Arsenal fans were delighted to see young Aaron Ramsey become captain of his country – it made us realise that the media drivel about our lack of leaders is perhaps grossly exaggerated.
We were speculating about who our next international captain will be and many thought that Wilshere has all the right attributes to captain his country. Some were saying it was wishful thinking from Gooners but the current England captain has seen enough in the past few months to realise that Arsenal have a future England captain in their ranks.
The current England captain said that Wilshere "has definitely got the character and the qualities to be a future England
He adds that "Wilshere is someone who always works his socks off, tries hard, stays behind after training, wants to learn and improve.
I sit across from Jack on the team bus and I've got to know him over the last few months.
As a person and a character, he can handle it with England
He knows he deserves to be in this England
We have seen Wilshere´s confidence growing on the pitch for Arsenal. I have been particularly impressed with him in the last month when he seemed to be driving the players on when we were behind (the Carling Cup final comes to mind).
Whatever you think about John Terry, he does know a thing or two about being a captain and I would be delighted if our Wilshere becomes an England
Obviously, his priority remains now to keep on improving with Arsenal. I would love for Fabregas to stay at the club for a long time but if he ever leaves we may have a ready-made leader already in our ranks. But may be Vermaelen, Nasri or even Ramsey ( who got another game under his belt yesterday) will have something to say about that.
Not bad for a club without leaders, eh?
