Everton did not dodge a bullet from Jack Wilshere – they wisely did not enter the shootout

Everton did not really escape a shot at Jack Wilshere – they wisely decided to stay out of the shootout all together.

Wilshere completed his free transfer to West Ham United on Monday night and hopes to launch a career that has stagnated somewhat over the past two years.

The midfielder, who ended a long badociation with Arsenal last month, had been a free agent since his contract officially expired with the Gunners on June 30.

The former England is a player who was loved by the previous regime of Steve Walsh and Sam Allardyce, the latter never completely avoiding his interest.

"I saw a big difference in Jack Wilshere recently, in his body, in his body," commented Alllardyce in March. "It seems to really have the bit between the teeth."

"He looks more fit than he was and he is leaner in the face." Looks like he had a real phone call, with his diet and his extra workout, to overcome his injury problems and prove that he is a great player. "

A week later, Everton's boss was questioned

" Any player from Decent quality who is available, who leaves his club, would be interesting for us, "he said.

"Without mentioning any specific names, we must still say that we already have a lot of players here, and up to That we sit together and establish our plan for the outings and "

However, the interest of Walsh and Allardyce for the former Arsenal star was not shared by the current regime of Marcel Brands and Marco Silva and Wllshere ended his stint in West Ham Monday over three days.

The 26-year-old athlete endured a car ravaged by injuries eer – something which has been well documented since its debut at Arsenal 10 years ago.

After a decade of high-level football, Wilshere has only played 166 times in the Premier League, scoring eight times.

To put this in per spective, Leighton Baines, who moved to Goodison Park in 2007, made 335 high-profile appearances for the Blues.

A relatively injury-free campaign The term saw Wilshere make 20 appearances during Arsene Wenger's final run, but Everton was wise to disengage himself from the free agent.

Wilshere will earn a reported £ 100,000 per week with hammers. At a time when Everton is trying to reduce the excesses of the huge madness of last summer, a big money deal for another offensive midfielder would have been a fool.

Up to now, their powder has remained dry in the transfer market. look Blues set-up think – and act – smarter.
