Simply because he's three times the player Drinkwater is.
One of the advantages of not playing all season is that he'll go into the tournament fresh as a daisy with the warm-up matches building up his match fitness as he goes. I find it bizarre that anybody would prefer Drinkwater out of the two. As for Henderson and Drinkwater- much of a muchness, so not particularly bothered either way. |

I knew Wilshere was hated across the media and opposing fans but surprised to see fans of his club team feel the same.
Just because he was injured for most of the season doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to go. Laughable if anyone thinks Drinkwater is a better player than Wilshere. |

Not sure why Jack is in there either, but I can predict the following to occur:
He plays well for all of the games, gets injured in the last one and misses 80-90% of next season with us. |

Some people like Sky Sports or that go on about Wilshere like he is Thiago or Bayern or Gundogan of Dortmund or Koke etc when he's never been half as good as them at any point in his career so far, living on reputation. |

The two goals against Slovenia showed what he can produce.

just as I'm about to slit my wrists at the thought of not being able to retire in France in the sun with my mates - no, I love England but I have a chronic illness that is much improved in warmer climates - looks like another 3 year deal is in the offing for Wenger to cheer me up further.
Plus Morata says he wants to know where he's playing next season before 13 June when Spain start, as says it's unsettling. So reckon Morata is the latest 'Higuian' as regards Arsenal. I'll drive me to strong drink I tell ya. |

It would be insane to give him a new 3 year deal.
Absolutely insane. |

that's how I read Gazidis's comments though. No hurry, Wenger is fit, keen, he can win us the league, long term planning at a time of The Great One's choosing etc. Don't you?

Absolutely insane. He's on a guaranteed 8 Million a year. Like any sane human being he'll be fighting hard to keep it that way. |

Absolutely insane. For those who thought he would leave at the end of his contract.......tis sheer folly I say! I'm off to slash my wrists with Ihatemarmite. |

Stuart James who is the Guardian football writer for the Midlands has just tweeted that he understands we have triggered the release clause in Jamie Vardy's contract!
Apparently Leicester are determined to keep him though so what happens next is anyones guess. |

Vardy is such a one dimensional player. He has no subtlety or European experience. Plus there's a really nasty side to him. Why would Arsenal go for him? I don't understand.

Think it's last chance saloon, Wenger going all out to win something big next season. He knows one big slip up, failure not to strengthen and he'll have no leg to stand on. And as Leicester have shown, it's not about the flashy names, we need players of substance. |

Vardy will be another Francis Jeffers. Short-sighted Wenger.

Absolutely insane. Onto Vardy. Not sure he is the right choice although Ian Wright and others will be delighted. IF Morata etc come as well than it is great striking options. |

He's decent if you play on the counter.

Would he sign a new 3 Year deal. Even if he does no way he would he stay for the duration.

Vardy has only had one good season and that is with a team playing the wimbledon way. How would he fit in with a sophisticated if sometime boring team that is all about possession?
