Sorry gaffer, computer says no
GPS technology can do so much more than just help you find your way successfully from Land’s End to John o’ Groats – it’s now being used to sell car insurance to young drivers in the form of a telematics box and it may even help England win the European Championships in 2012.
Yes, I know this last statement sounds wildly spurious and optimistic but it’s true, if only you’ll read on.Jack Wilshire, widely considered to be the greatest creative young midfield prospect we’ve produced since Paul Scholes – some even rate him as better – has said that he won’t go to the European Under-21 Championships after being warned off competing by the little GPS black box he has fitted to his body every time he plays.
It says that he’s getting tired, worn out and risks injury and exhaustion if he continues to play on through the summer’s under-21 tournament, having already clocked up more pitch minutes than any other Arsenal player this season.
As such, he’ll be free to rest, relax and have a summer holiday like any other person this summer. As a full international and Arsenal regular, he’s no longer a novice student of the game, so his decision to not compete will earn him a well-deserved break and be one that hopefully helps us come the 2012’s senior tournament.
