywhere near as good as him!

Why would JW be interested in a pay as you play contract? Why would anybody want to take a player who can’t play anymore? This joke has blown completely out of proportion.
08 Oct 2020 07:04:26
If we got him then 40 games a season he would be a fantastic signing moc.
08 Oct 2020 07:43:21
He's only played 60 games in the last 8 seasons, there's no way he will play 40 games, he will be lucky to survive SGs training sessions.

The prospect of Wilshere and Davis lining up in the same midfield is mouth watering! If it happens, and that is still a big IF, a pay as you play deal would have no risks for Rangers. Don't be fooled into thinking that Wilshere is soft and fragile. He is a tough player who has been unlucky with injuries. I for one would be delighted if he joined us. He could be the difference between #55 or not.

I said same sort of thing last night he would be a good signing
Some folk shot the idea down 😳
To me he would be. A marquee signing for us.
08 Oct 2020 08:41:32
Sweep I thought that too, however info fro here indicates he has in fact played many more. It appears financial reasons restricted his games at West Ham.
08 Oct 2020 09:16:45
He will not be signing for Rangers so the point is totally irrelevant he will not play 1 game for us let alone 40. It’s just a made up story to try and sell papers.
08 Oct 2020 09:41:09
I think we have no intention of signing him? Gerrard will shoot it down at his next press meeting.
08 Oct 2020 09:43:54
Financial reasons will probably stop him playing up here also. As much as I would love to see him pull on a rangers top I can’t see it. When we signed gazza we had the financial ability to do so. We ain’t got the money for him.
He could sign for championship team and earn a lot more than what we can offer plus he wouldn’t have to up sticks to Scotland. Lovely if it happens. I had 3 boys fitting my kitchen yesterday 2 of them Tim’s talking abt us winning the league if wilshire signs. While the 1 rangers fan was telling them we are going to win it anyway. He’s a good guy 😂🔴⚪ï¸ðŸ”µ.

Apparently he posted himself when he was released that he has been fit for 8 months.
So your point John25 that it is probably financial reasons for not playing for West Ham is true. And I’m sure they sold a player to West Brom to raise money which the fans and Mark Noble ( captain) weren’t very happy about.
08 Oct 2020 10:28:45
My thoughts exactly, Barrowlad! Until Gerrard, or the club state there is an interest, it's just paper talk.
08 Oct 2020 10:48:44
If he could play 40 games a season he wouldn't be linked with us🤔ðŸ‘.
08 Oct 2020 10:57:34
Don't get me wrong wilshere is a quality player and you would take him in a heartbeat, he would be class. ðŸ‘.
08 Oct 2020 11:25:36
If Wilshere is a marquee signing, does that mean he will play with intent?
08 Oct 2020 12:01:16
Yes, very good Efriar. I hear he has a great left peg. Seriously though, if Wilshere were to join us there is the lure of European football which Championship sides and most of the other EPL sides can't offer. I wouldn't expect 40 games, maybe 20 chosen carefully, including the European games and don't risk him on any artificial pitches. I'd love to see him up against Broonie at Porkheid.
08 Oct 2020 13:00:48
Doiger he can't play European football until February with us, the deadline for europa league has pasted now.
08 Oct 2020 13:47:35
Bluebell English media says he was on 50 k per game appearance money. A lot off money, but he was quality,
Coldo makes good point, if he could play 40 games he’s not coming here.
