England coach Fabio Capello has hinted that Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs should be prepared to leave Arsenal on loan if they want to continue their international future.
Wilshere and Gibbs were both named in the England squad to face Hungary later this week despite not being first choice for Arsene Wenger’s first-team. Capello suggested Wilshere is only in the squad on the back of his performances during a spell with Bolton Wanderers last season, and said it is a worry that the countries most promising players aren’t regulars for their clubs.
“Yes it is a worry because players need to play. It is important to play on a regular basis because it is easier to monitor their development. Wilshere played last year at Bolton and now he’s here, the same with Joe Hart. The players need to play”
Wenger has turned down the advances of several Premier League clubs and will consider Wilshere as part of his first-team plans for the new season. However, Capello has told told Jack, Kieran and other members of the England team they should consider leaving their current employers if they’re not first choice and they wish to continue their international futures.
An article in “The People” yesterday claimed Wilshere has already told Wenger he wants to leave if isn’t a regular.
Oh shit….oh shit.
…Or Capello could look at it this way: When Wilshere plays regularly for Arsenal, he’s ready for England.
now that makes sence
wilshere should most definately leave if he isn’t a regular. no need to make him into a new vela (gets no playing time which hampers his development greatly).
gibbs should stay though. we need cover for clichy
Why english pushing kids ahead of their time. Where is David Bentley, Muamba never earned a call up. Please it is not just about playing but playing under a good coach and with good players. Joe Cole was made to play hard with grit and now he lost his flair and his career.

England are rubbish, Cappello is struggling and all of a sudden it becomes Arsenals problem. F*** off england, F*** off Capello, Wilshire is our employee and we will do what we think is best for our club.
Very well said mate, We pay WIlshere, not England! If all he needed was to play to win a place I wonder why Walcott lost his place after playing not only for arsenal but also for england pre-world cup matches! Capello has got a prb with arsenal, ever since arsenal have been beating the crap out of milan! I have just two words for you Capello: “F*CK OFF”…
Bang on!
Wilshere sounds like a bit of an ass to me…he should wait his goddamn turn. He’s only 18 for fuck’s sake.
What’s Wilshere done?
It’s not like he’s been bugging the manager and insisting he deserves a place.
Regardless of what club a player plays for if he is not getting any game time he should leave to go on loan so what Capello said was right.
Not a chance in hell Wilshere should leave!!! what a fucking idiot Capello is. He is good enough for Arsenal already and will show that in PL. I think he will be used in the wings most of the time this season.
Lol toolbag capello…let wenger do with wilshere what he did with cesc, it’ll b better in the long term
than wilshere playing with donkeys like Kevin davies would do for his career
Capello should keep his mind on the England team not start interferring with individual players and the clubs they play for saying that Wilshere and Gibbs should leave Arsenal to get regular playing time so he can pick them for the England team. He should say something about Terry, Gerard and the rest of the dead beats who were our so called best that England could provide during the World Cup and between the lot of them could only score 4 goals. Perhaps he should drop these so called players.
cappello just passing the blame for his failures as england coach
to take away from the fact he hasnt aclue willsure gibs are arsenal players
the club has made them wat the are ,wenger is the greatest coach in
the world why every young player in the world wants to play with us !!!
mr cappello why was crouch not played why did u bring ledly half fit
dawson fully fit didnt get ba look in? pass ur parcel someplace else not welcome here
Capello should think more long term. Arsenal has one of the best youth systems in he world and possibly the best in the U.K. Wilshire and Gibbs need to stay to further develop their technical abilities, a team like Bolton can give playing time but they cannot transform a talent like Wilshire into one like Iniesta. Only Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool have the ability to do that. Manu has a great youth development system but they are good at the athletic side of the game. During the early days of Scholes, and Giggs manu were the best at improving he technical aspect of football. but now all their players do is run at a high tempo or give the odd driblle
I have no problem with what Capello is quoted above as saying about players needing to play. On the other hand, if he pulled them aside as reported and told them to leave Arsenal, that’s pretty much unacceptable. Arsenal should have their lawyers look into it — seems like some sort of tapping up. Or at least raise a PR stink about it. With all our good young English players, we need to lay a marker down with the FA for future relations.
On the other hand, I don’t believe for an instant that Wilshire told Wenger that he wants to leave if he doesn’t get playing time, so it’s well within reason that all this is just media crap.
I think Wenger needs to have a look at his squad thoroughly.Some players are just playing on reputation and not on form.I say players that perform well should play and players should fight for their place.So if Whilshere and Gibbs show that they are good enough and fit enough then why should age stop them from being in Arsenal’s first team ? Also Capello should mind his own buisness after a disgraceful World Cup.
If everybody thinks this way there will be no squad players left for any clubs. Arsenal do not give a crap about how Capello thinks our players should be doing. We do what’s best for our players and the club.
he’s an arsenal player first.
we don’t need to suit capello’s or FA’s needs, he trains well get games and if good enough they can call him.
i am sick of that, cesc stuff was enough this summer, we don’t need the FA to force our starlets out too
off course wilshere should be on first team otherwise it is better to leave z club
jeez they are farkin teenagers who need to be regulars for top clubs at champions league level before they can help ‘save’ england – how about we let them develop with 20 odd games this season so they grow into this level of player – whats the rush!!
the players have a contract with Arsenal so Arsenal will decide if they go on loan or not. wenger wants wilshere so he is not leaving on loan. Capello can go fuck himself if thats not good enough for him. He is putting the cart before the horse a bit. Wenger has been watching wilshere’s development closely and has been looking after him and his injuries. Capello is suggesting Arsenal dont care about him and dont rate him, which is bullshit.
I think Jack can put serious pressure on Arshivan for the left side of the 4-3-3 and should be playing most games even if he doesnt start.
I’m not impressed with Arsihvan he has a attidue problem and I think he should have been sold during the summer. Great abillity but his head is not right and he lack of workrate is not good for the team.
Jack mayabe is not a skillful yet but he aint no slouch and he gives 110% every game.
He doesn’t play on the left.
If he’s good enough for Arsenal, he’s good enough for England. If he’s not good enough for Arsenal, then how can he be good enough for England? Is the English team that bad right now?
Because Arsenal is better than England.
Yes, they are that bad.
I think Capello should really think about the detrimental effect his comments can have on clubs. I would be amazed if these comments are true (including Jack Wilshere’s wanting away). He should wait his turn. Gradually Rosisky would age and play sparingly and becoming more of an impact sub. Wilshere should be patient. I know it is hard when you have talent but he simply has to be patient. It is a virtue that would not hurt him and in the long run would serve him will
Wenger is the boss, and he already saw last season that Gibbs had earned his place. Had it not been for the injury he got (Capello seems oblivious to that), he would have helped put Arsenal at the helm of the league. Wilshere was out on loan already last season, and now Wenger thinks his time has come to play for us, so Capello, do some reading again. What happened to England (the lot was and is very talented, but a bit spoilt) was unfortunate, but Capello should concentrate on building his team, not destroying reputable clubs, like Arsenal is.
Capello is talking like an idiot! England failure was brought by him and the so called ‘big names’. He cant advice us on how 2 manage Arsenal. England will never win any trophy under Capello.
Wilshere and Gibbs will be regulars next year in my opinion. Last year due to injuries Ramsey was actually playing week in week out, and now that he’s injured long term, it opens a space for Wilshere. And on Saturday Wenger actually played Gibbs in midfield so that could signal a chance for him to get game time even when Clichy is fit. If Wenger wasn’t going to consider Wilshere a regular he would have already sent him to Bolton. I don’t see Arsenal allowing Wilshere to leave anyway, especially after our fight with Cesc. After all that committment to keeping Cesc here, why suddenly offload his potential replacement?
Gibbs will be first choice LB if Clichy keeps up last season’s form and Wilshere will get games but in a variety of positions.
However, at the end of the day Arsenal pay their wages, Arsenal own their contracts and Arsenal should choose what happens to them. Far too much reverence is given to the English team when it is the clubs who have the major fan base’s.
Ar those 2 boys employed at Arsenal or playing 4 charity? Capello think-up!!!
Capello talking a lot of crap wilshere is being picked on his pre season displays if he were being picked on bolton displays he would of been in south africa, it also show because gibbs was not playing end of season for arsenal but plays pre season and CRAPELLO picks him also if they leave they may become the new david bentleys who also never get picked
I can’t see Capello ever being a success as the England manager. It’s not all his fault, but the quality of the players he has to choose from. I really see England being a huge force in 6-8 years time. There are quality English teenagers learning their trade from foreign managers like Wenger. Once these kids grow up they will know how to play a more continental style, not just kick it up the field and hope for the best. By my count, Arsenal has around 15 English kids under the age of 21 that have at least some International experience. That’s 15 kids learning how to become complete players. Although not a fan of the English team, I am very interested to see what their team will looke like in 2016 &2018. Imagine a team of fully developed players like Wilshere, Gibbs, Walcott, Catermole, Rodwell, Frimpong, JET, Moses, Hart, Sturridge and Wellbeck. If half of these players progress at the expected rate, England can be a top 5 contender in every competition.
The reality is that Wilshere and Gibbs are good enough to start for almost every EPL team outside of the Top 4. Arsenal is in the unfortunate or fortunate position of having young players throughout the squad, so, even if a player like Gibbs is willing to wait, it’s not clear when he’ll get his chance. We want cover for Clichy but why would Gibbs want to play that role if he can get guaranteed first team experience at a “lesser” club? Clichy could be at Arsenal for the next five years. How long should he wait?
Capello is a failure, that is why he cant progress with team like ‘ENGLAND’
to me,i did not see him as a person who should decide for arsenal young star…
Euck you capello!
wilshere, gibbs, walcott all three will stay not sure about lansbury
and no player is guaranteed a place in starting lineup
Interesting, cos Theo gets regular starts at Arsenal, and Fabio discarded him like yesterdays newspaper.
Fck off Capello, you use and abuse our players when it suits you, and when you drop them, we ahve to pick up the pieces – and in any case, we pay their wages.
Screw you, greasey twat.
1st of for who is Cappalo? what did for England nationl time? what does he know about
Wilshare and Gibbs. so suht up!!!!!!!
i agree with most points on here on the subject. one other point, we have to be careful with our loanees as we have to ensure our 9 from 25 ‘qualified’ players. Can’t say I’ve looked too deeply at this but would guess that Watt and Freeman already out on loan has left very few spaces for yung english guys to go on loan. odd that we seem to be told to bring young english lads through but when we become succesful at this we are then hampered by the system and the english coaches wishes?

It will neither help England nor Arsenal to pamper players. This pronouncement could push Wenger to play both players at all cost. Capello’s advise was no needed season when Wilshire was sent on loan to Bolton. If Wenger decides to retain him this time, why wouldn’t Capello wait and see how things unfold? A season is quite long and Arsenal will be involved in four competitions – The premiership, Carling cup, F. A. cup and the Champions League. Wilshire and Gibbs will surely play the Carling Cup and the F.A. cup. They will surely get some games in the Premiership. There are certain scenarios where they would get even Champions League games – at the worst, when qualification is ensured. Their demonstrated abilities in these games will make them put pressure on the stating squad. I opine therefore, that there is not even any need for this comment now. I do not think that Wenger will be afraid to use him if he performs better than Fabragas, Same goes for Gibbs and Clichy.
Capello cannot suddenly be more interested in the progress of these lads than Wenger so, this is an unnecessary comment.
All of you say shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wilshare and Gibs should remain to cover our well known injuries. All of you plus that silly Capello shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Capello MUST fuck off arsenal business. He is a failure who could not deliver. STOP dictating Prof. Wenger, after all where is Englang. FUCK OFF Capello FUCK OFF arsenal business.
Where does it say he thinks they should leave, all he says is that he thinks they should play more games. Misleading title.
Thank you! Was about to say the same thing.
Very irresponsible journalism. I expect better from this blog.
read past the statement. Think about wat prompted him 2 say that. How come he was able to say the right words last season about the need for Theo 2 have more playing time at “Arsenal”.
oh capella, u r a total disaster, a total failure n a piece of shit.
B4 making these comments Cappello shud ve looked back at the History of all the good looking england prospects that came up at Arsenal including Bentley, Pennant who felt they were 2 good to be on the fringes of the Arsenal fisrt team and consequently left against the wishes of AW. Upson could ve bn a sure starter 4 England if he hadn’t felt 2 big to w8 4 Keown/Cambel 2 slow down. If England’s players aren’t good enough for champions league footballing teams, where does the future of the team lie coz there z no carling cup version for the national teams. Use yo big Head Capello.
what an absolute monkey capello is.
him and england deserve eachother.
Mr. Crapello should keep his dim witted advice to himself.
England will continue to be unsuccessful until 75% of their team are Arsenal players.
Arsenal’s youth system will do for England for Barca’s has just done for Spain, just give it 8-12 years. England representatives and fans should f*** off and show some gratitude.

Capello is an idiot.
If Wilshire or Gibbs never played for a top four team then they would never have Champions league experience.
Gibbs has played a Champions league semi and Wilshire has played many times in Europe and in many cup games. Surely this experience that they have of the biggest competiton helps them.
Also we could send to a shit team like stoke or Blackburn and we would get a tottaly shit player back.
